I'm hoping to have the "prototype testers" available for sale early next week. They should be about $20 or low $20's for the two plates. Just remember these are prototypes made out of delrin and therefore won't stand up to harsh abuse. Full production metal plates will be produced once testing is finished on these.

This rigs is pretty much completely designed around the Axial kit, but of course can be used with any axles. As far as testing aspects, I think those will come up as everyone gets them assembled and running. If there were any things that we were really "worried" about we already adjusted for them. | |

| With all the stock stuff it is at 11" and is adjustable to 12.5" (still using only the stock stuff). There are 13 different possible wheel base lengths, adjusted in roughly 1/8th" intervals. Once the Mud Slingers come in I will lower the ride height for a more scale look with the clod body. Last edited by Harley; 09-06-2007 at 09:05 PM. |

clod looks good...do you have an FJ hardbody lying around you cold slap on there...Axial seems to have got the width for the axles perfect...this might be the future of a lot of scale builds...well mine at least...my scorpion will be here at noon!$%#&*@!

Sweet, looks great under the Clod body. The width looks good for a scaler. |

The width is slightly wider then a TLT but it will make up for it in scale appearance and turning radius in no time! | |

The Mud Slingers came in today. I went to the hobby shop and all they had were the vintage 5 spoke wheels, so I picked those up for now. I took the rubber spacers off of the shocks for now to lower the ride height. I have some really crappy lighting at my apartment, I will take some outside tomorrow. I setup the Clod body a little more, I am going to use it for sure. |

Looks good guys. This is exactly what I need for my AX-10. I'll be more than happy to be a tester.
