So the chassis is just about complete. It may look spectacular but the bitching rear end fought me all the way. The driveshaft fit was terrible, I broke and had to mend some really flimsy parts (my fault), some of the Tamiya quoted hose lengths were simply wrong, etc
But put together it looks great. This is now over 33cm (13”) long, a scale that really shows off the detail. And now I can move on and start making it look like a racing car: bodywork.

Hi Gen X,
We don't often see any RE-20's here and I am pleased to see you having a proper go at it. I like your progress pics, they look great.
Looking forward to your next update.
Cheers, Paul
