The next batch is almost ready - this round they are getting a hard anodize and are at the anodizer now. :)

Thanks for the update Mike! I was out racing at the track today and the 2.2 gladiators really wanna make the truck do back flips in the air. I managed to land a few of them over the jumps too

The small crowd thought it was great.

finally some good news, hey mike reply to my email am

(its about the medusa 36-50 and the new chassis)

Snipin_Willy · 10.15.2008, 06:51 PM

O.K. I gotta ask: Does anyone have any idea what color they are going to be, or is there going to be a choice?

mambarustler · 10.15.2008, 07:26 PM

i think it's gonna be the same color as the ofna stock chasis. but dont take my word for it am just guessing.

Generally hard annodized is the copper-ish color that the stock chassis is.

I'm getting back onto this project. Order a RCM chassis. I'd like to get a good Lipo next. Do the Zippy Lipo's fit in the battery box?

magman · 03.24.2009, 08:47 PM

I believe they will fit in the lg. boxes Mike sells...I had a custom one made specific to my Zippy batts. IMO it is well worth the extra 12- for a tight fit for a custom tray...just my 2cents worth

Snipin_Willy · 03.24.2009, 09:08 PM

One of the few pieces I need to get this thing ready is a new body and body post. Is there anything out there that is a better choice than the factory plastic body posts? I don't really wanna order another tree of plastic parts when all I really need is a few body post.

magman · 09:21 PM

I use these...just cut off the long posts.. then cut to the right length and drill a new hole to mount to the tower. I also use one of these in the rear

I'm using this CEN Racing 1/8 body mount on the rear: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/11213

I use the stock mounts on the front, but put them behind the shock tower. They have lasted a very long time behind the tower.

Snipin_Willy · 03.25.2009, 05:38 PM

Yeah mine were fine until I decided to run with the body off. I tapped the brakes and it went literally head over heals and tore one off.

Snipin_Willy · 03.27.2009, 08:45 PM

New body post are in transit, RCM chassis is in transit, picked up a 1/8 generic wing at the shop, and I joined the Mamba Monster Club today =p. MM will be my back up.
