Here's a couple pictures of the test run. Machines quite nicely with a bit off cutting oil. Also threading isn't so bad once you get it started. Use decent cutting oil here also. I used rocol cutting oil throughout it's brown, oily and smells like maple syrup  I ended up turning the rod down from 3/16" to 3.6mm for easy tapping. Still has plenty of bite in the revo end though. Next to the Ti is standard M4 all-thread for reference.   Kieren |

Not much! It doesn't help trying to get things done when your at the opposite end of the country. Don't worry this one will give the toss, the toss Kieren |

Small update. Mamba Micros ordered along with the replacement shock shafts to replace the dodgy one on the SCX10 shocks. Still not very happy about having to fork out $14 for something that shouldn't be my problem. Kieren |

My esc's turned up today. I paid the measly sum of $3 for first class shipping from amain, yet despite this it was THE fastest I have ever received a parcel from the US. Now to those that pay for priority and express, I think you're being had. Kieren |

You know you're hardcore when you haven't even used your ESCs but they are already under the knife. Straight from the packet the case was removed, the white wire desoldered, switch removed and soldiered so it is permanently on at the board and then heatshrunk. From my rather inaccurate scales it is around 5-10g lighter per ESC.  Also I got a picture of the bad shock shaft, this is what you DON'T want your shafts to look like straight out of the packet. Not the clearest picture, but enough to get the general idea.  Slowly getting there... Kieren |

Good job on the threading, looks really smooth  With cutting oils, the nastier they smell and look the better they seem to do... aaah nothing beats the smell of cutting oil burning in the morning  And wheres this chassis your talking about |

Thank you, for the first time I'm quite pleased. So true. Sorry my friend I'm on orders to keep in under wraps atleast until I get mine  I will say though it's not like anything currently on the market. Cheers Kieren |
