    I almost always use the make an offer and lowball. I was interested, then it became a game to get them to agree to my low offer, now I am pumped it is coming.

    Started tinkering on this today. 1/24 Shapeways body, Barrage tranny, and axles from a Chinese HBX Devastor(Sumo clone). I’ve got some bugs to works out but I think it’ll be a blast. AWD/AWS and should be quick with the gearing. I’m guessing full speed should be about like a Losi Micro Rally so I’ll need to set it up on a proper controller to dial it back and set all other parameters.

    Does anyone have some rod ends for a wraith? I'm doing the panhard kit right now and didn't realize I would need the rod ends. I have a bunch from my 10.2 but the holes are way too big.

    No threads on the 10.2 plastic links are evidently bigger than the aluminum threads.

    I think the 10.2 has 5mm whereas the Traxxas can fit a 4mm. But I may be wrong.

    Is drilling it out a little not an option? Seems like the easiest.
    I also found some rc4wd bent rod ends, the package says m3 I think it's the hole size?

    On the other hand, look what I picked up lolA04A2CDB-6226-4C56-AFFC-BA1C948565AA.jpg

    The rod end is what’s to big, I need the hole to be smaller. I’m thinking it is m3

    You’ll need some m3 ends for that.

    If you want 2 of those bent rod ends I could put them in a envelope for you and send them your way

    installed the vanquish antirock on my bomber today. was confusing for a bit without instructions but i looked at some pictures and figured it out.

    bomber turns better and climbs way better now. do you guys put loctite on bolts? i did a small test drive and the link just fell off even though i tightened it the most i could
