Checked your build thread... I see what you mean ;)

Still your running a rather heavy truck with pretty heavy wheels. The XL was designed to run with Terra pins at worst. Hopefully the axles in my XL size conversion with 40 series mashers will be ok

After toying with the different parts today trying to figure out a feasible setup with regards to weight distribution (CoG and front/rear) I realized that my biggest problem with this build is the swizz cheese standard TVPs. Im missing material in the wrong spots! So I contacted a new Euro RC custom products supplier and got a quote for XL TVPs with no cut outs. Only holes for bulk head mounting pre made.
Initially I figured Id go with 5mm TVPs and cut them low to enhance the low CoG layout... but it turns out Alza can also supply them in 3,2mm carbon fibre... what to do :)
