do you know rc4wd have you ever orderd from their

By the time you get those rapter axles i bet something will be wrong on them or they will be missing parts

stick with txt mad twin force axles or evenx factor axles

i think im going to try one of those axles first, hopefully they work good, I see you live in modesto, i live about 45 minutes north east of you in the little town of valley springs, when i get my crawler done we should go crawl together, where are there good places to crawl at around here??
