Thanks for showing the difference, the forged cross member must have been added with the Model 05. I don't see a central jacking point with your setup. It's absence will help make up the extra weight of all that metal you added. ;)

Haha right Walter, it’s possible this is a model 01 front suspension with 05 rear. Not sure, but it does have the 01 styling with bogie axle, maybe I have a mixed breed from the factory lol. Definitely in the list to start looking around for a model 15 front end, then I can have modern brakes :D


It stops fine. But could stop better. I still need to drive across a scale for you
