Wow! Nice work. This is looking good and I can only imagine how awesome the finished product will be.

these little tabs will support the rear fenders and will have velcro attached to them so when the fender takes a hit it will stick itself back down

this build is great. i am doing something with a slash front end, and an axial axle out back. just wondering if you were going to have to make custom shafts for this, and if so how did you do it? when i set mine up with the axial transmission, i realized that the wheelbase is stretched and now need ot make some custom driveshafts to compensate for the new distance. thanks for the help.(ive been looking at other traxxas shafts to see if i can get the right dimensions. but no luck. 5 and 1/4 in. at ride height is hard to find, especially with enough room for wheel travel on a trophy truck like this)

Looks great, how much is this bad boy weighing? I love my blitz but it would be neat to run one with a little more weight to it.

From seeing your other work I know when it is finished it will be clean.

I got to see this truck in person over the weekend and it is really sweet! Can't wait to see it all painted up and running. Nice work!

I havent weighed it yet but so far it kinda feels like a nitro vehicle if that makes sense
