      Hello all, long time no speak.

      I had some time this weekend (long one here in Canada) so I thought I would finally get to making a monster bug. I have had the parts since earlier in the year, but lacked the time. I have one problem thou… I need a better faster bonding glue. ne1 who knows the best for perm bonding of plastic to plastic without being brittle, please let me know and thanks in advance. I have been finishing up a few other projects as well… when I have had the time. Hopefully work will allow for me to spend more then 2-3 weekends a year next year at this:( I haven’t even bought myself a mini z yet (seems like there is alot of talk in the forums on them lately).

      Thanks everyone. I went with some crazy glue. Looks like it should hold, if not I will have to go with the epoxy. As for the rims, I found just the ones I wanted on a cheap (pricewise) pullback. I will post in the galleries by the weekend. Should be finished most of it by then:)

      rashumble7 I find that all automotive type glues rock for RC, they tend to be much stronger than hardware shop glues for some reason, and cheaper for me 🙂

      “drive” being the key there;). Had a bit of a time with the tyres fitting within the aloted space on the front end so I finally figured that out this weekend. Wanted to finish it today, but had family in town so workshop time was minimal. Still have 0ne issue to address with the back; as well I have made no electronic mods yet, but should have it up and running sometime later in the week if all goes well.

      Well, able to sneak a few hours in tonight. Let me know what you think so far. Not in a drive state yet but working on it. Maybe by the weekend. Still have some glaring stability problems, along with keeping the body on the chassis. :dead:
