Really looking forward to a good review on the MMX. I've been wanting to get one of those for pretty much all the reasons you just stated. Did Holmes put the larger phase wire plugs on those puller pros for you? I believe the MMX needs 6.5mm plugs?

No. I'm still running my Pro4HD. The MMX came with the huge bullets and heavy gauge wiring, thankful I have a good solder station. lol!!
The sensor wire is also a must with the MMX as the esc port side is way different than normal.

As soon as I get my extra Futaba receiver, this thing is going full KOH mode.
Will be installing the 2 speed trans Kit.
To now have the ability for the first time in this great hobby to be able to run wide open in a track setting, then approach a large rock climb, down shift and adjust the drag brake all in seconds, has got me super excited. Truly a game changer.

This thing handles really well and it's fastly become my favorite truck.

The Currie sway bar keeps things under control even when three wheeling out of a corner on harsh terrain and don't have to lift.

This is why I only build/use/sell the best parts made. The VP axle breaks a big chunk off a rock when it makes violent contact.
Zero parts failure.

Aftermath of the impact.

Also bent the aluminum Hitec steering arm a little bit that's not surprising. Love the Dinky s-link on this rig. It allows you to make a full under tray for storage or servo winches without any interference.

A few people have asked about the VP light bar mount. It's as simple as swapping in two longer screws for the front bumper and then installing the 1" light bar.

Been having trouble keeping the sway bar tight so I swapped out the set screws for BHCS to hopefully give a better bite and torque down on them a little better.

Probably a very stupid question but i am going to ask anyway. The hood is still able to rotate with the light bar their correct.

Awesome build and panels.

Clay - How well will these panel polish? No worries or don't bother?
