Default sw2 and axial

My sw2 running the axial gear

i went with the sw2 since there are no sw3's right now... but im planning on picking up a gc-01 by the ECC

anyways here are a few pics and info


axles: axial
trans: axial
tires: Masher M3s / Pro Line Badlands
wheels: mayhem eng (when they arrive)
battery: 7 cell saddle pack from MaxMap
motor: simple 45 turn
esc: rooster crawler with a castle bec
servo: hitec 5595
dig servo: hitec 225MG (to work with the VF system)
dig: VF System (also when it arrives)
shocks: traxxas with yellow losi fronts 30wt, traxxas red on right 30wt, traxxas black left rear 75wt
body: pro line rockstar

the only thing i dont have any idea about is the radio gear open for any ideas

i cut my own skid plate, narrowed the chassis by about 1/4'' (may change that if the VF dig won't fit....

im also going to run my own lockers i milled down, they have zero hours of test time so we shall see

i ground down the drive cups today. very simple and easy mod to get a little more steering out of the axle

i taped them up to be sure to stay straight



finished


i ground them down enough to where my tires that iv got on it now are hitting the links (proline 8 holes and m2ks)

and at full lock the knuckle are hitting the screw for the axle C

so i figured that was plenty until i got a new set of alum. knuckles and C's

i installed a traxxas receiver to test is out and to set the servo...

it was pretty good. i was impressed for shop crawling...didnt have a chance to go outside its been raining here for a week now and everything is sloppy/muddy

so maybe by the time my other items get here it will be dry
