    I don’t, but would love to check it out. It’s gotta be a blast!
    There is something nostalgic and charming about keeping older rigs original. You or someone else mentioned earlier a dislike for pulling electrics from old rigs to use on new. I am kinda the same way. I find once you pull the stuff out the rig rig ends up unfunctional for the rest of its days.

    This is a very good point. Might as well leave it be and spend the money elsewhere or on another truck!

    Too, with the 1080 being what, 35 bucks in the US? HH Sport motor now 20 bucks roughly? It’s 30+% more up here with our crappy currency, but still seems worth it.

    Another reason I’m going to sell off some of the stable. Some haven’t had a battery plugged into them in a year.

    Maybe a tad too wide for scale, but for crawling, it’s perfect. Looks good, more pics please :thumbsup:

    It's even a bit narrow on a tf2 IMHO. I think they did it a disservice. Stance could have been adjust with hubs if it was wider. Still looks good and you are right it tucks in out of the way and smaller is lighter for weight....

    Anyone interested in a vanquish rock jock with ssd portals? One portal is messed up and needs a rebuild. Axle is still fine and can be used portal less. I also have normal hubs and universal shafts for it. 150$ shipped. Already has vanquish gears and fast eddy bearings
