Looks good. Only thing I would change would change would be the wheels I have those on mine and have started striping out the wheel hexes.

Nice truck I think there should be a sub forum for cast and machined axles... They're two very different machines |

When I got mine I thought it'd flop over easy, but with 3.5 inches of clearance it sidehills as good as my droop shafty does. | |

| Yeah I even took a set of Axial wheel hexes and drilled them out to fit the Bullies and they still striped. I filled the wheels with jb weld to see if that will help but I will not know for sure I left the rg at home for now.

those scaler shocks are junk! i ran them. i hated them. with stock springs. soft spring and no springs they all suck. i even nodded the top caps for revo ends....still sucked. they look cool tho. like a real like white rocket. |

tried it on my back yard rock pile, overall it worked pretty damn good. Taking it out to vasquez next weekend should be able to get a good feel for them then.
