Put some Roks on her, used some RC10B4 Batter Hold Down Posts to make an opening, hinged hood and did a little touch up paint on the front pumpkin.     |

Actually, Dave is doing a custom set of Hilux gear for me for a class 1 build I am working towards. So that prize came in handy.

Nope, this is my 2.2 trail rig. Just for fun. The TTC rig is a rebuild of the Big Oly EB. I have the center shaft to complete then a bit of brazing and it is ready for paint. Here is the paint scheme:  Axles, Tranny rebuild is done, Motor maintenance is done, new rear steer server in, need to make a servo winch for it and wire it for lights. |

Maiden voyage since the upgrades, did good except ate a 48P gear, gotta switch to 32P with the 4S. Did fine in the climbs and the mud, good on the rocks but the Roks are not up to slippery slimy tree moss on the fallen logs.   |

New power plant going in along with 4WS. I have: - new MMP - new Tekin 13.5 Redline - new VP Chubs and Knuckles - new Servo plate and STRC mounts - new HS-7954 MMP and motor are wired up, motor is mounted and tranny is back in. Still not positive on the gearing, currently a 56/14. Maybe a bit too high. |

Man you guys and your crazy brushless set ups.... Considering I just sold off the rest of my comp gear Have a little Bray money, not to mention I have been a very good boy I may have to put together a little order...... Man you got a nice looking rig my friend. As are many of your other rigs. I've decided that wraith number two is going down the path you told me about....... any eta on when that may come to be? |

Not yet, first body is close, the other should be a couple months later. I will ping you as soon as they tell me they are ready to sell. I actually only went brushless to avoid the heat issue with a low turn brushed on 4S to 6S. So I am currently running Brushed in my Highlift Hilux and my Taco and Brushless in my Wraith and my SCX10 Hilux. Going brushed in the project Mog too. Since I have sold or traded off 6 trucks in the last few months, I find myself sitting on 2 BR-XLs, 3 FXRs with the 4S mod and a pile of 34T and one 45T HH motors. Time to do some projects.

Rear steer components are in, still have to make my Tie Rod and Drag Link. Motor and ESC is in also. Excuse the iPhone pics, too lazy to drag out the Nikon.   |

Got my new Dynamic Concepts K5 body. For the life of me, I could not find any of my air brush stencils of templates so just a simple paint job on this to see how it works out. I will do another is a few weeks. Rear deck is just sitting in place not locked down.  Still tossing around if I want to cut the hood out to access the batteries easier. For now, you can see how the body looks before you add the front and rear ends.   |
