That looks great! BTW was the green custom anodized for you since you are sponsored by VP?

Looks nice, but how hard are you pressing down on those lockouts!

Nice work, but how much weight did you save by machining the lock outs. Maybe a gram or two?

Hey, question on your 2 screw mod. Do You see any reason why I can't drill the 2 screws with the axles all together? I know I'm being lazy but I just rebuilt the damn things last week with rc4wd gears, motor plate, brass inserts and a BWD Blade brace but I still made the damn things click last weekend!

Sorry for the delay, the only reason i can see is you may leave plastic
shaving in the gear box and thet might cause the gears to break.

What size screw did you use for the 2 screw mod? And are you still using that same set of gears?
