I already have the aluminum 3Racing drive shafts. They are pretty beefy.

Finally!!!

I got my link kit, rebuild kit, extra bent links, 5645 servo, and my 3Racing upper 3-link mounts. Looks like tonight I will have some fun. This is going to be a long day at work.


EDIT: actually, after waiting for 3 weeks for my link kit, I opened the package to find out that my tie rod was missing. So, I called the vendor out of Beijing and he made it right by sending me the extra bent links for free. (good thing I already bought the 3Racing steering assembly.)

This setup should hold me over for another month until my 4 link plates arrive, along with my HH 45T Handwound TM Pro motor and BR-XL ESC. Also, next week, probably going to be ordering a Spektrum DX3E.

Not my wallet. My wife made the mistake of giving me a credit card linked to her bank account!

So, needless to say, that is the card I linked to my paypal account. Hahaha!

Ya bro... We just went to the 'Con last weekend.. I still have my Yota. It's doing good. It's aging well haha.

I had a scratchbuilt 2.2 crawler, but I sold it. Wish I wouldn't have.. I built it before any of this stuff came out. It's easy to build a crawler now. (way cheaper too). Pm me your email, and I'll send you a couple pics of it..

I think I'm going to get another one going... I want to get an Axial. I want some thing I won't be afraid of using, ya know????


Glad to see you here. You ever come stateside to visit?

Good call on the Axial. There is so much aftermarket support that you cant go wrong. I just bought mine about 3 weeks ago, and I have been able to build it to "almost" respectable. From what I have seen, a good 700 dollars will get you something really good.

Stateside...I normally come back every April to do some wheeling and hang with friends and family, but this year, I had my first baby. It is a girl, and she is now 5 months old. So, I probably wont be coming back this year. Next year for sure.

Default It's ALIVE!!!!

Well, after 2.5 weeks of couch crawling waiting for some proper parts, I have taken my new toy out on the rocks for some REAL testing. First things I want to say are:

1. Rock Lizzards BLOW
2. BTA steering is a MUST
3. Side-hilling on loose stuff....SUCKS
4. My motor needs to go

Here are some pics. Overall, I am pretty happy with her.

Well, I know that I need BTA steering...also, need to get a little weight in my wheels. When my motor and ESC show up, along with my DX3E radio, I should be good to go. Control is the key here.

As for tires, I got a contact in Beijing who has some Prolines pretty cheap. He only sells the Hammers. I am trying to get the Chisels. Those look pretty bad ass!

I love that my links are different colors. The rig just gets set off that way really well. Anyway, the links will get covered with plastic pen material so you wont even see them.

It did work pretty well though.

You will have to use different color pens than to keep it rolling.
