Need some detailed pics of a WWS Pro 1:18

I've got an almost ready deal to buy one of these at a really good price. Unfortunately I haven't been able to see close-up, detailed pictures of how this car goes together yet, which is something I'd like to see before I commit funds.

I know a couple of you own these cars, so would you step up and give me some detailed pics of the front/rear suspension, motor mount, servo mounted to the steering.

I also need to know about what the components are made of. I know the shocks are Aluminum and the upper/lower chassis plates are fiberglass, but I cannot tell what the rest is made of from the pics I've been able to find.

Wheel size: As this is a 1:18th scale, do these wheels come reasonably close to the diameter of the MRS4 or M18? I've got plenty of TRC foam donuts laying around -- be nice to use them.

Thanks guys, these are the best yet that I've seen (though I've seen a couple of them before). I particularly like the closeup of the front control arms!

So other than the shocks which are obviously AL and the fiberglass chassis plates, what's the rest made out of? Some of it looks like plastic, but some of the other looks like black AL. Can't quite tell.

So, can someone tell me just how a servo attaches to the rather complex looking steering?

What the heck is "Dural" ?

Ok, I found some references to "Dural (r)" as an alloy of Aluminum, Copper, and Magnesium. This makes sense as parts made out of aluminum are really an aluminum alloy (AL is much too soft by itself).

So, this likely explains the shocks -- which in fact look like aluminum. What about the rest of the components? Akura2: You've got one of these...
