That's ten pounds of shizzle in a five pound bag! Holy crap those tolerances are tight. Nice work. I think I'll keep my servo on the axle and just watch yours!!! |

| If I were you...just google image search or fire up the youtube and see if something strikes your fancy. If it were me, I would do silver tube, a black body and red and silver graphics/writing/sponsor stickers.

Thanks! I dont recal the length of the shafts... it was the longest shaft available from them. I believe there were 3 options for sizes. and yes they are the same size front and rear. | |

so basically the one single issue i think i couldve had on the first run out happened... i ripped off the upper link truss completely off the front axle and half way off the rear axle. Not after rollin down a hella steep hill 35 feet end over end over end, then getting the hell beat out of it for another 2 hours! so to solve my delema I just ordered a set of the sexy axles from GCM Racing (Generis MetalHead). So now that axles breakage is not an issue I cant wait to see what else I can break..... But to be honest with how big a beast this whole truck is I cant think of what could break I'm runnin out of things to upgrade hahahaha |
