No it's under the driver side so inhale quick easy access to the esc port for tuning without having to take it apart. Just pull the driver side panel off. I think there room where the stock esc was but I had already wired this system from the yeti and the wiring was very short for a clean install in it and didn't want to redo. There's still a ton of room under there

Maybe.

I already have the lower links taken care of so I just need front and rear upper links.

Ready for those trailing arms and wbhd collars. Sent the mips back to test your theory.

Thanks for the info I will have to do the same.

Christmas come early.
Gonna remove ribbing from this set of never mounted KR2 tires and see how they do crawling, 2 speed trans kit, and a bomber decal sheet to dress up the raw aluminum panels.

Also mounted up a set of unmodified KR2 with Deuces Wild foams and our licensed Method Mesh wheels we used to make for speed and track play.
Now I'll have a dedicated crawler set with the R35 Krawlers until the R35 KR2 are released, a set for track and speed, and a set for seeking best performance from the stock tire with modifications.

[CarterFab]

Man these tires are really soft now. Looking forward to doing some testing with them modified. Gonna be able to compare all three tires and see how the modified KR2 s30 do against stock ones and R35 Krawlers.

This rig is looking damn good! Subscribed.

Nice work Clay. Keep it up brother.

would look great with a set of Hutchinsons
probly have to wait for the kit normal bead version of those tires though.

Yeah won't be mounting any S30 KR2 on internal
Beadlock wheels. I'll have a set of the R35 as soon as Axial receives them

Link to vendor thread on panels.

Product labels showed up today and picked up samples to proof on panels and will have product in house for forming and fit next week. All preorders should ship end of next week.

Ordered full set of panels. Love your work man. Really hoping your inner fender panels give a little more length in the battery compartment. I need like 1/2" more length to fit my current stock of 3s batteries.

Nice work! Can't wait to see how the rig looks with the new panels!

Did the straight upper rear links create any clearance or binding issues? I would be interested in a set.

No. But they are also in the upper link hole location to prevent interference issues. A center diff would have zero clearance issues regardless of mount hole

[THUNDER PRO]

Thanks for the info,was going to start with upper holes anyhow for better hill climbing ability.

[CarterFab]

Inventory is starting to be formed and orders will be filled in order received.
Mounted up some fresh production skins on mine and got the Bomber graphics installed. The Full roof panel won't be available till January.
Also mounted up the set of factory tires on our licensed White Delrin Method Mesh wheels for track use. Waiting on some DCW beadlocks for the modified set of KR2 to do some testing on them.

[AWraith build]

Looks killer man!

[CarterFab]

Holmes sent over some power to test out in some rigs. I also got the Mamba MonsterX for this rig and for one main reason, adjustable drag brake on the fly from the remote. This is ideal for a dual purpose rig going from the track to crawling. No more down time programming between terrain changes. It will also handle any power that will ever get thrown at it and won't need an external BEC. It's truly a monster and doesn't take up any more space than the RX8. I'll get installed pics tomorrow after we go testing. It fits like a glove in this truck.
