This one's painted pretty weird and trimmed and ready.
All that's left is electronics... haven't decided on a ESC yet.

I think I am going to set up a microswitch "Dig" since I have a three channel going in it.

Cool! I can't wait to see it!

The 2.2 class at this fall's CMRCRC comps will be tough!

There are several new rigs and designs.

by the way...

That's 8" of very controlled flex and 5" of center clearance.

If I go with RedRocks... wow.

You have seen this style before... Take the N out of Stink.

**can't use a "c" in it since it is a fake...

You bought those axles off here. I almost bought those. Looks good. Hey would you have to mod a TQ3 to a 3 way switch with that new dig mod for clods or would the stock switch work?

Stock switch should work. it only needs 2 positions.
I think the other guy used a servo to pull a brush out of the motor.
I am just going to put a microswitch inline to the positive motor wire and have a servo click it on and off when needed.

and yes...the axles and chassis came from Adogg13x. I have made a few minor changes and replaced the hardware.
