| One 'Pede tranny, just for the test fitting. The final product will have an FLM billet tranny, aluminum idler, steel yokes, and hardened steel differential... to better support 14.4v brushless power... |

| Hey cool. So my idea of using the tubes in the front worked out.  Looks damn good DJ. Congrats on the sandrail radishkid, those things are a lot of fun. |

|  Looks good! Glad you like it.There is a new design in the lightbars so the tabs were not needed.This rack will mount to the top of the rail.Trick is all I can say! I'll be checking in on these builds.Thanks Radish! |

Now I know...haha mine is at the powder coated. I got a good theme for it speaking of light bars   I cant wait to see yours run on 14 volts  Mine wont be doing that probably like 8 cells on a BL will be plenty power for me.MIke | |

| Update! Nearly 5" front suspension travel! I opted for my own variant of front suspension and steering mounts. Things are kind of cramped but I'm working my way around it. Last edited by radishkid; 07-15-2006 at 03:04 PM. |

| Finished for the night 7/15 Well, I shimmed the front suspension mounts with 3/16 x .028" K&S stainless steel tubing. To do so I had to shave the arms quite a bit, but they're now 100% slop free. |

| The top mount is out of .032 thick aluminum sheet. The servo is mounted directly to this. It is very clean and functional, held in place by 5 small zip ties. |

| Mamba Max Arrived... Well, a few things happened over the past few weeks. My frame went out to the powder coaters. I got married after 6 years. I went on a trip, had a birthday, and this special order showed up from my hobby shop, the owner is now way interested in crawlers... I can't decide whether or not to schmuck it off on eBay or install it as soon as I can. Specs: Mamba c36 7700kV 2c LiPo or 8cells NiMh This rail's gonna fly... |

| Watch your heat very carefully with that motor, it is a pig on the amp draw. I would have recommended the 4600 combo for that rig. FnA though, that ride looks sweet. |
