the center axle has the pinion leave through the bottom the front and rear its on top

the main frame rails are 2x 1000mm long 2020 extruded aluminum

each part takes 2 m4 bolts and t slot nuts

the bumper also needs the grill guard attached with some m3 screws and the flaps m3 as well

doors take 2mm stainless rod as hinges

m2 for the air brake handles and inner door panels

m3 for the seat and steering column

5mm stainless for the wheel

trim the acrylic to match the window frames and glue it all in dont forget the back wall of the cab https://youtu.be/zPPHn8kpXwA?si=8zqDxr3M5d8c_qEr&t=28

the 25 minute mark shows how i install the door hinges as well

horn https://youtu.be/uCz3nRtT-H8?si=qeGMnnDt42-vgJjL&t=1791

the visor on the roof is m2

leave the roof and back wall off for now it makes installing the cab much easier but when the time comes they take m3x12

it takes some glue and 6x2 magnets but pretty straight forward 2mm rod for the hinge again the front m4 hole doesn't line up with stuff underneath so just leave it empty

pull off the bumper it make it easier to slide the hood in then reinstall bumper push the hood up againstthe bumper and tighten the 3 m4 bolts down

now take 2 m3x30 bolts and run them into the bottom of the bumper this helps hold everything in place

cab goes against the back of the hood m4 bolts are on the floorboards then add the roof and back wall

wire it up based on your receiver if you are using the same motor as me you will need an extension lead to connect to the battery tray under the hood and i ended up needing a servo wire extension. the headache rack need the lights glued in and bolts m4 with t slot nuts to mount it and m3x12 for the back cover (i forgot to get a picture of that.)

extra thanks to black crow for allowing the use of this
