good to know I was gonna order a set of cvds but didn't know weather to get axial or gpm thanks for the info on them im running the stock exo dogbones right now but I didn't wanna have mess with mips unless I had to when I drop a small brushless in there

[scottanthony]

I think they were called,

Blitz HD STEEL REAR CVD UNIVERSAL SWING
on Feebay.
But, I bet they are GPM.. Just been happy with em, cause I broke a set of Axials...

[scottanthony]

Mounted and installed..... I have zero complaints with these wheels.... The bead went in easily and they bolt to VP SLW hubs even easier.... For the added touch of Bling, Disc's bring out the re-machined part of the wheels too.

[scottanthony]

There was a lil overcast in these pics. Any more sun and Ive would've either been blind or there would've been too much glare cause these shine..!

Nice wheels...i have the same ones but in raw finish and i love them

I have the BM chassis kit coming. Ill assess cost and the new ups when I get em in.. Im still on the fence about the differences of the two. Ill keep everyone updated.

[scottanthony]

Got my Blue Monkey IFS kit today. Total cost shipped was $82.34

[scottanthony]

Heres the Extra Parts I bought to make this work.
-GPM Aluminum Crank Set for Slash, $24.89
-Slash Donor Bellcrank, $15.99
So, $40 for the new steering parts, (I will need the spring, bearing and screws from the stock pieces.)
Adding these up, Im at, $133.00

[scottanthony]

Test fitment and Im not sure if this is right...? Any ideas?
The belllcrank is not my friend right now.

[Ballistic17]

How's this coming along?

[scottanthony]

Im waiting on slash 2wd parts instead of the 4x4 parts which was wrong.

Looks killer scott!

Can't wait to see it in person!

did you have to mod the stock outputs to use this locker? I have been trying different ways to lock the front end but I have yet to find anything that works.

[scottanthony]

Yes, these are stock outputs.. they have been holding up..!

[scottanthony]

Managed to get the right part from Traxxas in...
Looks to be mounted correctly.

[scottanthony]

When mounting the servo, The servo mount tabs have to be above the IFS upper plate. If you do not, you'll never get the servo to mount correctly once the lower and upper plates come together. (I only wasted 30 mins of bolting and unbolting to figure it out.)

[fr8cture]

Good thing the traxxas logo will be hidden. Looking good. Can't wait to see more progress.

Mounting the Tower to your front bulkhead should be easy peasy. I took the extra step and used longer hardware to drill then mount the tower instead of the countersunk hardware. Its a pretty solid way to keep things from coming loose, having nylocks on the back.
