RE: .28 in a funfactor? oh dear....
Good to see the beast is up and soon to be running again.
Quick question, when you were looking at the whole TMAXX axles thing, did you ever take a look at the PBS hubs from the HoBao buggy? I have a bit of a plan, if tjose things will screw into the CEN arms, it will allow the use of HPIs' new 'Nubz' wheels and tyres.
