Yeah, because all of the shipping companies and USPS are so open on Sundays, yep.....

No shipping service accepts or delivers on Sundays, you should know that. Unless its high priority Next Day or 1 Day shipping through UPS and FedEx, nothing happens with shipping on Sundays. Don't play stupid.



And the Matrix is looking great Ben! That body is going to look amazing on there.

Post #432 on page #29 I can't believe the electronics can take all that snow!!! So you just let it melt? I know the MMM is sealed but dang...

[brushlessboy16]

The mmm is not sealed, Its mounted up high and its radiant heat melts any snow that comes into contact with ti

Well its sealed but the fan is not. At least I know that the V3 is.

I thought melted snow turns into water......

Anyway it seems to be holding up and that makes me more confident in mine.

its not sealed.... there are holes on all sides of the case but the bottom.

The board the board is sealed.

[brushlessboy16]

is it?

The Monster Max will be silicone conformal coated and will have a full case, however, it does have a fan -- so it will not be submersible. It will be water resistant.

Nice truggy ben!

Thanks, My order finally arrived!!!! Its a hell of a lot of stuff, im heading out to the shop now to start working, pics will be up tonight.

Well here it is in all its glory.


I had to put Outdrives and seals in my center diff, and came to find this.. a broken crosspin, Last rebuild i had noticed alot of wear on them but thought nothing of it, glad I bought some new pins from amain.




-Screw kit, Well worth what I paid for it, all hardened steel screws, and literaly every screw i need for the truck.


-wheels and tires, Hats off to AKA, the tires were immaculate from the factory, no burrs on the bead- they were perfect! Came in ziplock resealable bags Also the foams are a very stiff Closed cell type, I drilled vent holes in my rims but dont really hear air coming out when i squeeze the tire...Oh well. Nex up are the Rulux Half-ups in standard offset, also very well made- No burrs any where, or knicks or scratches.





Next up is the body... And boy is there a story behind it..... While painting my first layer of purple pearl, i left the body outside in the sun for literally 5 minutes to let the paint tack up, In that time it went from being sunny and clear to raining! Rain effed up one of my side graphics.... Secondly the tape i used is CRAP! Never use tamiya masking tape it does not stick well to lexan... you can tell where the tape was not stuck by all the bleed marks... Overall Im not too happy with the paint...






Body just sitting on the truck.
