| The driveshafts are just plastic, but with a fancy dancy carbon fiber sticker!! I have a few ideas for paint, but nothing concrete yet. Thanx for the compliments everyone. |

I started with a rc10gt transmission, and modified it with a 62 pyro spool, then I shortened the stock input shaft and drilled a hole to accept the output yoke.

| Well they aren't anything too extravagant. I just took the plastic caps off the top of spray bottles, ex. hairspray, leather cleaner. Then I cut them down to the diameter I needed, drilled holes for led holders and painted the bucket with chrome and flat black. They are secured with household goop.

holy broken axles batman!!!!! looks like you got more than enough power under the hood, 3025? nice. no such thing as overkill......you might wanna run a 50 tooth pinion, or run 22.2 volts, seeing as how the b3/gt2? tranny more than doubles your reduction from the r2,on 2.2 wheels it must creep.

| Frame is finished!
Well after all this time the fabwork on the frame is finished!! I will never build a frame so labour intensive again! Tons of cussing, burnt and raw fingers, and even some blood and sweat have gone into this frame. Thanx for following along so far. Some cool things to still come so hope you all stay with me. |
