Thanks.

I just folded it along the body line. You almost have to crease the body first, then bend it back a little, for it to stay in place.

Second, the slipper clutch...I didn't know that was out there and I'm curious to see how well it works. And third I love the new red aluminum! I need all that stuff in blue so when and where can I get it from? The rig looks great and I bet it'll be hard to beat in Comps. Also, I'm diggin the wheels!
The official release will be up on the main page in the next few days I am sure, for now you can go here: http://radiocontrolzone.com/showthread.php?t=247107

It will be another few weeks before they start hitting shops.

Thanks,
Axial

I appreciate the thread link! I foresee spending a lot of money in the next few weeks to convert everything to blue. I' digging the other color choices as well, especially the orange! Nice job guys, it's nice to have a variety of choices for colors, it helps set the rig off.

Would you guys like to retract these statements? :-P

On a serious note, I managed to pull off a win with this rig today at the Finish Line Bunny Bash comp. It is working awesome right now, and will only get better when the VF dig is installed.

A few pics from today thanks to slugz.

Thanks.

I don't have any more pics on hand, but I can take some. I moved the servo back behind the servo posts, and modded one of the new Axial red anodized lower links to work as my drag link. I'll try and get a few more pics posted later tonight.

Thanks. I think it would help me get some of my weight lower. I trimmed the stock plate holders to where the plate sits on the pumpkin but I still really dont like it. Im used to my WK where my servo set to the side. Plus it seems like it would give you some other options for link mounting and batter placement.

Pretty sure Kris on here still makes full length skids for whatever... I need to hook up with him to make me a new one when my AX-10 trans gets here.



By the way Kris is his screen name also.

I am on the phone with him right now and he is fixing to make a new batch when he gets back from Vegas.
