    I know, it's crazy! I built my TLT 9 years ago, when there were no kits. Now, you can literally spend thousands building one if you wanted to.

    Thanks guys! Both Al's products, and service are top notch. All the controllers / switches in my Wraith were custom made for it by Al.

    Had some spare Shift hubs and Axial wheels, and free time so I figured I'd try a mod I found. I'm happy with the results. I like the stance a lot better now Shift hubs Stock hubs

    Riding is my one true passion, been riding for over 30yrs. If I sent them to you, what would I do next winter? :D Build looks fantastic Loring! Potato, we aggravate a buddy of mine at work all the time since he still has a flip phone. Have they even made those since like 1999? :hehe:

    You want something solid for shear strength. Hollow tube would be stronger than stock, but you really want something solid. And yes, cut it just shorter than than butting up against the yolk, and you're good. I used a Wraith battery tray, and four zip ties. :D

    I slug the shafts with all thread that fits snug, that is epoxied into place as shown in my Cheap SOB crawler thread. Everything including my CC BEC is inside the RX box, and everything is waterproofed with conformal coating also. I have some new stuff for it, just haven't had any time for RC...

    I picked up some Axial 8 hole beadlocks, so of course, I had to make some beadlock rings for them. They weigh right at 2oz each, so if you run a front and back on the front wheels you gain close to 4oz per wheel. I also decided to try my hand at a design on these, I'm pretty happy how they...

    I finished cutting all the tires, and got my hard top painted today. In hindsight, I should have painted the outside since flat black looks like gloss black behind the lexan.

    I finally got to get the Rubi outside yesterday after work. I'm pretty happy with it, but it needs some tweaking like all rigs. First things first, the tread on the Maxxis Treps is pretty closed up for east coast clay, so I started working on them tonight. Nothing crazy, just something to help...

    Woodie, I have a couple of mods planned in the next few weeks, but nothing huge. Just small things that make big improvements on the rocks.
