I made a small vid of mine. I will get Murderfaces up in his thread sometime really soon. I thought I would have two vids of both rigs for all to see. Keep your eyes on both of our threads. I am loading mine right now.

Well, I thought I would update the thread a bit. I took the trans cases apart to check the stock gears and regrease them and all the good shit. The gears have a shit ton of hours on the now, and look just the way they did when they came out of the parts bag. I will give the life and lasting stock gears cred to the VP plates and cases. They are top notch and the bearings inside are in great condition too. I will be updating soon. Getting my servo guard soon.

PICS And it shining on the rig Got a Bigron carbonfiber battery mount on the way, so updating soon. Also getting the VP upper link mount and the Rc4wd gears. |

Thank Fred and Big Rocker, at the moment the rig works great for crawling an indoor dusty ass course The snow seems to be clearing and then its outdoor time As soon as it gets warm out, I may have to change the oils, I am running 15wt in the rear and 20wt in the front. Main reason is the indoor course is a bit cool, make for shock oil to get a little thicker then you want it to be, So far, so good though.

Oh, forgot to add that I ordered a set of BWD wheels. Want those for my new set of boss claws. I am trying to figure out a way to have a foam setup that works for my XR and AX. That way I can switch tires between the to rigs |

Thanks man. I did something fun today. Went ahead and mounted my BossClaw. Did some of my own awsome dual stage foam mix'n match. I think I got the right foams for tomorrow. If not I got the rovers with there foams ready for action. Waiting on wheels sucks ass. |
