Awsome! Hey kevinslongisland how did you make those mounts and the tranny on your E-Maxx? I looks like it has almost as much articulation as my Juggernaut! The Gecko clod looks awsome too!

which mounts? for the tranny/motor, i just modified the stock plate so i could mount the motor lower to the chassis for lower CG. I still have to make nice upper shock mounts for the savage shocks. The ones on there i ROUGH cut out of a cheap plastic snow sled.
