Re: 1/14 Tamiya Gearbox Assembly

Its really is not hard to change it over to drive front and rear axles, a few extra parts from the Tamiya Ford Kit can be used.

Re: Question about rear frame member

Thank you Berman, that is exactly what I needed to know. Starting with blank frame rails and somewhere down the line will build my own rear bumper for it.
