Hey Chris, let me know how you want to get together so I can give you the body.

Thanks,

Probably this sunday will be the best time for me. Sat. Is my youngest daughter's first b-day, so that day's completely shot for me.

Otherwise, I MIGHT be able to get into Omaha tonight but that might be a bit of a stretch.

BTW, do you have a controller for it yet? I've got a BRAND NEW never used Traxxas 2-channel sitting here you could use...

Yes, I've got a radio and receiver from a Slash that was never used. Thanks!

Well right now, the Grappler is still at Gerame's shop. If you want me to bring it to you on Sunday, just let me know. I will be teaching at Dillon Brother's Harley until about 4 or 4:30 pm on Sunday.

Thanks again,

I don't know at the moment. I think we will have all of the major parts after I pick up the trans and driveshafts from Tom tomorrow. I will let you know if there's something that we end up needing.

Thanks for the support!

Thanks to all of the contributions and good build evening on Friday we have made great progress on the build. It now has custom chassis plates, Eritex Rocker wheels, anodized axial links, and a straight axle in the rear. It is really looking great!







Thanks a lot guys!!!!!!!

I actually drove it last night! I still have a little work to do. I'm trying to decide if I should cut the wires going to the motor from the ESC and solder them on. This would shorten them quite a bit, because I could take the leads off the motor. I'm also thinking that I should put a Tamiya plug on one of my 2/3 packs and mount it to the rear servo plate. Rather than having a huge stick pack mounted on top. Of course, I could leave it alone and let whoever buys it do the modding. What do you guys think?

I'll actually be listing the truck on eBay after I get the pictures back (probably Monday)

I'll have to look for sure to see what I have left over. I'm pretty sure there are two sets of Axial beadlocks and two sets of Axial Rock Lizard tires. There is also an Axial Betty body, unpainted with no stickers or window masks.

Plus, he knows what he's doing!

Someone has come forward and offered to pay the shipping and insurance for this auction!

You can now ignore the $26.50 in shipping. This item will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail with insurance for FREE! I will send you a corrected invoice after the auction ends.

The donations and support that I have received are awesome!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks again for all of the support guys! This has been truly awesome! I am very proud to call you guys friends!

The truck has met the reserve of $400 and now has about one day to go.

I truly cannot say thank you enough. I was talking to my Aunt on the phone Sunday night and she is overwhelmed by your generosity.
