I couldn't tell from the pictures... what are you using for the drive shafts? Does the Junfac kit come with extended dog bones?

Yes they do. I'm going to try and convert them to Traxxas Stampede or TMaxx Shafts...There's a way to do it but I've got to find the info. I've read it somewhere on here just got to do a search again. I run Pede Shafts on my D90...work really well!

Thanks! Once I get it done I'm gonna teach her how to drive the Sh!t out of it and break as much stuff as she can. She's 11 so she catches on quick. She's been playing with 1/18th Nylints and some Tamyia buggies so now she'll get to learn how to crawl with a hobby grade!

Thanks guys for the comments and for the link Chivas. I finally got all the electronics for it and got everything put in. I also got the suspension tuned so now she's running the set up I mentioned in the beginning with 50 weight oil. Works good! Here are some pics of the mayden voyage. I also got to run it in the back yard while she was gone this weekend and I'll be posting pics of that shortly. Man this truck is fun to drive! I thru the one in with the smoke just b/c it looks pretty cool IMO.

Here's some pics from the Backyard Course. It does pretty well on the rocks. My track is not too hard but it's a little challenging...I've got to add more to it.
