i know carterfab will make them, but they wont have the vp finish.

Haha.. That's funny. Me & You drinking heavily is like 4 beers each. Jason drinking heavily is about half that. Do they sell 10 packs?

Taking it easy. Cindy's not feeling to well. Always doing something to my Trucks and making progress on new basement layout. Got another 300lbs of rocks and a brand new Table Saw. Never had one. The I Hobby Expo is this weekend in Schaumburg. I was thinking about going. There are always good sales going on, get to see new products, and there is a decent Rock Crawling section. I used to go every year missed the last Two. Matter of fact ended up getting the H1N1 virus at the last one that I went to. What a Trip.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that the rear straight axles are hard to find. It's almost like their set needs to include them. I can't see them making these if you still have to go find wheely king straight axles to put in them.

Have you seen anyone else that offers these?

Hey guys, forgot to ask, who grabbed that bag of bodies and junk that I left last Sunday?

Maybe because I was supposed to go to OH this weekend and now I'm not...

Anyway:

NWITTC comp is Sun (13th)

I grabed it thanks. Set of tires a gave to my bro for his st..julian took jeep body for the seats and dash and im taking the hood /grill...maybe use for something later..

[Mike Flea]

Good, I'm glad you guys could use it, I start getting too many "extras" in the garage and running out of places to put it, and if I'm not using it, might as well pass it out to folks that can.

im sure creeperbob could make some. i remember mention of vp making thier own shafts for the tubes since the wk option works out a tad narrower than the front xr width.

could always trim down some wraith shafts too. i think.

i really want a set in the xr width... sucks they arent making them and haven't said anything about them for a long time. :(

[JHTreyIII]

I have to find something! I guess I could build some with beef tubes for now....probably just wait it out for a while and see.

Anyone planning to go to either of these? I have the Clod running... as long as the transmitter holds up.

I did finally pay Neil for the Flysky so Hera can go back to 4ws.

or just get some wk axles until then.

[JHTreyIII]

I don't know anything about WK axles...are they any good?

They work well, just not a lot of upgrades available. The WK granny's were also the original T Case befor RC4WD started making the Killers and Disruptors.

Brings back memories. My first scaler was a Chevy C10 poly body on a Tamiya HiLift chassis, leaf springs, WK axles, WK trans as a T Case, HPI GRU, Novak ESC (NiCad of course) and a Futaba Magnum Jr radio and servo. Lol, damn it was ugly. I think I still have the chassis.
