Attaboy! When you get the housings, post up pics on the process of installing them, or video would be killer too. I think I subscribed to the thread, but haven't seen any of them up and running or installed. I'll snoop around.

I know this is pissin me off!! The only thing that it says on the tracking # is that it is delayed due to the Canadian Post union disputs! But I read that they went back to work on monday and I want my axles!!!!!! If they are still north of the boarder I wont be able to drive this weekend so frustrated right now... oh and to top it off I payed for express shipping (they have already been delayed a week!) And will I see that money returned??? NO!!!!

Ok good news, good news, and sexyness!!!!


First off... my MetalHead Axles have finally crossed the boarder and getting closer every minute Hopefully I can have my hands on them before sunday so I can join my buddies!

Second.... After at least a month of puttin it off I finally tore into the 7950 and converted it to a winch. I used a No-Drift controller from HeyOk (vendor on here), a WarPig Spool from Team3Six along with his winch line, and a KingKong hook to top it off. Oh and I waterproofed it and my steering servo with PlastiDip in the spray can.... SIMPLE!





And lastly.... the sexy....



Who knew that conforming to the rules would look SOOO good
I had to switch tires due to the local comp group... they had the Pitbulls on the ban list.....

Nice choice on the spool, looks like you have enough clearance for it? Is that the 1"? Tim made me a custom smaller diameter one for my EB, still have to pick it up from him.

Yeah it's 1", barely fits!! I had to use spacers to jack up the servo so my panhard bar didnt hit it. It amazes how tight everything in the front end is yet still enough clearance to not hinder anything!
