Well, Im done, first race tomorrow. I have carbon fiber a arms now with a slipper clutch !

I'm all set, will have to play with damping as I don't see it as being optimal right now.

Let me know what you think !!!

You know what... I actually removed lots of aluminium to replace it with graphite and carbon... It was HEAVY ! hehe But even the stock plastic makes this truck almost indestructible ! hehe

You're right

I didnt even think of the belts. But I do like the body, just saying a ST body would make it more of a truggy, but it is still cool none-the-less.

Well, it made the A main today.. hehe I handles just amazing... I will make some more little mods... some tuning but it's alreay really raceable and it follows the xxx4 just enough. I'm not the best driver and we have some in there really good and I can tell that in a couple races i'll be on their tails.. hehe

I compared it today with the other 4x4 buggies out there, 2 BJ4 and 9 xxx4 and 1 xx4, it's got less rolling resistance (really surprised me) and comparable weight. So, I guess that I will be able to hang with them for real next couple of races...

I've been wanting to do the same thing. I would run a ST body though.

Looks good. I hope you end up whooping some Losi's real soon mang.
