Yes he does. The DCS from DMG should be promising. Some great craftmanship went into this chassis. Ill run it as is then put a little AKRCC flavor into the mix.

Thanks to you! These damn wheels were so hard to find. Each set was from oposite side of the country, lol. I listened to 666 and narrowed them down to 1.5". David's Plowboys from XRC should be a nice addition.

It LOOKS pretty sweet but does she perform is what im hoping for . I really didnt want to throw a bunch a money at it and hope she does well. I think with a decent set up and lots of rock time, ill be alright.

Thx for the comments guys.

Small update:

Well... had some time and put together at least the axles lol. Heres what they consist of.

RC4WD Auminum Axle Tubes
RC4WD Aluminum Gear Cases
RC4WD HD Aluminum Gears
RC4WD HD Aluminum Spools
RC4WD Aluminum Steering Kit
RC4WD Aluminum Servo Mounts
RC4WD Stainless Steel Hardware
ACER Complete Ceramic Bearing Set
JPCustoms HD JP Knuckels
Thunder Tech Racing MIP CVDs
Thunder Tech Racing 14mm Aluminum Hex Adapters
JunFac "GHOST" Skull Upper Link Mounts
ROCKSMITH ENG Gear Jelly

Sorry for the crappy pics. No lightng where I was at.



The axles went together pretty smoothly. Feels like butter when turning them over. No need for adjustable mount either, the cases had them built in already. The thick dust covers were a nice touch. JPs knuckels are super beefy, they look like they can handle a lot of load. The skull mounts look pretty sweet imo. Lots of extra hardware that came with it aswell. I still have to pick up the correct size button heads for the lower set screws. It looks like those will be the first to get hung up imo.

Just waiting on the 1/2 Delrin Lowers and 3/8" Uppers to get me to a roller. Time to order up some electronics. Still wondering if im going to go brushed or brushless. I was thinking either:

OPTION A: 2 FXR's 2 HH Pro Wound Tourqe Master 55T's w/ 2 CC BECs

or

OPTION B: 2 BM16's or Crawlmasters, 2 MMs or 2 Quarks....

Still up in the air. More and more I think about it Im thinking of swinging towards brushed for the smoothness and start up but then again I think about how much extra tourqe/wheel speed im going to need when this is all said and done.

Il be running RC4WDs HD "Long" Steel 6T Pinions when its ready.

I like the looks of RC4WD's gear cases. Looks like they smoothed out all of the screw bosses. Should be pretty mean looking.
