I think that's too old for me but that's a great price for a competent rig.

me neither. They did say they'd be racing indoors every other Saturday for the winter series.

I need to redo the interior that I've half done.

That's what I am working on for the "Wild Bronco". With the way the cage is, the big tranny in there (still haven't gotten the Dinky GRU/transfer case) it really makes it hard to cram everything in there. But oh well!

Btw Johnny I ordered some of the slightly smaller line to see how it does. Will have to wind it up on the servo winch and see.

No... can't seem to find them anywhere and WarPig's PM box is full; was gonna see if he was still making them or what.

Just something I cobbled together with some round plastic servo horns that was on the Wraith. The "Wild Bronco" has a 3racing one for now; don't feel like swapping out the winch yet - too much to do before the 22nd!

this i know. it will drag on until you get to the point where you just figure it to be 'scale enough'...

i literally spent 5 hours on saturday brazing the rear light hoop i posted before and 2 teeeny 3/8" long pieces of 1/8" rod up front. had a bitch of a time figuring out how to put those pieces in place and not have them fall or slip before i got the torch to them.

i think i have one more round of brazing to do on tinytim before i can call it 'done', but i'll wait till the next time i tear it down to do them. all the detail stuff like brazing on panel nuts, fleshing out interior panels, blah blah.

I did order some 2.2 revolver's for my Slash... I'm going to run some fat tires for the Trash Slash Bash & bbq. Maybe I should get a body too...

will those wheels work on the slash 4x4? i was gonna order some more bash appropriated wheels and tires today.
i was going to get these:
TowerHobbies.com | PRO1159-13 1159-13 Pro-Line Trencher SC 2.2"/3.0" M2 Mounted Slash (2)

but if i can use a standard 2.2 wheel i'll get some masher 2k's and call it good.

According to Jang, only the Wide versions work.
Here's the ones I bought:
RPM Revolver Wide Wheelbase Black Rock Crawler Wheels | eBay

If they have a 12mm hex, don't see why not.

I do have some Slash specific beadlocks that have Trenchers mounted on them.

I really wanted to buy Slash specific beadlocks so I could mount my PitBulls on them and still use them for TTC's and such but I didn't want to pay for them... so I believe my PitBulls will get a glue job... but the Wide Revolver might make a good TTC wheel anyway so I think I'll add a little weight in them before I glue them down.

"Slash specific" beadlocks, only ones I know of are ProLines, are 3.0/2.2 so won't work with any of the crawling 2.2 tires.

Standard 2.2 wheels I don't think will work on a Slash because of the way the c-hub is; but haven't really tried to see if there are clearance issues.
