I will check out your xr build for sure,cool you still have the LCC..I beat mine to death aswell with no issues,just know now that worms are not for me.

Radio wise I am kinda leaning towards something out of the norm..I was gonna get a 4pk again,but after talking with Nabil a bit I am pretty stuck on the Radiopost 4ch.Its a lot cheaper than a 4pk,has all the same features,full color screen,and their 4ch reciever is ever so tiny..

It's nice to see you back, man. Looks like you're off to a great start. Think you could use a free lid on that thing?

I always liked your chassis on the losi, its nice to see it make a comeback with the Axial.

Did some more work on the electronics box.I needed to have a spot for the reciever,so I used the optional esc mount from the kit.I trimmed off the original mounting holes so it would fit on the end of the box.drilled and taped two 3mm holes to fasten it to the side. I used some short m3 fastners with a dab of ca on the tip since the plastic isnt very tough.worked out good though.



I went ahead and cut the lower cover for the box to fit what was left to cover the hole.



Here is everything back in the chassis..I'm happy now..



Threw a body on too...just to take a look..

Thanks..I'm really happy with it.The adjustable shock arms greatly improved the original design,the skid was a nice bonus.

Yah I am gonna get the aluminum bodies and maybe try the mini revo bladder..jerry just happened to have these laying around and let me have them.I am really liking the smaller shocks and softer springs.I think its finally soft enough..

I kept seeing all the pictures showing the balance point of rigs,figured I would give it a try and see where my balance point was.I was very surprised to find out that mine is very close to 60/40 right now..I just hope it stays that way..

Finally got up the nerve to chop on the giveaway body from Rockthrasher and get it mounted up..The paint work on this thing is amazing..Jason is the master at custom lids..
Took a couple poser shots..
