Lister Storm Final Preparation

Below is what I do as final preparation before putting the car on the track.  
I hot-glue the rear axle bushings and drive-shaft bushing into place. Some people use Ca glue but I prefer HG because it is very easy to remove. 
   
Another shot of the rear area of the car. The hot-glue is more noticeable in this picture.
   
I also hot-glue the motor mounts into place. Make sure to do the front and rear mounts. Lastly make sure you oil the all the bushings and the motor with synthetic oil a small drop on each bushing and both ends of the motor shaft will do. Then add a small drop on the front axles. I also add some white Lithium to the crown and pinion, this reduces crown ware.
   
This is a shot of the finished chassis, the magnet stands out now! Now you can do the normal stuff like racing the hell out of them!
NOTE: The rear wing and mirrors on the Listers is VERY fragile you might want to remove them and stash away before racing them.
The End!

I would like to thank Al Penrose (BWA) and all the users on the HRW forums. Without these resources to draw from I would not be able to provide these articles.
