Op Telic challenger

Another challenger build I'm afraid! This one is taking a Gary farrow painted top and back plate and making it into a reliable runner with all the bells and whistles.
First step is hull work. The quality of henglong plastic on this hull seems much worse than it used to be, feels very brittle. With this in mind I'll be doing some serious reinforcement. First job is remove battery box, hull get floppier than a very floppy thing. Fitting the suspension mounts is a pita, lots of holes to drill and align, but totally worth it. Next is fitting the suspension arms and wheels. I realised on the chally 1 hull it was much was easier to make up the mounts with the suspesion arms before fitting them to the tank, lesson learnt!
Once these were all on I test fitted the pdsgb to see if everything fits ok, thankfully it does.
