I'd go AX10 all the way. The axles can be picked up cheap and the aftermarket stuff is huge and if you needed anything made, i'd have an easier time knowing I can make it for my rig.

Once I get my "comp" rig off to Florida, and im not running around like crazy, I want to get my "scaler" going also, im still debating what to do but I got some ideas... [8D]

Ill definitly look into it but it wont be in the super near future, outdoor season is right around the corner so things are about to be hectic here!

rc4wd makes some real nice scale stuff http://store.rc4wd.com/

if i had the dough, i would love to build a 1.55 f350 tow rig with a late model dirt track car and open trailer with tire rack.

calvino

My personal experience with RC4WD stuff is... 50/50... my aX came with a pair of their rims and those stupid things couldn't hold a bead to save their life [:'(] they do sell cool stuff but comeon Moron... its more fun to MAKE the rig your self

PS: you got Facebook

Lunchboxer

Went to see Fast Five tonight.. ha!

Looks like there will probably be a F&F 6..

DarkFire989

So I guess Osama is dead? Just stating. NOT GETTING POLITICAL

Lunchboxer

Yeah, saw the news.. ha!

Ttam Says Blarg

I didnt want to say anything. lol all I have to say is about time!

cumquat

frames i can do. axles, tires, rod ends, and shocks on the other hand...
i cant make the wheels either, but nether can you (stamped steel). i probably could make a makeshift 2 or 3 speed transmission using various pinions/spurs if i tried but that would take more work than i care to do (hand making everything with a dremel, bench grinder and drill press).

Lunchboxer

The Lounge is slow today.. anyone else seen the Fast Five yet?!

Eman needs to watch the first 4 first, though...

kaiser01

it's not real high on my list of "must see movies". lol

the only reason i'll watch it on dvd is becasue dwayne johnson is in it.

i did watch ip man 2 this weekend. insane kung fu movie, also a very well made film.

i also got a start on the rc8be body. center section is under way.

going for a cliff lett of ae fame paint scheme.

took my 1.75 year old son for two hikes this weekend, he did them all by himself other then a few areas where i held his hand.

he also caught sight of the rc8be, so i had to let him have a look. he spent an hour looking at all the intricate working parts and said "WOW!" a lot. lol
he loves to look at anything with wheels. thats my boy!

Lunchboxer

Have you seen Ip Man 1?

kaiser01

of course, you?

Lunchboxer

Yes, I have seen both.. I only asked cause I thought the first one was a little bit better.. how about you?

kaiser01

i loved them both, very much. i am a huge donnie yen fan, IMHO he can do no wrong. lol

the first one was a more historical drama, whereas the second is a kick you teeth in wing chun fest.

there is a 3rd, the legend is born, but donnie's not in it. infact he said he will not do anymore films about ip man.
he feels that the two are enough and they are only loosely based on the life if ip man.

the chinese film industry is really kicking it up a notch, they are making so many damn good films.

i've watched ip man so many times i don;t even need subtitles anymore. lol, cool way to learn chinese.

some films on my must see list:

14 blades
legend of the fist, the return of chen zhen
thirteen assasins

not to mention the 1000's of older films that we here in the states are just getting good access to.

donnie yen and sammo hung are awesome, tony jaa ain't bad either but he's not 1/2 the actor the other too are (yes i know he's thai, but they are also making very good films lately, see chocolate)
i'm also a big fan of chow yun-fat.

Lunchboxer

LOL.. Sammo is old skool.. he was "classmate" of Jacky Chan.. they were all in the same Chinese opera training school..

I also like the really silly ones.. like Stephen Chow's movies.. lol.. some are very retarded but good time.. like Adam Sandler movies.. ha!!

kaiser01

he's the one that did king fu hustle right & shaolin soccer? funny stuff.

jackie's getting old to me though, always the same guy. it's like he never got out of the druken master role.

DarkFire989

New Lambo!

[link]http://jalopnik.com/#!5797629[/link]

Lunchboxer

Yeah, but he was famous before those movies.. (non-Kung Fu related stuff..) Very silly stuff.. like Jim Carrey / Adam Sandler stuff.. !

Lunchboxer

Yeah, the new Lambo is sweet for sure.. I like the direction that they chose to go.. lighter weight (using CF tub) and not necessarily more power.. but not like 700hps is not enough.. ha ha!!

DarkFire989

First Boss 302 Mustang is being put on the auction block.

Lunchboxer

Wait, is this the same one that was on Jalopnik before??

So the guy is flipping it now??

DarkFire989

Yeah hes getting rid of it so he can buy another one and not feel ashamed of ruining a piece of history.

Lunchboxer

Then he should sell it for what he paid for then... hee.. !

So Osama was taken down, eh?! Animated version already.. crazy.. ha!
