Chica and Chavez get a ride!

So I got tired of the molded in driver on the deadbolt so...

I cut him out and replaced him with a 6 inch figure.
I added one to the passenger seat too. I got them both at a local $5 and under store.
They are some of those wrestling figures. They fit perfect.

Chavez and Chica (at least that's the names they use now!) have themselves a nice off-roader to take them on all sorts of adventures. You see, Chavez and Chica are in the import/export transportation business. They move "Items" through less conventional methods usually avoiding customs, inspections, bills of lading and other such "Official Channels". This new vehicle will certainly be handy.





After I cut the original driver out I cut a small piece of lexan I had laying around and painted it black to fill in the hole left by the original driver. The steering wheel was one of the extra pieces that came with the Deadbolt.

Chassis Servo Mount w/Panhard Bar

I installed a Chassis Mounted Servo and Panhard Rod kit.

No instructions but that's ok. It's not to terribly hard to figure out.
I had to disassemble mine and change some things around to get it to work on my SCX10 Deadbolt.
But they give you all sorts of spacers and bolts to set it up the way you need it.
Installing it is sort of strange. It just slides in between the frame rails (you need to remove the bumper/cross members).
I used a couple of zip ties to lock it into place.

It looks great and works very well. Just pay attention and put your steering rod on the same side as where the panhard rod connects to the axle.
