Hot bodies 1/8 diffs

Well cmac I got the arms, motor mount, skid plate, hub adapters all ordered and they should ship today (Fri). They're also taking care of The bulkhead that I snapped a bolt of in. They normally don't do that they told me. This was before I dropped 200.00 in parts so I'm happy, they're happy and its all good. I've dealt with that lady there on a few different occasions and she always treats us rc guys good from what I've experienced and heard myself.

With your bada#* car you have you've went and set the bar so high I'm going to have To really do some thinking. Knowing me I'd make it a shelf queen cuz I have 2 more maxxes and probably another in parts here and that don't include the 3 old 3906 emaxx trucks. I have others as well that are feeling neglected also including a traxxas rad rc car.

Well I finally got some time to work on the truck again. I have mounted the servos ran all the wiring. I have also trimmed the body and reamed the mounting holes. All I have left is to paint the body and solder Traxxas ends onto the batteries. I will try to post pics soon.

[cmac]

Body done. All I have left to do is solder the Traxxas ends onto the Gens Ace batts and I'm done. I still need to get some time to take some pictures. I hope to a little later tonight.

wow what a truck I have been reading this build its awesome, I am going to take a couple tips from this. Great build

[cmac]

Thank you for the compliment. I will have the final build pictures up this week. I hope to have some first test runs this weekend and I will post some videos on Youtube. Stay tuned.....

[swiftneed]

I am goin to go with a blue scheme with hardcore parts if they work

[cmac]

That should look awesome. I really wanted some hardcore ti front and rear skid plates, I went with some ti plates that I found on Ebay and they seem to be good. The fit and finish works well with the overall look of the truck.

Can't wait to see the finalized pics. Be sure to get pics of every angle.

Ok guys,
here they are. The pictures that I promised. I still have not put a gear on the motor,( or rotated the motor per Neils advise)but the truck is more or less done. I still have to solder the Traxxas ends on my batt's and take it for a shake down run. I hope to do that this weekend. I have a lot of pics so here goes......
