That's great!...ya just have to steal time to build lol. I ended up changing out the links on my green 1.9 wraith last night. It changed the wheelbase from 12.5 inches to 14 inches. It makes it much more stable now.

Ok got a motor. Now the only thing left is the steering servo and servo arm. Thinking about a Savox SA 1231SG. 0.14 seconds and 444.4 @ 6.0 volts.

The bead locks came in today, I was expecting DIG components. So, the white dot ripsaws were mounted on the 2.2 Rockster bead locks. Then wheels and tires were put on the axles. I then started on the transmission. Ran into a problem when the motor's output shaft was too long for the gear cover. Decided that was enough for one night. Got rid of a bunch of plastic. Still can not find my DIG components. sorry no pictures, I am tired.

Well as luck would have it, the DIG came yesterday as well. Both packages came while I was at work, I only saw one.

I have ran into the issue of the shaft being too long for the cover before...I put the cover on by hand and pushed on it fairly hard to mark the cover, then drilled a hole to let the shaft go thru the cover. The duratrax Baja Bug I have I just held the cover on with the battery in and the Bug turned on, hit the trigger and in about 5 seconds the shaft bored its own hole making a perfect fit and pretty water tight as well.

Well I got some more time in today. Built the link bars, drive shafts, steering linkages, and mounted the axels to the center section transmission. Could not get the final connection to the rear pumpkin on the rear axel. If I bolt it to the rear pumpkin I can not make the transfer case connection. If I make the rear transfer case connection, I can't connect at the pumpkin.

What is the problem? Shafts too short or holes don't line up? There are 3 different lengths of shafts in the kit I think.....
