Yes sir very thin. Those are actually for my Super. I got a little carried away. The thin part measures (.010). Thanks to a great member he shipped me some big gears all I paid was shipping

[McTwist]

Thanks. The Creep 30T were awesome before. So I can't imagine what the Vapors will be like.

Seeing yours first hand is what convinced me to get them.

Yes sir. I'll have to update the Super thread before long
I wish I could be at Nationals. I've gotta get this truck done so The Woo machine can drive it.

He may not be, but I'll pull a Brian Deegan

[Monstergt]

Machined the backside of my Knuckle weights off today and cut them In half. This weight plus the 1/4" weight I cut in half is 1.6 oz on the scale together. With them at that weight it puts me to my goal of about 3oz of knuckle weight total.



Finished drilling my gears today as well.

[Monstergt]

HERE IS A PICTURE OF EVERYTHING ON THE SCALE MINUS THE WIRING, TWO BRXLS, BIG OLE 603RX, SERVO AND MOTORS MOUNTED, PLUS BATTERY AND KNUCKLE WEIGHTS





AND A PICTURE OF HOW SHE SITS TODAY

[Colby]

Lol damn... lay off the caps lock! I feel like youre yelling at me

Berg looks good! Thats a damn light setup for sure. Hope you do well with it bud

[McTwist]
