Most of the electronics are sitting on my workbench. Just waiting on the castlelink and some free time (stressful job and studying for a big exam). I cant wait to get this thing running. It feels like a looooong time since I bought the parts for the axles from you.

Very nice looking rig, I am starting a 2.2 clod myself next week over spring break. Your telling me about taking a while to build. When I built my super I was totally new to crawling (not R/C) and it took a solid 3-4 months to get it actually comp worthy..... granted thats building paycheck to paycheck.... Good luck running that thing, it looks like it will do fine...

tires look good, how tall? your gonna wanna go ahead and cut off that bolt/mount on the gear case at the rearmost part after the motor, at least on your rear axle. i used to hang up on that little thing all the time when i first built mine. it hangs on rocks when you start climbing up something steep. i dont think its really needed anyways since you have the 2 bolts going through that part to hold the motor on |
