I was going to say it was the best looking one I had seen, until I got to the last 2 pics. Ouch.

I'm really sorry to see that happen to you.

Atleast it wasn't on the maiden voyage.....
















Oh, wait it was...

Hopefully axial will take care of you quick.

Are all the bearings still intact?

Not the maiden voyage, I was on my 5th pack of pushing it real hard and deep into the throttle on a rear burn when I found ultra traction and wadded the rig up hard.

My motors are out of spec per recommendations. It was only a matter of time before I destroyed cast gears.

You're such a tease..
Looks good. That rear spool looks farmilliar. I did the same thing last night with 45t motors. Got a little happy with the throttle, car took a BIG bounce and boom, click, click, click. Took teeth off the spool and the final drive gear.
Let me know what you do to get the shocks to stop leaking. I have two now that are leaking, both at the caps. I am thinking I will need to get some aluminum caps or different shocks.

Nice job on the bends...looks like they hit the uppers pretty quick though.
Are you getting enough articulation out of that set up.

Only when on the lowest hole as pictured. After todays driving I think I like the next one up, which gives plenty of room. I have a bit too much rear bite on the lowest hole. Regardless there is plenty of articulation. The drill bit box is 6 inches.

I'm diggin the creativity with the links. I'm glad you went ahead with that 2nd bend. Much more extreme than I would have expected, but good job.
