    Wrapping this thing up with tha Losi Mini axles. Maybe a test run tomorrow.

    Not much articulation using the RC4WD 1/18 Gelande shocks. But it looks cool and is pretty ‘scale’.

    It got a little tricky making things fit. It’ll need a couple of braces front and back to stiffen it more.

    Very cool Brake Weight, let’s see it crawl. Don’t know if you do the video thing but I would love to see it go.

    I gather those were the narrowest axles of decent quality you could dig up?

    Yep. Any narrower and the wheels would tuck.

    The one he is showing is a brushed model. From everything I've seen the Slash and Stampede are often the two most recommended for beginners or bashers. I don't really have much issue with my brushless on 2S batteries.

    Axial yeti rock racer with all kinds of cool mods and stuff done to it
    And I also have two boats of unknown brand. One being an electric that goes pretty okay the other being a wood boat with an outboard nitro engine on it. Still in the works of building that one.

    Traxxas is marketed towards the bashers of the world. Every hobby shop carries their parts
    so when you break them you can be back up and running after a quick trip to replace the parts
    you just broke. If you want to race 2WD Short Course trucks Losi & Team Associated will get you
    to the front if your driving skills match the performance of their 2WD Short Course Race Kits.

    I was looking for one of those a few weeks ago. Looks like they may not be produced anymore.
