Appears to be either a Dace or DieMaker Dave wing mount for the VBS towered bulks- I wish you luck finding one of those for sale anywhere...

Yes sir it is. A DD mount and they do fit very nice...

Contact that fella on the UE forum Jerry, he will be able to make you one.

I thank everybody for their comments ! I very much appreciate it!!

Hooked up the steering servo today and it is a Robot servo so it had a Aluminum disc on it instead of a arm. Hooked it up and it will not turn the knuckles very far to one side, instead of extending the link out farther the circle just makes it start to tuck back into the servo limiting the throw. I thought maybe it would have enough but nope! So I have a blue aluminum arm in some Greased Lightning overnight to strip the blue off of it. Waiting on some Black M4 and M5 nuts to come in the mail.

So I got the shoes out to balance and glue up.







Gonna chill out for a few then pop the rubber bands off. Stay tuned.....

Here are some pics outside with her shoes on.









Probably had the biggest freak out moment of the entire build. I had glued the tires up and never ever once looked at the rims and noticed that they are directional. For some reason I thought they were standard pattern but they indeed have a directional pattern to them. I looked and sure enough two were swapped opposite but luckily I was able to swap the rears and I had actually mounted and glued them up the correct way. I was very relieved to say the least!! How much of a bummer that would have been to dis mount them already......

I got the electronics all installed and ready to go. I now need to get a Tekin Hotwire and some different LiPo's. I had traded a set of Clod wheels and tires for a really nice pair of 3S LiPo's specifically for this truck and they are too big. They won't fit under the G1 plate on the one side of the truck so I have to find some that will fit. Or just maybe go with 2S in series for 4S, I even tried all of my 2S packs and none of them will fit as I have all hard case and they are too wide for the cradles. I might even try some 3S LiFe packs for it, I have my eye on some Turnigy ones that look nice but I have to make sure they are going to fit first.

Gear installed :
Spektrum SR3300T
Tekin RX8 ESC
Tekin 2250KV Motor
Hitec HSR-5990TG Servo w/ Lunsford Ti link





I took a Black sharpie to the sides of the slipper pads since these are the high temp ones and with that light vanilla color it stuck out pretty good, now you cannot even see them. I used all black and red wire instead of the factory blue wire that comes with the ESC.

Well I think it is just about finished until testing comes. I have to adjust a little toe on the front end and get some different packs that fit. What a drag the ones I have don't fit.
