no one has actually seen my rig run in it's current set up, so who knows really, but the loaner rig is nice ;)

and the 2 minutes it ran the other sunday before it ripped the front tranny output in two doesn't really count ;)

Damn good thing I pulled my axles apart. :shock: Broken CVD :-(

















But I have a spare. "thumbsup"

[Paul Wynn]

Just finished my axial rig with the ckrc stage 2 kit:), but the damn brushless motor doesn't fit....:roll::shock::-(

Back at it tomorrow I guess....

[Scattman]

Starting on the 2nd axle. I love waiting to the last minute to work on my junk. :lol:

[Lushtrucker]

just mounted up some 1.9's for a rig, will leave the 2.2's on the yota for now. if I get my rig back today I will have to replace the front tranny output, if not I will have to get the loaner rig put back together.

it will be a fun day, considering I am still at work, most likely for another 3.5 hours, then an hour drive home to shower and meet family for lunch, woohoo :/

[fishnstash]

Cocked , Locked and ready to crawl rocks ! "thumbsup"

[FloridaRocks]

good point, I was still half asleep when I typed that ;)

good thing I work nights, sleep deprivation from the previous few days plus being in the sun all day sunday lead to me passing out in the recliner around midnight, waking up at 05:45, feeding the dogs and going to bed and sleeping another 10 hours ;)
