Yes, decided to run them instead, ive tried every shock on the planet over the years and always come back to the Traxxas BB's w/mini t's.
They are the best in my book!

95% finished

Pic of tcase orientation. Also the SDI shaft assembly and some almost finished pics.
I took this rig along with my Bomber down to St George Ut this weekend and had a awesome time. I ran 9 C2 courses from mild to very technical and I must say this rig is very stable and capable. One noticeable difference was the front axle spinning slightly faster than the rear. What a huge difference forthe Losi axles. It helped pull some lines and sidehills that otherwise I don't think would have been possible with a standard ring and Pinion axle setup.

I've ran my other SCX10 axled rigs for years with over/under gears and not had this much improvement.

It's just a 1/8 dimple die set off ebay. There are several ways to utilize them. Pliers, vice, small press etc...

Updating a few things needed. Added a scale HPI interior. Also added some RC4WD diamond plate to the cab sides where the body mounts for strength. Also added inner fenders.

Last thing added was some running lights!

Hoping to have it complete and out crawling this weekend or next!


















Also trying just for kicks some new rubber (1.9 Fuel Grippers) and home brew foams. This seems to be about the perfect size tire for this rig as well as the OG Rock Beasts.





Ill add some completed pics in a day or 2

I really like the look of this wheel tire combo. These tires feel really good with my foams. Should work great on the Sandstone here.

This thing looks soooooo mean! Only thing I would do is shave down a tad bit of the front fenders. I think they are just a little wide. Other than that this thing is ACES
