What a cool concept. Tubework looks great. I'm curious what the weight bias is like, pretty rear heavy?

| Most weight is actually toward the front since both axles are pushed back and the bumper and stinger are solid rod up front - all the structure in the rear are tubes.

Still waiting for powder so I slapped it together to do a bit of tuning/testing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pDgOs5L1X4 |

Hmmm - after slow rolling for 2 hours one of the front shaft pins already mangled! Ordered "HD" shaft set and did a temporary fix with some drill rod but man super disappointed in these T-Rex's. As you can see from my video I drive SLOW..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pDgOs5L1X4 *staring at spare Losi axles* .... |

Looks like you're not done brazing since you have to make spring perches for the captured springs you're going to install....... ;) Cage looks fantastic! Where's the portals?

| Haha. I knew someone would mention captured springs. I initially considered them but chickened out and took a more familiar route |

Yeah... been watching the R1 section to see how people are getting along with those axles and part support. May be a better alternative than the Losi ones because Im trying to increase run time. | |
