Hahaha!! I did the same thing and my wife reacted exactly the same way... I think I drove it for about a minute around my first floor of my house before I started tearing it down. I think the wrenching is really just as fun as the driving. I spend alot of time making videos of mine too, cause I just love to watch em run. Ive spent hours on youtube just watching scale RC Crawlers...

got the rear end and trans put in today ,decide to go with a different shock these get more overall travel should have the body done tomorrow

I like that rear link setup with the single bend. If you want a tiny bit more travel and softness, you can move the top shock mounts to the inner-most hole. I found the green springs to be a bit stiff unless you want a fully sprung setup, or are loaded with a large lipo and other accessories.

yeah i ended up using ,i believe it was reds in the rear

[mitchr97]

wow, it did not take long to tear that down did it?

And if you could, post a pic with the body on. I'm curious to see how they are positioned in comparison to the stockers.

sorry for the crappy cell pics i still need to get electronics installed and the headlight buckets and scale accs. in

[05Fronty4x]

Are those MTHead rings and Axial beadlocks? Do they replace the stock metal rings? I'm thinking of getting a set with the extra holes for dummy screws. Ordering screws from McMaster by the 100 is a bit of a downer since I only need 24 long and 48 shorts, but the filled out 18-hole design with stainless cap screws looks too awesome to resist.

The rig is looking great.

Yeah they replace the metal ring,if you have a local fastnel you order just the amount you need

Looking good, but your front Blue Monkey RC lower links are on upside down.

[05Fronty4x]

To me it makes more sense to have them on the way he does. He has them on like any other bent link, those just have an extra bend. More clearance towards the center, and the second bend creates a low spot to help guard the drive line.

[passinby]

Yep, you nailed it
