Ok ok Not to be rude but what do you do for a living do you need help

Stay at home dad and I work like 5 days a month at Hobbytown Folsom. I'm pretty sure I don't need help

Awesome, I'm glad you like it and I totally agree it a must have for any JK kit.

Thank You for the info, I believe VP went with the crossmemeber servo mount rather than the length (Hand Bros style) because it keeps the servo out of the axle way during flex, better servo throw, and crossmember keeps the frame very rigid in the front end. It's a very nice piece, and no need for a aluminium servo stand.

When I look on VP's website I do not see a CMS kit for the scx10. Is this the CMS kit for the wraith? Thanks!

VP does not currently make a CMS kit from the Aluminum SCX10 Axle housing. I did not use the wraith setup because it wouldn't work. What I did with this setup was modified to an old Hand's Bro CMS to make it work. Something I did years ago.

I'm not surprised the blacks are already sold out. You guys gotta remember that hobby stores like RPP probably bought them up before everyone could.

This is literally the best rc build I have ever seen.

But it blows my mind that you hardly take it off road.

Never taken off-road and driven. Only taken off-road for pictures

Picture taken back in May at the famous Corona Del-Mar Beach. Pretty amazing place.

I've beaten on mine with the black rockers, and I date say they look a lot better with some scratches! (Hint hint)

Why in the world would you build such a insane rig and never take it out????? Great build but for it to just sit on a shelf seams like a giant waist of money. Just my .02

I bet they look good even with a few scratches.

To some like yourself it maybe such a waste of money but I have several rig and they have just as much money in them and anyone that knows me the cars I use, I definitely use them. This rig maybe a shelf queen but most of it's life it sits where it's well used in a store setting and comp setting for ideas. It was made to show that a stock looking rig could still be amazing. It has given hundereds of people ideas on how they could build their rig. To me that's pretty valuable.

Last few months it has been sitting in a glass case where hundreds of people see it all the time at my work. No one wants to see a beat up old used car as a show rig that's not my personality.

I apologize if you think my way of thinking is dumb.

This rig inspired me to purchase a set of the same Vanquish wheels and actually introduced me to Vanquish in the first place. I'm just one of probably many examples who saw this and said "I gotta have that!"

That's awesome nsimps, I thank you for the feedback. I'm glad I could help.

Impressive rig! Is that a Dingo in the photo above? Do you have more pictures of that build somewhere?

Thanks,
Steve

Thanks, the dingo is my co-worker's rig, he doesn't go on rccrawler so no build thread...

I love this JK so much, I think I've looked at all the pictures 4-5 times since you started it. "thumbsup"
