I may have missed it but I noticed in the comp vid, the tires look full width. Did it work as well as with the narrowed versions and why did you switch? After getting a Berg I never thought I'd buy another chassis for the Axial... but all this SSS testing has me REALLY wanting to try one out. Great marketing strategy!  |

Don, when these kits are ready to ship who will have them so we can all get in line! I got my Mantis at RCHQ, they'll have them I assume, anyone else? Will you be shipping black & white chassis in the first batch? I have a feeling you're going to sell a lot of these... |

We are working on final revisions as I type. This is a special kind of chassis and can't be rushed out as everything has to be just right in order for it to be user friendly enough for a production run I promise I will personally make sure to post in multiple locations when these guys go out. Any local shop can get a hold of our products and that will be no different for these...so don't be afraid to ask the LHS about them too...once they go out that is  |

Yes. When I played paintball we dyed some of our delrin parts just using Rit dye a big pot you never want to see again and some hot water. (not too hot you don't want to warp anything). | |

Yup, I'm in the process of dying lots of parts for this rebuild...code named project "Inferno" for the new DNA R/C Garage webpage Dollar General el cheapo pots are perfect...or garage sale specials!

Hey Don, Could you post some detailed pics of the BTA setup you're running? I am looking to do the same thing and was trying to figure out servo placement and if I need to cut the tray or not. Thanks, Tim |

Here's pics of before...the new mount works without being cut tho. I just can't take more pics cuz all my parts are in process of getting color and thus not mounted together to make a complete rig at this point in time |

I must have an old style plate then because there is no way the servo is going to work in a BTA setup without cutting something. Currently it would only allow about half of the servo's motion.
