161 - Tonkatsu: Build Completed

160 - It Starts To Look Like Car

After the cleaning of the axles, this week, I've targeted the suspensiond. Switched back to original dampers I've chosen a mixed setup: full drop without springs for the front dampers and internal springs for the rear ones. This setup limits torque twist and allowes better angles for the rear shaft.

Steering links complete but not definitive:

159 - Homework Done!

Electronic/battery tray has been shaped and prepared for painting.

After two coats of black paint electronics have been placed on their tray and it has been screwed on the transmission top after its inspection and cleaning.

Chassis plates have been definitively polished and screwed to the lower skid.

158 - Chassis & Radio Tray

Using #800 sandpaper plus water, #1000 sandpaper plus water and than a polishing paste I've polished the chassis. It isn't mirror finished but it is a good starting point if I will decide to do it or a good definitive finishing.

I've also received the stuff ordered and needed to make the supports for the electronics/radio tray: a pair of brackets made for transmission and screwed upside.

Two slots for the battery strap have also been made.
