Nice work, love the color choices. Can you lower the body any more? |

| Thank you fellas I left the body up there because I was thinking of setting down as a droop and any lower the batts would hit the hood when drooped. I took it out today with Erin to Gates Pass here in Tucson and It great out of the box!! Now just a few tweaks and this thing is dialed. The next thing to do is lower the ride height to about 2 3/4" right now it a 3 11/16", too high.. Thank again guys, coming from you means alot!! |

Nice job. Like it all. Clean and simple. Finished the roilling chassis last night. No elec yet. Should be arriving this week. Now waiting for the paint on the stock B17 body to dry. One color. Nothing fancy. I have an Idea for an unusual body. Will paint one up and post pic's when it is done. Right know just want to get it out and play. |

The Losi Rock CLaws are directional, kinda like the cheveron pattern on the Mashers. When the mashers are reversed so when rotating the cheveron pattern will "pull" to the center allowing more "grip" on the rocks. Well the losi's aren't the closed cheveron the mashers are and aren't as pronounced as the mashers but the logic is the same. And according to what I saw today on the monolithic rock I was on, they WORK!! Now, I will reverse them to see if there really isn't any difference. The Losi Claws do HOOK UP!!(full uncut foams) | |

Yes, those losi's do hook up, especially after you run them for awhile. At first, I was thinking, well they work, but whats the big deal?? Awhile later, after some climbs that surprised me, I was a believer. Good to see the Axe working today. After you get that thing out of the clouds, it will be a low mean grip machine. |

Erin is very right, this guy pulled off some very amazing climbs today. Those lines were sick, Erin. I am going to play hookie tomorrow and put some fuel tubing inside the OEM Shocks and do a little tuning on them to bring him down to earth a little. Hey Erin, Did ya get those pics uploaded yet?? |

PM me your email and I will send you some, got some good ones of your rig. Your rig would have made the same lines, just needs a little more tuning, but I was impressed with it basically out of the box. |

I hope your batteries work for you. I used Duracells and they got a hole in them from recharging. I think I got them to hot a couple of times. I only charged them about 5 or 6 times.
