you can also replace the pinions with axial pinions.

the "KING" helpin' the "GANGSTA'" get back on the trails. glad to see gary's found him a rig, way to extend some southern hospitality there jimmy. he had contacted me bout doin' something for him, but i really don't have "extra" spare parts. my pile of axles has dwindled quit a bit in the past few months.

I'd have to order some different bearing to do that, anyways they always say bigger is better right. My pile just keeps getting down to a manageable size and someone will offer something I can't pass up. Got some cool projects planned for myself this year.

got a little more done tonight, axles are built and upper links installed, thinking i might swap to a scx10 shock and see how it looks, his tires should be here tomorrow and ill get them mounted up and change the shock, mount the servo and make a box for the electronic and itll be ready for Gangsta

got a crazy amount of flex right now, maybe a little to much, ill see what the scx10 shocks will do


looking pretty good though


Head on shot


And i finally washed the body lmao

[FATBOYrs10]

hey jimmy, what's the wheelbase on that rig? i'm just curious, cause i may have an old, but descent body i may just donate him. just so he can change it from time to time if he likes.

[King James]

as it sits now, 11.75 maybe a little longer after i see how the scx10 shocks

[FATBOYrs10]

cool, i'll measure the couple of bodies i have and will let him know bout them.

[notmanywords]

well i got the rig and saturday the 19th tore right into it, got the trans put in and the traxxas 21t motor and was all ready to go for a test run and went to hook up the RX/TX and holy hell they dont work and i didnt get the right trans so now i need to buy a new RX/TX and a new spur gear. But it look sweet and ill get with james to get some pics posted

[King James]

Glad you got the rx/tx working, hope you can make it out saturday
