the body is ready for the last coat of backer paint...i also got the esc's mounted in the chassis and the wires run to the receiver box. i figured out i goofed when assembling the shocks so ill have to take them apart when i get home. tonights looking like its gonna be a solder-fest at my place. i was trying to decide how to hook the battery up to both esc's since they use pre installed wires. i think im gonna run both wires from both esc's to one deans plug to match up with the battery. the only other way would be to cut one set of leads from one esc short and splice them into the wires from the second esc and then run one set to a deans. that just seems like a lot of extra work and unnecessary cutting to accomplish the same thing.

Well I guess I'll tear my berg down and put my new super 300 3rd gears in since everybody else is building and rebuilding.

Is yours set up where the skid is sloping down towards the rear? If not, how do you have it set up...I've tried several things and I can get it level, but I was hoping for a little bit of an upslope towards the rear. I guess I'll have to get busy making some links...delrin store here I come!

this may be one of those things where they made "adjustments" just to get the shot they wanted...but im wondering how they got the body on the one in the advertisements to sit so low...my front body post is all the way down and if you rotate the shock towers all the way up it will interfere with the body and prevent it from going any lower. i think mine is fine where ive got it and it will actually be a little lower after i actually put holes in it to sit it down on the body posts. i did convert the rear body posts to the single version like the front the way that Harley did his
