I love those fuel lines. I gotta know what you made them out of. I've enjoyed your build/essay/photo journal . It really came together fast at the end, great job! Shows you really, know what you're doing, I would have got hung up in 12 spots and got delayed even with all the parts in front of me. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see where it evolves from here, sub'd for sure

Thanks for the kind words.

The Alum tubing is found at K&S #1108 is part#. 3/32x.14 alum tube.
Be very gentle bending it..it will kink and break open as its thin walled.

Back from Axialfest 2015!!
Woo hoo!!

Just shy of...700 drivers!!
Axials 10 year anniversary and making RC history!!

The mattzilla rig did all stages A-F..600 trail markers in 1 day.
Zero issues...
No overheating..no breaks or failures.
1 2200mah battery every 100 gates or so.

If the sway bar was actually functioning i feel it would have been a much more enjoyable 600 gates. As it was not hooked up the rear had waaay to much twist. I really had to watch my line and get a tow in some spots.
Other than that i loved it and so did others.

I have to thank Lue at mattzilla for the chassis.
Vanquish for the axles and wheels and other goods. #Scalebling
Freqeskinz for the skinz.
Crawler innovations for the foams.
HolmesHobbies for the motor/servo.
Venom designs and Falvey designs for the 3d printed parts.
Kbess eng for the limit straps.


This build has been a journey in itself..coupled with the journey to axialfest..
AMAZING!!

Met alot of people,hungout with some cool cats and pitbulls..wheeled with a TREE..Americanized an Austrian..(he'll never be the same..lol)

THANKS TO ALL INVOLVED!
It all came together and BAM..the goal was set and reached..
600 trail markers done!
No issues.

Pics coming up!
