Just finished the build but I had to turn the differentials for good result (crown wheels NOT on drivers side). Great build!
(BTW are those door styles pythagorean?)
I Love it! Love black too, good lines! Much functionality to play with. :) I'm not shure if I spotted an ancient U-joint. (and is this common? I'm fairly new here but still own some of those joints, they are strong)
First of all: this is my first post so excuse me and point me out if I'm doing something wrong.
To fix the front blade problem you can move the blue pin of the locking mechanism one hole up and add a bluish grey 1x1 ring to it, which was amongst my spares. I presume every 42053 has the same spares.
