|  Black Jack From Across The Pond
Well this is my attempt at a Black Jack and probably the truck I will be running at the UK nats this year. I'm running ax10 axles with all the RCP goodies, R2D, 5T Cobalt and lots of other good stuff. I also had a go at making my own M3 masher moab hybrids and I think they've turned out pretty well.  Good balance??  With the body.  Around the back.  So guys what do you think?? |

So I got a little bored of this crawler so I sent the chassis plates away to a mate that redesigned them and had them cut out of 2mm stainless steel. I also got him to make a couple new top link mount so I can retain 4 link and mount a LiPo up front. I've mounted the dig servo over the rear using a standard ax10 servo mount. This lowers the linkage angel which should make shifting a lot smoother. I also got the servo mount bolted up to the front axles and chopped up my axial rat rod body. I've two chassis now I just need another set of axles . Chassis with all the bits bolted up.  Andy did a great job on this.  It really pains me to buy a body and then cut half of it off :( .  |
