62Pyro made them out of stainless steel. They are very nice.

I gave the Jew star ones to Diesel.

Competed in the first comp with it. Had my batteries vent on the first course. Sh1t canned them. Think I am going to go Lipo.

Wasn't too pleased with the half and half tires. Think I am just going to stick with the Moabs. I have a couple of videos I will post but the break over is awesome. Climbed up things that blew my mind. I also think that I am going to limit articulation a little more. Got 9th for the first time out. Some minor tweeking and this thing will be unstoppable.

I really like it very predictable. I would highly recommend it.

Did some changes to the XRC last night. I moved the side boy mounts to the top because they grab into everything. Now with them on top I beveled the sides in for more clearance.

I am going to run a battery pack on top of the front axle instead of on the axle like I have in the past. Just makes it easier to change packs. I finally got to mounting the front set of axle C's and AL knuckles. Don't know why I waited so long. These things are bad a$$ and save you a lot of problems.

I will post up some more pics this evening.

Im sure you have seen the fatrock standup front servo mount. That setup is real nice as far as changing batts. Plus you can run stick packs if you want. Just a thought.

the upright front servo mount is really cool, i usually run packs on my front servo mount, but the upright servo mount will lower the battery about 1/2 in. I want to get that mount.
Oh yeah, great job on the build, looks awesome, like the dodge body!!

Hopefully I will be running the BTA steering so I don't know if I can still use the servo mount with Daves setup.

We will see.

Now I would have pinned you for being a jew but not even knowing what day they go to synagogue cracks me up even more and blows that idea out of the water.

I wanted goats heads in the pentagrams but apparently that was a tall order to fill.
