really? where does the carbon disc sit on the hub? i swear when i tried the disc was on the round part of the hub and therefore wouldnt work. anyway, i already ordered those uberrc hubs. i found a place that sold them in pairs so i was able to just buy 2 sets of rears.

Dude, that looks dead sexy. I'm not sure about the yellow lid though- I think metallic gray would look great.

go to your cnc shop and ask them to build them. thats done in a few minutes, probably cheaper then buying some. get a 24mm aluminium hex bar and get it drilled.

dammn, I can't wait to see that baby runnin'!

i had thought of doing that but i found some uberrc's on ebay and got them for a decent price and was able to buy 2 rear pairs as needed for this truck instead of having to buy 2 complete sets.

that is crazy, lol. i just picked up some gun metal gray and some lame flake paint at the LHS a couple of days ago. its gonna look sick and match the gun metal wheels but have a nice metallic flake hue to it. i just need to sell these bodies first and then buy the new one.

A great mind and one that has a spark of "oh that might be good" (me) think alike!

That 3/8 aluminum that I got for my new motor mount sure was hell on jig saw bladed. I went through 4!

I have both motor mount cut out and shaped. I drill & tapped 1 last night and I am headed out to do the other one now.

I bench tested my motor and ESC yesterday. The 10S sure did make a hell of a big arc when I hooked it up.
