Looks awesome.....and familiar!!! Coincidentally, I just ordered DMG's new style front bumper as well, except this time I went with the flat top. If you want maximum tire performance, throw a set of Sedonas on; these tires will blow your mind compared to most regular tires. I didn't build mine for scale points, I built it to crawl.

Thanks for your kind words. Yes I had looked at yours (Which looks awesome by the way ) mine would have been even more so as I already have the aluminum hood and body panel's. So now I have new Dinkyrc hood ordered to go with another set of side panels I already had. I am pondering color as I do not want it to look like someone else's . I have a set of Sedonas also but since there is not really a lot of places to crawl around here. I will be doing more trail driving so not sure what tire I will end up with. Just a note on the Sedonas, they are mounted on the same wheels and rings your using. I guess great minds think alike

Thanks and yes its a Dinky RC Wraith Hood V2 but it was from the org build when I had a BGR KOH Cage V2, same with side panels. Plan to change them out.

Looking good! Are there any advantages to using a DMG kit or is it just for looks?

Not sure about everyone else but for me I choose it because it stiffens the chassis and also give you more movement (or some refer to as flex) in the rear with the trailing arms and clearance also. For someone who is bashing I don’t think it would benefit them in any way, but crawling or something like the U4 I think it is great way to go. If you look through the forums you will notice quit a few people run them. But that’s just my 2 cents worth.

Plus it looks really cool

The parts fairy stopped by with some goodies.





And the big surprise Thanks HH for the super fast service.





Also got a set of Crawler Innovations Six Bolts and a set of ScalerFab sliders.







Getting there slowly but surely. Bumpers should be in Monday.... A custom one from BGR (Thanks Bill) and a Proto Fab Stinger from Mad Shin(Thanks Scott)

My custom bumper. Thanks Bill










Then I went to work on the front drive shaft angle. I trimed down 2 Jato rod ends until the servo still cleared the bumper. This is what I ended up with. Not perfect but not bad now.
