Default Building away, having a blast

I finally started my build, and I am having a blast. The Vanquish knuckles, and STracing casterblock needed some attention had to to take alittle material of the casterblocks to fit the knuckles, worked out great, and was fun.
On the picture of the assembled currie the is a little more of a gap at one end at the wheel hex than the other. Is this normal?? are should I take it apart? It is super smooth, just not liking that wheel hex gap.
Thanks

Looks good. I'm sticking to plastic where I can get away with it. That currie axle looks awesome. I'd ended up destroying it myself. But your build is lookin good. Finally got some goodies for mine in the mail today. I'll post up on my thread later.

Yep what he said!

Short Bus is becoming my spokesman, I just pop in and say "ya what he said".....kinda pathetic on my part, but we can't all be smartly and edgumakatid like that cool kid with the special helmet in the short bus above me in those quotation marks!

You may already know that I got a currie myself. But I went with black, that silver is soooooo damned Perty but i worried it would be like a glossed black hot rod.... I'd end up cleaning it more than driving it

DD I'm just glad yer building and enjoying, not sitting in jail for hunting down and shooting yeti thieves! I'll keep checking this as ya go or I could just be a blister you know, show up when all the work is done!

Made some progress today.
I used a 6inch servo extension for the esc, for quick programming with my card.
Seems to be a pain to access the TX every time I want to reprogram somthing, and alittle lazy to.
What a fun build..

Congrats bro looks awesome!

Of course it does make me look more like the slacker that I am having you finish so quickly....but it's hard to polish a turd, so I don't hold it against Ya!
