No,I have a Thing with getting as much stuff from my LHS.I do this to the point where I have to wait longer.I work for family owned,I don't now about small, business.I broadcast to buy from family owned so not to be a hippacrit,I get my parts local.

your flex is right on par with a 2.2. Awsome job man!

just becareful with those pede wheels, if you bind up the tires the hexes will stip out. I found that the hard way, then again you would never have a problem.

I ground down the smaller lip.The whole hex is inside.Had to use 4 washers to get the wheels tight.Also,thanks for compliment.I need to spend time and clean off table,weekend thrash session is over.I'll pry get the land cruiser done this week.Have 2 flame jobs to kick out though.

After a couple days of messing around,looks like I'll have 60 to 85 minutes of battery.The setup is a Novak Superduty XL with stock motors.I wired the speedo in series so I can run on 1 pack.The battery I'm using is an Orion 4800mah lipo.Works great.Still waiting on lathe motors and Axial wheels.

Added Axial Beadlocks today.It is hitting around 12 1/4" wide.Take a look

Need the good looking rings.I'll order them tomorrow.
I stopped by LHS today.Picked up some Team Cobra body mounts for the rear.I needed longer ones for Landcruiser body.Should get that mounted this weekend.I'm thinking of something flat black.Also,thinking of American Flag but,wouldn't look good on a Toyota.lol.
I bought a used TQ3 radio the other day,Waiting on that.Picked up an ASSOCIATED battery tray today.Zip ties are history.
