What no dremel... that's like about as handy and needed as hex-drivers on a crawler! I can't imagine living without mine, then again I can't imagine living without CNC

I personally love the wrap-under skids, but that's because I have had that little strip of aluminum hang up all the time on the rocks and it isn't my idea of a good time crawling. Plus it helps protect the edge of your chassis if it is something like carbon fiber, the splinters from it are nasty

No its CNC machining [joking!] I love to see what people will do to neaten things up and so on when they are on a budget, minus zip-ties and duct tape!

Looks good, the Sedonas are WICKED on grip, I love how well they grip on the rocks by me.

Using Sky Lipos from Hobbypartz?

Looking good-always love going through the parts and making something work along with some simple fabricating. Not sure I could do that skid by hand-I have a habit of cutting til I see red...

Ive had good results so far with my 800 MAh 3S 30C packs. Considering they can power the car through a bind I am amazed

Heheh that stuff is actually really nice, its just a pain to get at your wires when you need to sometimes
