Default Keeping up with the times,,,

First off,,i would like to send out a HUGE THANKS to Tom from RC4WD for making this possible,,,back before christmas i had messaged Tom via email regarding my plans to build a new super with the Super Bully XLD axle's with the 65-1 case's,,at that time RC4WD didnt offer the XLD's with the 65-1 case's.. after a few emails Tom was more than willing to help me out with a set of XLD's with 65-1 case's.. so again,, THANK YOU SO MUCH Tom,,,

so after getting the axles i went to work talking with my chassis guy over at TURBO-TECH Customs regarding a chassis,,i was hoping i would be able to use my EVIL-1 chassis he had made for my shafty super as seen in the past,,TURBO had felt that the EVIL-1 would be perfect for an M.O.A based rig and I would be ok,,so I kept it,,,
specs,,,
axles = RC4WD 65-1 XLD's
chassis = TURBO-TECH Customs EVIL-1
tires and wheels = Super Beast's on Hpi Tremmors,, narrowed Meat Grinders on Hpi Tremmors,, narrowed Plow boys on Hpi Blast's,,or narrowed ss Plow boy's on Hpi Blasts
links = TURBO-TECH Customs high clearance lower links,,Traxxas uppers all with Revo or Jato ends
steering = TURBO-TECH Customs Super Bully Steering arms with ROCKHUMPER ends ( made for XLD's )
servo mounts = Ripper777 ( waiting on the mail )
shock's = Hpi
hex's = 17mm associated Rc8t with 10mm off set
servos = JR 8711's for now,, ( will be upgrading when funds replenish them selves )
esc's = dual FXR's
motors= 35t Tekins
bec = castle pro
tx-rx = 4pk
pics of roller=

Good lookin build there Dez. I tried a set of those tires out this last weekend. They are half pins and half plowboy and they seemed to work real nice. I had to get used to the ground clearance though, I'm used to the 8" tall rovers.

Dez, I'm surprized to see that the SuperShafty is gone too. But still glad to see your SuperBully is coming together so nicely.

Are those the CEN racing wheels? 5"ers. And I'm confused, is it silver, green, purple, or grey between the copper side panels

the wheels are the hpi tremmors,,115mm,,they have a different off set than the blasts,,it gives me a narrower track width by almost 1/2in...plus i like the look of these better...

and yes to the color
