that's awesome dude. my brother got shipped back out to the Middle East for the 4th time just after thanksgiving. I really hope he'll come back safely. cool fact: his unit was the unit to escort the guys who captured Sadam Hussein after they captured him.

This looks pretty good.... I wonder if the diffs will hold up though they don't look to strong?

Those differentials have heavy internal ribbing and reinforcements, more so than the TLT-1, Clodbuster, or Hi-Lift.

I think that would highly depend on your usage. Maybe Jason would be the better source to ask.

Very nice build. I'm digging the kit! Looks like it'll be fun, and with some tweaking, a neat scaler. Are those leaf spring pads I spy on the axles?

i agree with the guys not liking the axles, they are going to be as wide as high lifts, that's bad for scale builds

also the link mounts make the whole thing to look like anything else but a truck axle

love the spring locking system dough, and chasis rails should be nice for scale builds

Here's mine. Only disappointed with the plastic beadlocks and dinky sized drive shafts(almost same size with the AX-10). Tamiya should just opted for steel dogbones instead.

I like these tires. Feels good and soft and has some big lugs. But what do I know? I'm just a nobody.

Tamiya is nice enough to put a new set of spare driveshafts together w/ the kit. I wonder why???

cause people crawl with their trigger finger

torque + power + throttle = snap... on any rig.
