Thanks guys, got to drive it for a solid half hour yesterday before it got any damage. The battery decided to die in the middle of climbing down a rock so it free rolled the rest of the way did a couple barrel rolls before it landed back on the tires. Nothing major though, just a few dings in the paint.

Those pics are great. Outstanding work.

Sorry to hear about the tumble, glad it was only the paint that got damaged.

Thanks, so far the thing wheels WAY better than I thought it would

Anyone notice anything wrong with this picture?

Apparently the small one has the same issues as the full size, they like to spit out drivelines

Had a great time wheeling today, even after I broke the 1:1.

Awesome pics and great job on the rig.
On a side note, Novak ain't what it used to be.
I'll leave it at that.

I took the stainless sleeve from a ballpoint pen and cut it in half at a 45, then just silver soldered some 1/4 brake line to it The hanger is a thin piece of brass soldered to the brake line. I will get it cleaned up and take a better picture for you, been playing in the mud
