Allow you to mount 14mm hex rims onto a buggy/truggy with 1/8 scale hubs.

Thanks for the link! Wow, those add a heck of an offset. I'll see how the regular buggy tires look first. My MBX5 has a tentative delivery date of 7/28 (monday) so I'm getting anxious to start!

I got a Futaba servo - can't remember the exact model, but it has close to 200oz-in torque and .15 sec speed @ 6v. Also got another Spektrum receiver (man, the DX3r was a good investment!), and a Slash body.

In the meantime, I'm trying to finish up the Ofna UltraGTP project I started a while back. I hate working on too many projects at once. Started making the battery trays and came up with a design that allows different size lipos, but that's a subject for the other thread. :smile:

Still need to pick up a Neu motor and a 6s battery pack and I think the F-Slayer (faux slayer) will be done. May need some nuts/bolts and some new CVD to make the MBX look shiny and new but that can wait.

Got e-mail on my blackberry that the package was delivered to your work. So, in case you didn't know it's there...you do now.

Yup, I got it! Just took a brief look at stuff and everthing looks nice. May need to replace a couple nuts/bolts and shine things up a bit, but definitely worth the price!

I'm glad I got the Ultra GTP project done last weekend because I can just imagine this project is gonna need my whole work bench. :smile:

isnt it you brian who always posts the "this thread is nothin' without Pitchers" thing :D

you see where im goin with this :rotf:

Sheesh! Give a guy a chance to get home! I'm at work right now. :smile:

well apparently u got time cuz ur on the forums at work :P

haha

Just here and there. And I don't have my camera with me. :tongue:

Come on BG, it's almost 6:00... time for pic posting. :)

I have been testing fitting my Slash body on stuff too, LOL!!!! It looks SWEET on a Revo.

There is interest from a few mfg to make these. We should see a couple new aftermarket versions of the Slash body pretty soon. I think it's pretty sweet.

lol, no pics today. Started stripping down the MBX5 taking off non-essentials (sway bars, the modded mud guards, body mounts, etc) and doing some suspension tweaks to raise the chassis. Gonna continue stripping it down, cleaning, and "pretti-fying" everything before any updated pics are posted.

But for the time being, this is what Skellyo sent me:

finally.. :P

nice center diff mount

"Great beginnings start with the single blow of a horn man!"-Virgil

Looks like a start. Can't wait to see the progress.

Hey Brian, I saw you have that center diff mount that is also a motor mount, for saddle packs. If you aren't using it, would you mind selling either it or the RC-M mount?

I'm not sure yet which mount I'll be using out of the three available, but I'll post here when I decide.
