Maybe I'll do something along the lines of what Jason was talking about? Transfercase. Hmmm.

slotted, dotted, or vented scale disc rotor hubs for grip fab / rpp wheels would be killer.

How are those new axial shock vs say scx10 ?

i went and cut out my fenders on my dingo body and mounted the flares before i mounted the body to the body mount posts on the chassis. with the body being mounted right where it should be, my fender flares f&r are sitting about 1/8" too far back from the middle of the wheels. juust enough to look goofy and not let the tires stuff as good as they should...

I hear ya. I fabbed up a skid pad for the clod and it screwed everything up. Had to shorten the front to get tires to line up with the body. Then cut down the mip driveshaft and now because of its stupid design all it does is spin. Frustration. Think I found a solution though. Now my wb is gonna be about 11.8".

That's a Rick question. He got the new ones...I think they're the same though.

[Die-Laughing]

They are practically identical. Aluminum bodies, plastic everything else. They are Meh. I'm going to use them because thats what I have. They should do fine.

They have new pistons. I was wondering what the difference is.

[Die-Laughing]

Yeah, I read something about that.. I think the pistons are machined instead of molded.. Supposed to be smoother or something. Probably just based on the fact that there aren't any burs on them. To be honest, when assembling them.. I noticed that the shaft was wanting to get hung up a little bit inside the hole of the body.. It kinda wore itself in after I stroked it a little bit with no lube.. Then I added lube and it got smoother. Also, the spring separator piece of plastic that goes in between the two springs.. That thing kinda rubs against the side of the body and makes friction a little bit. Thats kinda whack but, it is what it is I guess.

Haha, yea, it ain't no thang to him!

My Rustler is almost done. Picking up some parts that came in tonight and installing them, then I will post some pictures! I don't know why I'm so excited about my Rustler... It's just a fun little truck.

[Die-Laughing]

This is a very inspirational photo.. Good for Monday's. The scenery is so pleasant and the message is short and to the point. I like it.

man, I'm really torn on this radio thing... I've had a couple of ok offers for used 4pl's but I keep thinking maybe I should get a flysky so I can run 4ws on Hera... hmm, I think maybe I'll just stick with the 4pl.

i got a 4pk i would sell ya but not at all close to the price of a 4pl.

[johnnyh66]

yeah, I've got a few offers all around 180 but they come with rx, lifi, etc...
You know, I didn't love the 4ws when I had it but I've wanted it back ever since I got rid of it.

[Die-Laughing]

Unless you have ALOT of stuff to trade, Its hard to find somebody with exactly what you need and that needs exactly what you have. There have been 4pl's for sale as of late for very reasonable prices but, you seemingly do not want to straight up buy one. You want to trade. You're better off selling something and using the money to buy what you want.

[johnnyh66]

partial trad... e.g, I'd do throw down 80 and a new br-xl.

I'm going to have to just buy one I think... and have a sale.

[badhoopty]

im so freaking dissappointed in myself that i got my fender flares off on my dingo body... i suppose i can keep it and hog out the fenders hella for 2.2's if i ever wanna run that setup. i should just know better not to cut and trim fenders before i mount the body and see the actual wb.

trey does your steering servo arm hit the steering crosslink when the suspension is compressed on your jk? mine did, and that really bothered me so i modded the gcm mount with some normal servo mounts to orientate the servo horizontally and get the suspension to fully stuff and articulate without the damn servo arm hitting the linkage.

[Die-Laughing]

Johnny, I'll buy a r2104gf off of you if that helps.. I just sold one to Trey but, now that I think of it.. I think I want to just have one TX at the event in Aug.

I'll give ya $50 for a new one or $40 for a used one. If that helps you get a 4pl or whatever.
