After a brief sabbatical, I have gotten back to it! Even though it was much longer than the week off I anticipated, but I finallly got it Finished!
Anyway here are some pics of the progress.

Here are the rear springs and shocks. One thing I like about this large scale is that basic out of the box details are top notch. The battery is also shown, wanted to show off the (blurred) decal which is a nice touch, even if it can't be seen in the final

Another view of the rear shocks and the battery is still blurry, oh well - at least it isnt blurred in real life.

Ok, sorry for the redundancy here, you should know what these are by now - and I still couldnt get the battery in focus.

A big jump from the prior pics, here are some drive train and clutch components all prepped and ready to install! I had some issues with the drive chain getting it to stay where it was intended, but overall, everything went well.
The rear brake assembly, which is partially show, was a nice detail as it had a spring and offered actual movement similar to the real thing. I like details like that - even though some attribute that sort of thing as making a model into a toy. Hey, I like toys!

Well, thats it for this post, mostly due to the built in limitations of the forum which keeps me from uplaoding too many photos into a single post.

See you in about 5 minutes.
