And I really want to go to Palmer on the 3rd.

So yea.

I was going to get a Bj4, that didn't work out.

I was then going to get a Rockshow. That didn't work out either.

I then realized I a schmedium wieght bodied crawler kinda guy, so I went with a Secret Agent 4.0.

Added some SLW's, Ti links that I bargained with a Ninja Jedi sense master to have built. (saw a 5.0lb super in the Master's dojo)

So my sweet so 2000 and late 3 Channel Secret agent.

A Punk
CC BEC
M Max Pro
Jr8711
VP Plates, Cases, Upper link mounts and SLw's
YTC Secret Agent 4.0
Xr10 shocks
Sedona's
Lunsford 4mm lowers built by the Almighty
.125" uppers crafted by the Almighty

Dual Stage CI closed cell foams (That are amazing)







in all black


and two tone





Right now I am sitting at an obese 5.1lbs So its a little Jessica Simpsoned out at the moment.


but still 2 lbs lighter than before the rebuild.

I am going to get boss claws, aluminum hardware throughout the chassis, axels and rims, LW gears for at least the rear, shave the tires, change out the XR10 body mounts, go for aluminum braces and a few other things to start the weight reduction

if I can get to 4-4.5 lbs Id be happy with a chunky Chistina propertioned crawler


w/o leaking reddish brown stuff.

Right?

I got all excited to do the most complex paint scheme i have ever tried. Two tone!

And now that I have painted it, i ordered another body to do all flat black.

Well, at first I just made up some cross braces (between the chassis plates), but I still saw some flex there, so I cut up some of these:


They are solid now.

So are your uppers braced between right to left w/ aluminum spaces, AND front to rear w/ the CF?

or just front to rear w/ the CF?

And why are your upper links so low? LOL I may take mine down a hole

They are braced between the chassis plates AND with the CF brace.

Low?

Gosh you're on fire over there man. Casey set my links up like Krawls, and yours are lower!!

I have to take some weight off her.

Casey's fawkin 5.0lb super weighs as much as my 2.2!!

I am all jealous of his 3.4lb Agent.

Those guys are running the 3.5 chassis though....the link mount holes are different on this chassis. I believe they are also running spacers under the upper axle mount...

Ahhhhhhh!!!!

I am doing it all wrong!!!!!!

LOL I was using Casey and Krawl's original 4.o (their starting point before all the 3.5 body-less greatness) as a reference. I think at least.

But yours is the only one i have seen with a trophy!

I kinda forgot all my squat knowledge, so I have to learn again.
