[broncobill]

I think you measure from end to end.

from eyelet to eyelet or the total shaft length??

Total shaft length from thread end to thread end i believe. What do you mean magazine piece together things?

yeah. its an EK4 i think. if it comes fortnighly, youll have your truck finished in 3 years. i was thinking of doing this myself but then weighed up the cost/time factor and decided against it. im keeping my eye out for various parts thatll come up though.
also cheaper just to go buy one off the shelf and then if you really wanted to, strip it to nothing and build it from scratch.
still cant complain about getting 4 complete tyres (rubber, rims and foams) for $12!!

oh and the turnbuckles you need are made by Thunder Tiger, as is the whole truck.

Oh yeah the ek4. Isn't that the truck that came with the .70 engine? I guess you get that one with your last issue...:p
