Yes, it is fuzzy. Ever since I saw what a Brown Recluse can to, I've been wray of spiders.


Found out it's a Daring Jumping spider. They jump away from fast approaching female spiders.

Thank you. I think, and hope, that it will hold up to roll overs. I built the cargo rack so I can remove it If I want to. Time and roll overs will tell.

I plan on running MIP drive shafts. How many mm did you trim off?

[355C]

The exact amount? Couldn't tell ya, just kept trimmin till it worked. I also had to clock my axle because the drive shaft would bind up. Idk if I just haven't seen them, but I don't think mip makes shafts for the g6 yet. I have been emailing Matt at mip about it. Trying to get a set of shafts made up so I can run them with the dig...

Thank you for posting.

I got a lot of work done. I built my rock sliders and installed my MIP driveshafts.

Here are my rock sliders.







Now that I got my rock sliders done that should be the end of my metal work. It should be down hill from here.

Tomorrow I'll post how I did my MIP driveshafts since it involves several steps. Gonna call it a night


To be continued ...

I am interested in seeing how you did this... Part numbers??? Did you have to clock those axels at all? Probably isn't binding up like mine was with the MIP's

Good work, reminds me of my ax10 shafty days. I had the Vp dig also. Its a great piece.

Thank you. Good to know. It's my first time running a Dig. I wanted to do something different.

Hey Derek!

Thank you. How the heck have you been?

[355C]

sweet, nice write up on the Drive shafts. I am considering taking the DIG off my truck. I do not run competitions and i am looking more for reliability. Talked to Matt at MIP he said that the SCX10 kit should work just fine for the G6. (for everyone not running dig)

Thank you.

Try MIP driveshaft part #09137. This will solve your issue and you won't have to uninstall your DIG.

A friend told me about this after I modified my driveshaft. Since I already had the MIP driveshafts I didn't mind making them work.

^^^Sweet! thank you.

are the vanquish Dig output shafts the same size as the Stock axial shafts?

Its amazing the things that are made possible with a dig. You wont be dissapointed

I have to assume that they are because the MIP driveshafts are specifically for the SCX10 and they fit perfectly on the VP Dig.

Thank you. I wanted to do something completely different then a typically setup.

[Trump1]

I did some powder coating the other day. I have some good news and some bad news. The good news. The front bumper and rock sliders came out good.

The bad news. My dual Jerry can holder and cargo rack couldn't take the heat and feel apart. I may try to salvage the Jerry can holder. If and when I'm in the mood to fiddle, I'll revisit the cargo rack.

Here's the front bumper.











The rock sliders.



I'm a little down, but not out.

Thank you. Snazzy is cool. I can think of Old School terms like Boss or Bitchin.
