I think the pix of this chassis with the axles really helps to show its size.

Great job RC4WD team, this is gonna be the closest thing to a "comp ready" kit available today.

Very nice!

Picturing it with the axles really help put the size in scale.

I have no binding issues anywhere at this point.

Temped a motor in place to check for clearance and had no issues.

Yes its tight but it clears

Im diggin it thus far for sure.

I think I am a little on the short wheelbase side of things using the Revo 5319 links .

I may need to change those out.

By the way the dust cover has to go

Im going to use it as a pattern and cut one from a piece of .040 Lexan.

Works fine and lots thinner.

Id rather see a rubber plug . Like they use on Losi diff covers

Looking good!

Are those side plates angled inward toward the skid?

By chance have you guys got the chassis and links figured out yet for this set-up? (Or close anyway) When I get my V2 bully shafts I will be needing a home for them. I think I am going to give up on the DD chassis. The set-up has fought me the whole way. The DD works fine on Berg axles, but the narrower width of these Bully Axles isnt as good of a match for the DD chassis. (in my opinion) So I itching for a chubby and some links. ***Did I just say "itching cubby"???***:-P
