How's the clearance of the tierod from that vp diff cover?
It's super close with a stock diff cover!

I haven't ordered mine yet, so I haven't had a chance to see if it's any different than a stock one.

Thanks for the support!!!!
We truly appreciate it!!!

i say the clearance is good for stock axles. going with a cvd might change things though.

While I had it all apart I had a chance to fab up the lipo/ electronics tray. I would like to add this to the Fatbatt line up..



all done with all electronics mounted.



quick shot of the winch. mounted using the rogue element mount.
