Update...... More parts arrived today.
Mugen Fuel Tank 150cc X5T.
RPM Receiver Box Black GT
Ofna Aluminum Antenna Holder Blue
DuraTrax Steering/Shift Linkage Warhead
Ofna Posts & Spacers Fuel Tank Ultra

Ofna T/B Linkage parts are installed on it right now. Kinda did mine a little different, I'll take pics to show later. It will change once I get the FLM TVP's in to do the mid-tank build. Also put a Hellfire wing kit on without having to use any holder for it. Just used the stock shock tower and bolts to hold it on. It's only a solution of waiting for parts but works for the time being. I'll take pics of it as well.
 
Parts in the mail today YAY! Reading who they are from and "it's the shocks" popped in my head. Opening the package I remember stupid me I ordered half sets from two different places... lol. So I now have 2 bb's and 2 LST2 shocks. lol. HAHAHA! Oh well. I really didn't think the LST2's were as big as they are!
 
I've been lazy hahaha. Thanks to 12 hour shifts at work to make up for the holiday season. I'll try to get some up soon. Really waiting till I get the rest of the parts in to start turning wrenches.
 
Finally took a few pics of the build so far......
Hellfire wing, I bought the wrong one...... Played around with it a little bit and got it to fit using the stock shock mounting screws. Temporary fix till I actually buy a new one.

Ofna linkage kit. Couldnt get the bends just right so I made it my own..... Works good so far. Haven't bashed it hard yet with it this way, but I'm going to change it when I get my FLM TVPs in, actually do the mid tank mod and put the throttle servo by the motor.

Stock shock fuel tubing mod. I left the front a little higher than the rear for a little more clearance. 1/2 inch tubing in the front and 3/4 inch tubing in the rear.

From what I've seen on every one else's Joe, yes. I was trying it out and works so far. I haven't bashed it hard yet. I couldn't get the bends to work out great and have plenty of room for the spring. So I just straightened the rod back out and thought I'd try it out. Opens and closes just the same from what I can tell right now. Like I said I haven't gotten on the throttle hard yet. I'll let you know how it works tomorrow. Going bashing with a buddy.

I actually moved the servo back. did a custom mid tank with the stock radio box, and took the servo holder and mounted it next to the engine. only with zip ties but it works. don't feel like taking pics of it cause it will change again when the flm parts get here.
 
such a great day! My FLM parts came in the mail! Debating on to wait to put them on now and get some sleep for work tonight, or say to h*ll with sleep and put them on.

Like you stated "I don't do anything at work". So start wrenching, if you still know how to use tools. LOL
 
Joe's got jokes! Last time I checked I still know how to turn them All the FLM parts are on. Gotta put the engine in and it's a wrap. Calling it quits for the day though. About time to get ready for what I like to call "WORK".
