Upright installed with outer hex drive in place. The hex drive is held in place by a drive pin, the o-ring holds the drive pin in place. These hex drives work with the stock clod wheels.

You got a pic of the stock hex drive? Is it a plastic one? If that's the case, the TT CVD came w/ this aluminum hex drive, make it a even better deal!

The stock hex drive is brass, smaller and fits into the hub.

Looks like the front will be a half inch wider on each side. Better for stability I guess.

I need to do some more adjusting on the servo and links to get them a bit closer to parallel.

Looks very beefy. Thundertech has definitely done their homework.

Maybe flip the servo upside down so the servo horn is lower.. you will need a way to route the cable for the servo, but other than that, it should be pretty ideal..

Just a wild suggestion, I don't know how easy it is to route the cable..

Stage two of the Mass Hysteria paint project. I used Spaz Stix paint systems, it is a three part application. This is the first two steps.

A pre-prep spray that gives a surface for the color change spray to hold on to.

Second is the color change spray, the entire can is required for this step, man my finger is tired..[:'(]

The colors are Blue/Purple/Red, none being dominate.

Hard to see, but a little on the edge. The body would be perfectly clear otherwise, step two gives the foggy appearance.
