I know right,

Starting slow, the truck performed well last time it was out, so i dont want to make too many changes just yet. I made some carbon upper links today, mounted up it saved 14g.

My carbon uppers you fabbed up for me several months ago are still holding strong on the SA 3.5.

How are your front lowers holding up?

Thats great Shane, my first front lowers did not last long, the rock rash tore them up bad, the second set with the aluminum lower half sleeved are still on the truck, with many runs on them.

[sniper]

made a new set of carbon fiber servo clamps.

[sniper]

Also made new beadlock rims


5 piece design, carbon centers,delrin beads, aluminum beadlocks,

Going to make a set of carbon beadlocks as well,

Congrats Buddy on your 2nd in the State championship. Way to earn your National Spot!!!


That $20 chassis really works for ya. Hehe

[sniper]

Thanks, truck really performs well , I hate to even tear it down for a rebuild, but it's going to happen, still not sure what chassis I am going to run, but leaning towards something similar to the current one.

[sniper]

Tear down begins, truck weighs 5.39 lbs right now, the plan is not to be superlight, but just clean up the truck, replace what's broke,worn,

[chicklet]

Congrats on 2nd place Sniper!!!
