Yup. Hey, I have a Hyper ST question, when you're assembling the steering system, that "nut" you have to tighten on with that spring you're pushing against, how do you do that when the force of the spring is pushing against you?

Get me back into RC!

I use both hands when trying to apply force to the nut...

You can hold the lower part in a vise and then you can push the nut on with one hand and turn it with the other. That is how I have always done it. I do not have much feeling in my hands, as I burnt them very badly on a barbeque grill as a child...

Got the emaxx tranny together and fabbed up some mounts for it. I also modded some revo driveshafts for the center drives. Used some of mike's 8mm pinion adapters to mate the revo sliders to the xtm diff. Everything fit together well and she rolls now!

I also had to trim the chassis to fit the motor and tranny. Note the extra 4 shocks where the canteliver links used to be. This truck has alot of articultion, and no binding! I still need to make the linkages and servo mount for the rear steering, and wire it up.
