It crawls pretty good. Im suprised how well the stock chassis works.

It looks like it sits fairly low. Is the body lowered or does the chassis actually sit that way? I like that low look with the old school body. |

I love this body with the "bubble-eye" lights cut off. Bravo. I love the slammmed low-boy look. Nice dovetail too, did you take off any length? The first body I had on my Axial Kit was from an MRC hammerhead, much like the Parma 34 ford truck. I only wish I could come up with a cut that makes the hood look better (without removing the hood sides completely) and clear the shocks. This is one solid rig. Nice work. |

The rig looks good I like how your body is slammed down. The one thing I did noticed is that your steering servo is weak compared to what most people are running in competition crawlers. It's fine for a trail rig if thats what you do but for competition you should invest in a stronger servo you've already got a good list of equipment there except for that .

I like the FlatIrons. From what ive see they are as good as the Hammers. I like the sharp edge on them, they look more scale than some other tires ive seen. Im running the M3 compound with memory foams. I love the sticky compound. Great tires.
