I don't know if I'm more impressed with the kid standing on the wall or the crawler hanging upside down...

Bahahahaha I couldn't fix the pic for some reason. It wasn't sideways on my phone. You should like this rig though. It's running a Mamba Micro Pro and a CC bec.

Having gone through 4 of the plastic drive shafts at the UK Recon G6 last month I have just replaced them with metal ones. Next on the list is to upgrade the shocks to aluminium ones. I really like the way the Gmade G-Transition ones ride & droop on the Komodo but these are 80mm not 70mm.

Is there anything I can do to make these fit?

Shock keys. I just bought some. The CFX-W on Asiatees blog uses shock keys with 80mm shocks.

My little CFX-W bitsa did well on it's first outing. I'm running the CFX-W chassis with leaf springs, RC4WD Yota axles, voodoo klr 4.19, Proline Bushwacker body and RC4WD TF2 bumpers. Managed a 2nd place in C1 on the weekend despite not being technically finished. Lots of fine tuning required with the suspension. No bec so servo was rather weak. But a fun little car to wheel around.

but... a CFX-W without its portal axle is no really longer a CFX-W

[jrkilburn]

So, got the W back from Exclusive RC and the CMS kit is done.

Mounted it all up today along with the front half of the Boom Racing 313mm stainless link kit. Fantastic work there with 4mm ends and certainly added some weight down low. The bonus is that it includes the steering links too. The top front four link bar from the kit was used along with the old steering ends to make the new pan hard bar.

I'm still getting this rigs body worked out so I'll save on explaining all of that mess.

Body and bed look great!

Edit: sorry, see I mentioned the other on page 8 and you're working within limitations.

[Natedog]

Where'd you get the sweet body, CrossRC?

Nice use of the Asender K10 bed to go with it.

[jrkilburn]

Yep, flea bay purchase of cab only for a great price. Couldn't pass it up. The same with the ascender bed, $12 w/shipping!

Thanks, hopefully the weekend will allow me time to detail and paint.

I'm wondering now if this ascender bed will fly in class 1.....

That body is sweet! Great work on the CMS, as well.

I sort of agree with you. It's closer to a CFX.

Similar to mine but I'm using a scx chassis. My front axle is at beef tubes prototyping I bet you guys can guess.

I have the same body with Mad Moose portals and a Ascender chassis. Work in progress but coming along.

Can't wait to see what they do for your axle...
