Default VF+Ti BlackJack = new comp rig (pics inside)
Just thought I'd post up one of our comp rigs that we tested yesterday in a super high traction local crawl spot. On to the details.

Titanium BlackJack...thanks Ken
Stainless bent links...for now
Axial Axles with all the RCP tough axle goodies
Losi buggy front shocks setup with 80 weight oil and sprung
Losi Rock Claws filled with Aces
Novak Goat system (can you say wheel speed )
Proline RockStar body
TCS Upper link and servo mounts
Axial trans with our VF Dig unit
New VF Stalkers
KO 4 channel radio (3 channels for this rig, will be using all 4 on the next rig)
Hitec 645MG for steering (soon to be upgraded)
Hitec 225MG for dig

On to the pics...I'll be adding some body off shots and vids of the dig in action to this thread in the next couple of days.

Is there anything different about the "NEW Stalkers"?

Rig looks sick. I bet it performs amazingly!

The new stalkers have thinner webbing in the spokes from the original. It performs very well indeed!

Thanks!

Just so you know, heating and oxidizing Ti makes it a lot more brittle. No clue if it would be a noticeable difference, just thought I'd warn you. It does look cool though.

The hard anodized parts came in a few days ago and did not pass internal QC. They have assured us we will have them by Tuesday and Digs will start going out. Sorry for the delay but we cant have faulty parts floating around.
