I haven't even driven it yet.

Yeah, we need to scout a new location. It looks like Allred is being turned into Alton drive lately.

I was trying to find a body that was a good fit for my FoFF build...I'll be darned if I didn't just buy a HPI Rubicon body 2 days ago (kicks self!).

Don't kick yourself too hard, it took a fair amount of cutting to get this body to sit right. Then I had to cut clearance holes for the shocks, shock towers and steering servo in the front hood section of the body. It took a while to get it right. But, it was worth it to me. I love the overall stance of it now.

I got that issue last week and thought that body was killer on it! The guys at work thought it wad pretty cool too!

Yeah, that seems to be a much more narrow body than the Rubicon though. I'm expecting some cutting to get it to work and clear the paddles.

That thing looks down & dirty. Loving it

Satan6907 · 02-09-2012, 11:32 AM

friend brought that issue to work last week and when I seen it I told him, that's Benders rig. Just had the Bender style to it.

I will be posting more details on this build soon, here and on Axial's blog, as well as some video. I just need to find a new location to run it.
