Nice Matt! Those are some bullet proof axles you got there! Lets see some body shots! I bet that baby could drive upside down! |

Matt is one our local contenders that I have to deal with on the Rocks... Hes hard to beat and really knows it stuff. Show them that dam pic with that grappler body on there! It looked like it could drive upside down... |

Great looking rig, I like your tranny mount. The r2d is tight fit on the groove ,I might mount mine that way and keep the bottom clean. Great ideal. |

THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK FELLAS. I LOVE WRENCHIN ON THESE RIGS AS MUCH AS I DO DRIVING THEM. I WAS GOING TO RUN A GRAPPLER BODY AND WANTED TO TRY SOMETHING DIFFERANT SO I MADE A COUPLE OF HEAVY BENDS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BODY. THE BODY ENDED UP BREAKING SO I GUESS YOU LIVE LEARN! NEW BODY ON THE WAY. ] |

I got a chance to drive this thing today in person and it handles better then any shafty ive ever drove very similar to my tuber but much smoother i think after u get that front articulation thing down youll have a unstopable rig and that last pic looks badass! i got the OTA working but i might have to get another aluminum servo horn cause i cut this one even with the tierod and it seems a bit short but we will see - tre |

I love these pics. I love how that body sit SO LOW on that baby. keeps the CG super low and just looks mean. Nice job Matt. Like I said before... looks like that thing could drive upside down! |

| Yes he did, that rig performed awsome on those inddor rocks. I really like the stance as well. The servo mount you did up Matt turned out great. Super straight linkage for some clean engagments. You ever find out who made those wideners?
