Well I ordered everything for this build. Just waiting to get the parts in. Should be anyday now. Now I went all out on the is build. I could have built it alot cheaper, but ha. I want the best of the best. If your going to build it might aswell build it right the first time. Save ya money in the long run. I have done a few things a little different. Not much yet. I'm sure I will change a few more things here and there during the build. But here is what I got.
I'm going for a very low COG and a balanced rig. The front axle and rear alxe should be within oz of each other.
Running Clod axles locked and with bearings of course. Used Lockers instead of JB weld. Didn't feel like messing with it. I'm running one 8 cell Sub-C battery back. 4 cells under each rear axle. Yep I said rear axle. The front axle will be holding up two 5 cell RX packs under each front knuckle. One for each servo. I choose Hitec 5955TG Robot Servos. Bought them from tower just minutes ago. Free shipping and 15 bucks off. Running the crawler store BTA on the front for the steering. The servo's will be pushing a set of Narrowed Proline Velocity wheels with Moab XL's rapped around them. I'm putting my new 40's Rock Sliders on them. Not out yet, So don't ask just yet for them. Running a 18in Pimp Cane with the rear axle flipped for even more clearance for breaking over those pesky leadges. Everything will be ran by a Mamba Maxx and Axiom 55t motors. Thanks to Holmes Hobbies. He also made my battery packs. Running 8 and 9 tooth pinions and RC4WD adjustable motor mounts. I replaced the bearings with Yeah Racing brand Teflon sealed bearings. Also using there axle stays on the rear. I went with a Cadillac Escalade EXT. Not sure on how I'm painting it yet. For Radio gear I snagged a VG6000 of E-Bay for $60 bucks. I'm using a 3003 Servo to shut down the rear motor for front digs. There's not much else I can think of right know. Here are the specs and pic's will start showing up anyday now.

Well Here is the first set of pic's...Clod axles, locked and bearings. XTM thron wheels and Moab XL's stretched over them....Looking pretty good so far. I star cut the foams also.
Man after weeks of waiting to get these. They final came in. Since I have my 2.2 done. It's time to start working on this.
Got a little more done. Thats just a basher body, not what I'm going to run.
Well this looks like a Rats nest already.....
Man I just got my Parts for my VG6000..So Things will start to go together know. I also have a few extra bodies already painted to choose from to run. I almost have a different body for each day of the Month....
More to come.......
