In my case, the "problem" isn't just the ESC or power switch locations...it's also the Rx location. I'm still trying to decide between a 4-channel (R304SB) & 6-channel (R2006GS), as I've already got 2 (maybe 3) LED channels planned - lightbar & headlights are definite, small front grill-mounted lightbar is a possibility. If I decide on just two lighting channels, I can stick with the 4-channel Rx...but, if I decide to add that grill-mounted lightbar, then I'd need to switch to the 6-channel (with dual antenna). ~ More peace, love, laughter, & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place | |

I printed a little mount that screwed to the cage with a stock screw and allowed me to use servo tape to stick the switch there. That'll do for now until I tear into it and put the switch in the interior. After a lot of typing here is my finished rig! Although I kinda gave it away in the previous post about the wheel weights and didn't even realize it until now. The build was fun and pretty easy. I think there was a lot of good thoughts put into this rig. Now I can't wait to see how it performs out on the trail. I did a little detail work on the fuel cell. Fuell cells should be red and this one is similar to my Bomber's. Just a little bit of detail. I was pretty happy with my two-tone paint job until I started posting photos online. Then I realized my mask job wasn't as good as I initially thought. Oh well. Still better than most of my paint jobs lately. I like the stance with the limiters. |

Looking good Tim! Fuel cell came out clean. Looking forward to hearing about your hands on wheel time experiences.

My paint scheme is very similar except that it's red and white.

Looks good Jato! I think the ride height looks good with the 5mm spacers that you used. I'm liking how the Rockbeast XL's look on there with them wheels. I think my unused XL's will finally have a home on my future Capra! Can't wait to hear how she does out on the rocks! |

The original Wild Boar driveshafts were 2 piece, the issue we had was the bore size needed in the male side to install an M3 screw didn't allow for that much material between it and the spline. The male shaft would twist pretty easily on those. When we went to this floating male center section we were able to get the needed material to prevent them from twisting. Of course that was all prior to working with the new vendor and their materials, it may be possible to go back to a 2 piece and have it work, or we just keep the stronger design and it becomes even stronger in the new materials? One nice thing about the 3 piece design is that you have a lot more choices in combinations of the different lengths we offer to accommodate a lot of custom builds. Great build thread Jato, lots of good info and things for us to take a second look at. | |

Thank you for the kind words. I haven't test it yet, but judging from the build you did a great job on this rig! And I'm anxious to see what new vehicle is up next... *cough*SCX10 III *cough* | ||||

| Re: Jato The GOAT Thanks! I just clicked the link in your signature - awesome work on the tire finder! Sure. I plan on trying other brands. I'm not really a Toyota fan unless it is the older stuff. The FJ is a great idea! I'll design one up. |

3D printed clear is more like translucent which is scale for aged and fogged headlight housings. LOL I pulled the stock lenses out of the stock grille, but they're only held in by two spindly ass pegs. | |
