will be adding more pics soon

Lookin' good, what chassis braces are those? I have been looking for some for my matrix :).

Also does the rcm mount work with the buggy spur gear?

if you don't mind me asking which braces are you refering to? the red chassis brace towards the rear? i'm using gene hickerson front and rear turn buckles and ackerman plate just thought you like to know! the center diff is from a matrix R2 its the plastic case i had no fitment issues at all direct bolt in got it from the bay for under $20 theres one on there right now better thn dealing with the old diff i took it all apart took the grease out and added 10k associated silicone fluid should be better the grease i hope??

like to add i'm using the resivoir shocks 50 AE front and 45 AE rear stays pretty planted at my track hope its the same after the diff oil changes gona have to learn to drive it again been a long winter!!!!!!

just a side note thunder tiger ST-1 side guards fit the matrix truggy have to make 6 holes in the chassis but well worth having those on there!! also ofna hyper st fit too but i liked how the st-1 guards had a raised portion towards the front of it keeps alot of stuff out kind of a pain to get the steering servo out but not that bad

and by chassis braces i meant chassis side guards... sorry about that... how do they fit under the stock body? I have a set of Hyper st mud guards but they are a bit too narrow for my liking.

with my stock body the st-1 guards fit tight but works well i'm currently working on a jconcepts kyosho ST-RR body had a few litment issues but i'm working those out the mugen body fits well

update: i finnished my new lid today took me 2 days lots of work has a few bleeds and runs here and there but i did all the work and color selection what do you think?

Looks good!, but why do you have it mounted so far forward?matches the wheels and wing, now you need to de-anodize those camber links :lol:

it's sits that far forward because of the rear mounting location the body mount is already up against the "bed" section tried to get it further back but couldn't the fit is ok i can deal with it! i used the blue pulls on the body clips to tie the blue stuff in LOL lowered the rear mount also to give it that raked look!

I had done the rear body mount mod, but its not needed with the r1 body :)
looks good reguardless

got a chance to paint your lid? i wanted the r1 body but changed my mind when i found out he wasnt making anymore so i went with the st-rr body instead

No, I have not gotten my order from amain... :(
i managed to find one R1 body :) yay jhautz!

got some new stuff recently and more today! got 2 used reedy lipos 5000 mah 7.4 2s and my hobbywing 150a came in today thing is huge!!! it's mounted on a plate i made where the fuel tank used to be! i moved te motor mount so the motor will be behind the steering servo and took out 1 battery tray gonna run 2 batteries in the same tray should still be a nice set up providing i can figure the ESC out that is has decent instructions at least
