Thanks for the kind words guys. I have been running my XR axles since 2012 and I knew if I was going to make the switch I was going to go big or go home.

Got some time to test out some Laser cut / 3D printed wheels for the loaded dice.



It allows for a true beadlock on the front face and a glued on back face. It might make assembly a bit easier and might be a bit lighter, but I don't have the real deal to compare against so who knows.



Clearance to the Dice and everything else seems pretty good.


Once I get the axle running an am happy with the fit the faces will go to CF and I will solvent cure the 3D printed part to add some extra strength.

I also got some of Will's cool new clear shocks from RCBros.
The fit on these is great, and the look good to boot.


So far it is looking something like this.


Got a couple packages in the mail today so off to crack them open and take more photos

It all looks sick

love ya and I'm sure it is gonna rock....... on the rocks

[CM9000]

stunning???

wheels look good. shallow bead seat though? have you tried pulling the bead out? just curious. if not.. I need to make some changes to my design to make mine a little lighter.

OK ok, a day late but got the rear end in and snapped some photos.

The Nemesis rear axle by Y-Town Crawlers, serial #001. I am told that it is "Strong, yet nimble, like a ballerina with a rocket launcher. "


It is very sexy and well built. Lots of custom machined aluminum parts to help tie together the aluminum into the gear case. The few Aluminum pieces have already been stripped off to get anodized.







And to help merge the Nemesis with his Dlux counterpart a shiny new chassis, Y-Town Double Agent 2.0.





I am waiting for the Nemesis aluminum parts to get done anodizing before final assembly can be started but we will see how far we can get tonight.

I have one more trick up my sleeve for this little guy. Maybe I will see if I can get that working tonight.

[Dezertdirt]

wow, that is awesome. I want one, how much was it? How much does it weigh?

[Curcal]

Thought that this might be the case but i wasnt sure he was letting any out the door yet..... cool stuff man.

When the parts get back from anodizing I'll put it on the scale. As for price lay i heard they are shooting for $250.

I have been bugging Jake about one for a while, i think he just got tired of getting phone calls from me.

Got some more progress done tonight, chassis built up, front axle mocked up with links, and afew other bits. Will get photos up soon.

That combo with some steel gears and a steel shaft should be around 125g.

[CM9000]

Trucks gonna be sick though when you get done, the colors, the contrast, the ideas, the wing you're gonna have to put on the rear to keep it from blowing over. Cant wait to see in person!

You guys are missing the point. The whole reason for building it is so when I drive it there is a #1 next to my name at the end of the day.

Started out as wishful thinking and somehow turned into reality
