I just got an edge Chassis that I bought off of here and I am really liking the looks of it and how everything is going. I will post some pictures up here in a little bit after the paint dries on the chassis.

I will be running:
TCS EDGE chassis
Axial Trans
Axial Axles
Holmes Hobbies 7T Puller Motor
CC Sidewinder
CC BEC
HB Rovers
Unsure what the rims are maybe you guys can tell me once i post pictures.

Here is the pictures. I still gotta get the wiring all cleaned up but it is done other than that. I am gonna make a new servo/ battery mount for the front so I can move my battery from above the tranny. If the weather is nice tomorrow I am gonna try and get some action shots of it. If not I will get to the LHS on Wednesday to get some action shots of it. Let me know what you guys think or any suggestions that you have.

Looks good. I really enjoyed mine. It seemed to benefit from heavy shock oil, and lottsa weight in the tires. Keep a pack of link ends with you when you run it. Because of the weight of the rig, mine would break them all the time, when it took a tumble. No biggie though, it's a quick fix. Enjoy it!

thanks.

how heavy would you recommend running it? I have 60wt oil in them now with springs above and below the piston.(I guess it is a semi-droop?) But I need to change the springs around. Just from playing around the house I can tell that the springs I used are to stiff it wants to roll over before it even gets close t full articulation.

I think I was using 70wt up front, with 50wt in rear. I had the same spring setup too. Pen springs under, and internal springs, cut in half, on top of the piston. The internal springs came with the 3Racing shocks that I bought. At $40, I am very pleased with them. I had 6oz. in each front wheel, with 3oz. in each rear. I was also running saddle packs at the time, so it had more weight up front. Make sure you have your wheels vented too. Check out what Irok has done with his. It was badass: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...87#post1807587 Post some pics of yours, in that section too.
