So I have been collecting parts for this for awhile. Been looking for the right time to build it up. I took some vacation time from work today. Wife is in Arizona with her dad and daughter is at school. So with the house to myself I started mocking it up.

Nice start, I have been thinking about going with the Vanquish 8 Deg C's and knuckles myself, I'm interested to hear what you think about them.

I don't even know what type of weight that I will be shooting for. There will some Jenny Craig diet on this. I'm not going to use all of that knuckle weight but have options. |

Took some weight measurements of the stock side plates, and servo mount.  I had time to cut out new side plates and servo mount out of 2mm carbon fiber.  So I lost 8 oz. of weight so far.  |

I ripped apart the front axle to replace the case and install the over drive gears. Found out that the front axle had regular beef tubes and a spool.  I fried 4 drill bits trying to open up the hole to make the 300m CVD's fit. Come to find out a grinding stone in the dremel did it quicker and didn't heat up the gear. Front axle is done with new carbon fiber servo mount install. Next is the rear axle.  |

The mailman has brought me a few goodies. I got in 4 aluminum scx-10 shocks and these sweet Limited Edition Light Weight Stainless Steel Lockers from Grib-Fab.  Also have some Titanium shafts coming in for the ax-10 transmission. |

I used a 2x4 to raise my work area so I could get to good teeth on the blade. The blades were too small for the scroll saw I have but I made them work. | |
