    How do you like the marlin? Does it flex OK? Debating one, or a TRX-4

    The TRX-4 does flex WAY better.
    Then again, the Marlin is more scale and there are a bunch of mods and tweaks to make it flex
    pretty good. It's just 4-link vs. leaf spring. I have both and I think each has it's advantages.

    I just tacoed my Inferno MP9 E chassis today and it was totally my fault. Does anyone one know if other MP9 chassis are compatible. The MP9 E Evo chassis is on back order

    A 24th is around a 100 bucks RTR. No cheaper entry than that.

    A number of things. 1/24 Wraith, a 1/10 Rover scaler, and just half finished my latest that’s a Stampede basher. Let alone the 3 others in disarray. LOL. Just need some spare time and more money to finish a few more.

    I have an hgp407 bruiser clone with bruiseruptor axles under it I need to finish

    Then there is the scx10ii that I am making into a class zero super scale f350.

    Then there is an origin chassis with portals under it.
    Then the yeti Jr needs a motor and pinion
    Then the class 2 truck needs axles but has the rest of the running rear I need to re install.
    Then the night time trail rig needs some interior trimming to clear the spur gear....



    It's never ending....

    Looks good. Did you see that vanquish offers raised aluminum shock towers now? Only lowers it about 6mm though, and the portals give about 13mm of lift. I’m using scx10ii towers on mine, seem to work so far. I finally received my bumper and sliders, so once i get them fitted I’ll post up another picture.
