Looks good! One thing though. The spacers go under the rockers and you flip them over with the nuts facing down.

Thanks dude. What can I say? I am Polish, blonde haired, dyslexic, and a former Marine. Don't expect perfection the first time around.

Dont leave out the fact that you are in West Virginia.


I've always admired your rides. This one is certainly no exception.


Looks like she's gonna be a tight ride.

Those arms, Flex Tek's right? Well as the name Flex is definately inherant with these styled arms.

Are you expererincing any excessive hing pin bending? If so I saw a guy make a plate, used a slightly longer hinge pin and captured the pins. Stopped beding ti pins ever since.

Nice looking setup. What do you think it's gonna weigh fully loaded?

I did something similar with my FLM Maxx w/Flex Tek arms to stop the hinge pins from bending....no problems since.

Not sure about the completed weight...I am going to use Axial Oversize beadlock wheels so it will be a little on the heavy side. Originally I was going to go with the CF chassis, but then changed my mind and decided to go AL.

Here are some updates...tires and the steering servo are on the way. After that I will probably hold off on the ESC and motor (hopefully-fingers crossed-MMM will be out in April). If not...I am going with MGM and Neu.

I tried to get some close-ups of the new revo/traxxas wing mount for those considering it. I like it.

Good point! I'm not a native WV...but who knows maybe it's rubbing off on me?

Thanks for the kind words.
