Status: offline 		Excellent choice, that's the best all-around MM for general bashing IMO. I got the CRP front end and it's the good stuff, high-grade nylon with adjustable eccentrics for fine-tuning the camber. I plan to set up the body-mount rods and other braces tonight, had to wait for the CRP stuff before I did any cutting/drilling so everything would fit together right. I may post pics along the way, if anyone cares to see them.

Status: offline 		I like the 4600, I have one in my Kyosho Blizzard, it just doesn't have as many power-handling options as the 5700. I shall post pics as soon as I have something starting to look like a Lunchbox put together.

Status: offline 		Does anyone remember a post number/page for the lunch box with the light kit wiring?

Also, I got my oil shocks in, installed and I am trying to figure out how to use a replaced stocker for the 5th shock. How did you guys run it? Did you cut a hole up top for the shaft to pop out? I have the extra U shaped mounts in hand as well but they are only for the lowers

Also what do I do with the rear LED's since they have no light bucket? Just hot glue thm in side ways or directly?

why not...powering an 4600 will let you go pretty high in rpm

Lolz...the clear ice maker tubing being used for the body mounts (not working so well at the moment) let the LED shine through!
