Those Claw chassis are ugly, I would never buy one. Especially w/ yellow axles like Unholy's! |

Sorry, it was a joke.  I also run the Claw chassis (that's mine in the pic) and my buddy Unholy has a set of Clod axles that are yellow and I give him a bad time about them.  |

| Did you paint the axles yourself, or did you buy them that way??? I bought some Clod axles a few months ago that looked very similar to that, painted yellow with the same skid plates... Different knuckles though. After I sold the skids to a friend of mine, I built a rig with the yellow axles and ended up selling it to Unholy. Now he has the 'Stink Bug'. And like he had to point out, I have to point out... I bought the axles painted like that. With that yellow color, make sure to paint the body to compliment. |

 But no point in doing it yet untill something breaks. Wow, I just realized that there are currently three member that own/have owned the same axles in this thread.. (most likely that is.) | |
