Sorry, work had me traveling quite a bit. The rig did extremely well on its first outing.

I’ll get some better shots of the portals for you on the next round.
Thanks for the compliments as well!

Excellent choice on the VFD trans!

Nice magazine pics!

Very cool UMG build. I am doing the same with my UMG kit. Only thing left is the body and rear links for the short WB, its a VS4-10 otherwise.

Your build makes me want to finish it!

Watching the Williams run around Austin just now with my lady and and her good friend Claire Williams—-we sure miss that Martini livery, lol. Your build is just soooo cool—- Your helmeted driver with his astounding English jaw just got passed all around the party on my tablet. Totally inspiring.

Portal rear looks great! Nice job.

Notice a performance difference with the VFD trans and new rear axle?

He sells complete link sets specifically for the UMG10 in 11.4" and 12" WB.

I just bought the 11.4" WB set. We'll see how those work out.
Will a set of 11.4" WB links also work with TRX4 axles to get the right WB for a UMG10 body?

It should get you really close. Are you running the axles on a VS4-10? And if so, what transmission/skid plate?

I only have the TRX4 axles and VS4-10 chassis kit. Still trying to figure out which transmission. Just started to search the forum in detail.

I've been comparing various transmissions/skid plates and their output shaft locations from online manuals and underbody images. I can't seem to find a pdf of the VS4-10 instruction manual. I have located all of the other online manuals.

So, I got this little kit from Bill Peacock. He has printed a reverser adapter for the back of the Pro transmission.
Essentially it allows a rear portal install without all the cutting and gearing changes. Works with the overdrive kit as well.
Took me about 1 hr to undo all I had previously done for the rear only portal. Less than 10 minutes to install his kit.

I’ll be trail testing down at USTE and report back.

I’ll be bringing my VSUMG410 to USTE as well, hopefully we can meet up and run some trails.

That's a great looking truck! I love the black and silver wheels on it too.

Awesome! If in doubt I’ll be at the reefs RC area I’m sure.
