MX kid, are you looking for glue on or beadlock? For inexpensive glue ons I have ran both of these and they hold up well https://dluxfab.ecwid.com/DLUX-2-2-wheels-p8433871 https://www.rpphobby.com/product_p/cwr-5003.htm I'm not sure who makes beadlocks anymore. |

You might want to try onshape, it is free and accessible from any computer. The free version will share designs with the public. It is easy to use similar to solidworks. The paid for version is very reasonable and will allow you to keep designs private. | |

Great thank you for the info. Question about the Ibex tires. I just received some, but couldn't find the CI 5.5 dual stage soft outer foams anywhere in stock. I got some proline 2.2 dual stages instead but didn't realize they are only for their XL size 2.2 tires so they're too big. I did find the 5.25 CI foams but not the 5.5, am I just waiting till they come back in stock? | |

| Re: High Altitude 2.2 Shepard comp rig I found the 5.25 comp cut softs so I ordered them hopefully they aren’t too soft. Weight of the truck is 4lb 7 oz without a battery.

Great work! I'm very interested in these new rigs coming up with the capra axles! Did you design the rodends or are they available online for download? It looks great! Quote:

| Re: High Altitude 2.2 Shepard comp rig I honestly don't remember, I've had the models for over 5 years and don't remember where I got them from.

Made some progress on the new trans. 4mm CF plates, Axial XR & 10.2 gears with custom shafts with room to fit Traxxas maxx shafts. The first trans is going in a High Altitude Enigma shafty build. Waiting on the new Capra skid and trans cases from Shapeways before I throw it under my Shepard. 2021-01-02 21.31.50 by Casey Childs, on Flickr 2020-12-30 22.08.53 by Casey Childs, on Flickr 2020-12-30 22.08.52 by Casey Childs, on Flickr 2021-01-02 21.47.14 by Casey Childs, on Flickr |

Thinking about ordering another capra kit and the Shepard chassis. Do you have a flat skid available for a axial 3 gear trans?

Any links to skids that would work? I've been here since rhe tlt/ bender customs days , but want to build a modern comp truck. Built a capra kit and love it. I've been searching, but finding the custom stuff is hard.

| Re: High Altitude 2.2 Shepard comp rig I would look into the UCFab Capra flat skid. Delrin skid and carbon fiber side plates is the way to go.

| Re: High Altitude 2.2 Shepard comp rig Just a heads up, finally got to install the UCFab 3 gear skid in my shepard chassis and the drive shafts hit the electronics plates. Kinda bummed because all carbon fiber looks so together. I don't see a clean way to move the plates up, so I guess I'll take the trans and skid off the capra and swap them.
