    Awesome! So, it's in stock? The website says ETA: 3/7/12. Tower has had them in stock for a few days now, cheaper too. A Main can be a rip-off sometimes.

    I've ordered from both and A-main had some cheaper prices and shipping was better with A-Main

    I've used both as well, it seems they each have better prices on some items, and higher on others. Just depends on brands/distributors I'd guess. But Tower usually gets my crap to me in two days.

    Tower always has $25 off and free shipping on orders over $99. I only order from Tower when i buy something expensive, otherwise I buy all my crap from eBay.

    I've just started fooling with helis. It's like smoking crack to me (j/k of course). But I can't get enough. I had a Blade CP, (way over my head at the time) and little MCX co-ax for a while, then got a MSR, and SR120, both fixed pitch, acquired a old model T-Rex 450, just ordered a HK450 clone.

    I have the same tire set up coming in. How do they look on the truck? How much rubbing? They are a lot bigger than the ripsaws. Do you have more pictures?

    Just the pictures I have on here. No rubbing and they are the same width and a tad taller.
    Well they don't rub the honcho. Not sure about the dingo body

    I am going to build mine over a couple months and make it perfect.

    I have the HPI Savage 25 and all kinds off extra's for sale if anyone is interested. Just don't have time for it anymore. Shipping might hurt it's alot of stuff and I would guess pretty heavy.

    The parts for the "Wroncho" that I'm not sure on are links, shocks, and driveshafts for those axles.. I guess I need to troll some other forums and ask around.


    This has been discussed on here before, I think. :spy:

    I think I saw the build on axial website. All the suspension and axles are from the wraith

    http://axialracing.com/wordpress/2011/07/12/wraith-axles-on-an-scx10/

    Think I might go this way.
