Thanks!


And how did you bend that?! It looked really solid in those pictures you have of it, how thick is it? And what grade of aluminum is it?

Small update, got my MGT torn down, waiting on my new chassis. Going to do some mods to the new one right after I get it, including countersinking the holes for the mud guards so I can use flat head screws, so I won't have to put pieces of velcro over the screws to protect the LiPos like I did with button head screws. I need to find an OEM dog bone for the rear center shaft as well, my current setup is kind of hack and it's getting really sloppy and worn out. I'll have more pictures of it later once I get the new chassis and put it all back together.


EDIT: Found the perfect pair of OEM dogbones on Nitrohouse.com, it's a front and rear center set for the Hyper 9 1.0, and they are both exactly the length I need, 93mm front and 115mm rear, talk about good luck! http://www.nitrohouse.com/catalog/pr...ducts_id=21011 And they have a chrome finish, which doesn't show pitting from rocks like black drive shafts tend to. Going to be ordering those tonight.

Hi
I don't know how I bend it, maybe in the skate-park (a bad place for the truck.....but great for the jump....)
It's a little bending, very little, (don't know how to explain that... ) but my friend say it's better to do it in 8mm, for secure it...
If I remember right it's 2017A (he don't have a 7075T6 in stock and I don't really want to wait too much time )

today I'm gonna make a real ESC support in carbon... I don't trust the zip-tie (and I've got a Traxxas support for hold it )

I've done it







just missing some screw and it can gooooo
