Thanks man, yeah its fast enough, thats running 4s and a 19t pinion motor hardly gets warm

Wasn't any oil in the shocks when I made that video. I have 80 wt in them now. Handles much better. I am going to be looking into some sway bars soon too. Thanks again for all your help in picking a motor.

While waiting on my titanium goodies from vanquish, I figured I'd get started on the interior to keep jeepsohigh (Brian) happy. I reused the wraith dash and shifters. Installed new bright seats, and nikko jeep center console. Oh and a few beers.

Thanks Man, It's defiantly tough getting everything to fit with that big old summit trans and 2 3s lipos.

Installed my rc4wd cvd's today and put 2 packs through them. They seem to be holding up good. I was a little unhappy that the bearing surface is about .003 undersized giving the bearings a loose fit.

I also placed an order for vanquish ssz-9's, chubs and knuckles. Also I couldn't resist the new diff covers.

That is bad ass. You just made up my mind, i just ordered my wraith. I was debating on a Wraith or Summit forever. Thanks. Do you have a parts list on the summit trans. install. Was it pretty easy?

Well, the fj went on 6s today. Its pretty crazy how fast it is yet still can have decent low speed control. I made some battery covers out of black styrene to hide them better. Here are some pictures of them, then installed, and the mass about of wiring in this rig.

I just bought the y harness. Its just as cheap by the time you buy deans and wire. No video yet. I will try to have one up in the next few days. I am waiting on a large vanquish order first.

They're holding up ok. The pins are pretty trashed already. For a 40 dollar set of cvd's I can't complain, but I am sure I will upgrade to the 300's when they become available.
