Ok, time for an update!

I was a bit unhappy with it to be honest. When the front wheels were turned, the rear inside wheel would lift off the ground. This will cause it to 'diff out' while powering round a corner, thus eventually coming to a complete standstill. This was caused by the angle of the front suspension. You can see how far it leans back in this pic.



To overcome this, i needed to straighten the whole front end up. A lot of head scratching commenced, before I had a brain wave!

As you can see in this pic, the bottom diff cover which also contains the lower arm mounting point is the root of the problem. It needed to be straightened up!



I did think about heating the plastic up, bending it straight etc, but this would be a pretty gash idea. So I just turned it round!



As you can see it fits almost perfectly with a bit of butchering, shall seal the holes up with a bit of sealent

The diff was then refitted, and the suspension went back on. Due to the position of the bracket now, the driveshafts would have been miles out, so the lower arms were chopped about a bit, until they fitted properly




So when the rest of the bits arrive it will be put back together. Just need to make a prop shaft!
