Here's what I've got so far. - Dual Mamba Micro Proa - Team Brood 45T LE - Futaba 4PL - JRZ9100T - CC 10A BEC - Maxamps 1300mah 3s - Some Axial carbon here and there - Axial Lightened Gears throughout - PL Chisels - Axial Aluminum shock caps and spring retainers - Stock XR axles Can't think of really to much else, but I'll post as stuff gets here  Stay tuned!Pics to keep you satisfied temporaroly.

So are you "in" with Don or are you just anxious for the release? Way to be first with a Mantis build thread. |

Subscribed I've been focusing on my ltr22 built lately and can't wait to break out my xr10 give it some much deserved tool time Again, is there a guesstimate on when the public release of the mantis chassis will be? Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk Last edited by NeXt559; 08-04-2011 at 11:34 AM. |

I believe he will be using a dx3r for the time being, because I just bought his 4pks!  (atleast that's what he told me) | |

Not to hijack, but what didn't you like on the 4PL? I keep thinking about a new radio but unless I am reading wrong the setup for dig and proportion is not as smooth as my DX3R and wantAmix setup. Otherwise I think I have to get a 4PKS to get similar button setup. | |

The 4pl is worlds apart from the spektrum and was unit!!! I don't have any issues with the 4pl at all! It works flawlessly and does everything I want it to do except 1 thing. My reasoning is kinda stupid actually! I can't stand not having the top of the line radio!!!(my wife hates this trait about me) I recently used a 4pks and it seemed to fit in my hands better. I have a short thumbs and the 4pks seemed like it was easier to reach all the buttons for me! My only issue with the 4pl was that it doesn't have a 2pos. Dig button. I am used to having a 2pos front dig button, I tend to get a little confused when competing sometimes and my scores will sometimes suffer because of it. But you can easily look down at the radio and see what position the radio is in. So it ultimately comes down to me wanting the top of the line stuff! |

That is the same thing holding me back from a new radio (along with some cash) | |
