I decided to go and get the whole unit from you JPH, STGAL500, STG501, & STGAL502. I just placed my order and I'm looking forward to getting it installed in my rig.

also. anyone wanting to run the lower clearence link on the inside will need to raise the tranny/dig unit about 1/8" for the link ends... im using traxxas ends, this might be different for other applications | |

Thanks JPH for that fast shipping, it got to me last Friday. I installed it over the weekend and needless to say I'm very impressed with this dig unit. S3R's machining and precession is unmatched. Every single piece fits correctly and operates smoothly. Over the next week I'll be working and camping on Hualalai (another Hawaiian Volcano). While I'm there, I'll be spending my free time testing it out. I got to drive it around a little yesterday and I'm impressed with how smoothly the dig engages and disengages from all three positions. I think Hualalai volcano will be a good test. If I remember I'll snap some pictures. Oh... For anyone wondering, it fits very nicely (and easily) into the DNA SlingShot. Thanks again.  |

| S3R Dig unit in SlingShot SE chassis
As I stated in a previous post, this unit fits very nicely into the DNA SlingShot. Here is a picture of that:  Last week I did some testing on Hualalai Volcano, a volcano with some really sharp and nasty rocks which resulted from a post shield Alkali stage magma similar to Stromboli style eruptive features.   I am very impressed with this dig unit. I had time to drive two packs through it. I never had any problems with the dig engaging or disengaging from any of the three positions, it was always very smooth. JPH thanks for getting it to me so quickly, S3R you've got a very excellent product. |

Since most of this island is lava fields, I'd say that I am in Crawler Heaven. But some of the terrain around here, in particular... A'a lava fields, could be called Crawler Hell as soon as you start breaking parts. The terrain in the pictures are a mix of both A'a and Pahoehoe lavas otherwise known as transision lava fields, making for some pretty brutal testing grounds. Fortunately this dig unit held up just fine in that terrain. | |

Woah... just tore open my dig and it was looking like this.... very little wear, if any.    I cant remember when I installed this thing for some damn reason.. (Stupid brain!!) but I bought one from Jake when he was first getting stock, before they hit the display case. But I know I've been thrashing on my rig pretty hard and heavy for the last few months, and I know I dont have the lightest rig on the block, so it's had a good workout. Way to go stage 3 !  |

| CKRC Chassis with s3?
Has anyone used this dig in a CKRC Rock Star Chassis? 3/4" narrower than stock-would that create problems????? I have a CKRC dig i now,very tight and not working great. |

not only do they look good, but they can handle abuse when set up properly. i have one with a 40 turn motor on a 3s lipo, mip driven, to axles that have under/over drive r&p's. i have a slipper clutch but it is locked also. i can change the course before i break parts with this piece of functional jewelry |
