Hot Bodies D8 CORR Truck

Next came out the trusty dremel . I cut the battery / servo tray behind were the normal hump battery pack would go as i decided to use this battery box for my receiver .

To get it to fit though i had to cut part of the rear left side of it for clearance of the motor pinion gear and to allow for gear mesh .

You can see were i cut if in the pic , then all that was left to do was attach the steering servo and put a couple of notches in the battery box lid to allow for the receiver antenna and future esc wiring to go through.
The steering servo lead just feeds at the bottom of the box as there was already a hole there.

That's it for now , lipo tray being fitted tomorrow .

A little more progress with the battery tray , front end and slash bumper fitted today .

So far about three hours into with only the rear end and shocks to go

Easiest kit i have ever built apart from some modding for the conversion .
Just trimmed the body roughly up front for now so i could get the bumper in the right spot , and the wheelbase is spot on .

Here is a close up of how i fitted the slash bumper , which actually turned out very easy and i hope the rear bumper works out this easily.

I just shaped the skid plate part of the slash bumper like the bumper in the D8 kit and installed it like the stock one sandwiched in between the front diff housing and chassis.
Then the support for the bumper fell perfectly on a spot on the front diff housing which has quite a thick bit of a flat surface area to it , so i just screwed the support straight to this part of the diff housing .

That's it for now
