Well yesterday I got the long side shaft cut. I chopped it with an air grinder ground down a flat spot into it then drilled it like before... My driveshafts are at much better angles now.

well after building a dig setup and running it, i can see its usefullness but not in the shape mine is in right now, i just kinda threw it together for the weekend to build the werock course and im not happy with it right now. with a little more work ill have it dialed and more useful. ill get pics up as soon as i get home.

ok update time....

i ditched that mamba/hyperion setup for a quark revolver (the best crawler brushless system EVER)..... never again will i own a mamba esc, i hate those fawking things. if you like them, cool! atleast you're happy, but i cant stand the damn things.

i built a dig setup, i made up the parts to lock the rear end but got lazy and decided to try just disconnecting it. i can see the usefulness, but i wasnt pleased with it. it has potential, ill be revisiting this one...

no video yet, this weekend at the werock event ill get some for sure. i dont like all the noise the mamba makes and it doesnt start as smoothly as the revolver/quark... the quark is easier to control at low speeds.
