Carbon is quite tough as it is;

I managed to break a CF lower tray on the gmaxx though; but that was with the 2.5mm thickness. This plate is 3.6mm thick, i hope for the best.

Usually if carbon breaks, aluminum is deformed beyond repair. i was still able to use it though, it was just a crack on one of the bridges.

Sorry dude...I have been crazy busy and I forgot! PM me if you want specifics....it is a sweet setup...and it is going to be even better when Mike releases the slipper diff. If Mike asks, the drive shafts are 88mm and 130mm long (tip to tip). The pin to pin length is about four to five mm shorter.

All we need now is a direct drive unit for the gorilla chassis:whistle:.

It is a very solid mount. I am very happy with the purchase.

_paralyzed_ 02.20.2008 11:56 PM

very nice work, i can't wait to get this unit and show off my project.... that's a killer truck, love the flextek's:yes:

Here are some more close-ups. I bought two of these units from Mike and I am still waiting for the drive shafts for this one to be delivered. Anyway, I put an Ofna CRT center diff with Kyosho spur in this unit.

That really is a thing of beauty. Had a thought- it would be entirely possible I reckon to use the modified stubaxles as the output shafts on the center diff, then you could use 3.3spec driveshafts for the centershafts. Plastic I know, but it would be a nice temporary solution maybe...

has there been any mention on price for one of these kits yet or did i miss it. i know thats for mike to chime in on, but maybe he already gave a price on the production units.

I know what I paid...it was very reasonable considering the kit came with the mount and two drive shafts. Who knows, he may slightly increase or decrease the price...I will let Mike broadcast the price...its not for me to say.

I will see what I can do this weekend!

tashpop 02.22.2008 10:17 PM

i didn't expect you to let the cat out of the bag so to speak. i know yours are somewhat of a trial first run sort of thing. i will most likely get some regardless of price within reason. i'll wait, i have enough projects to keep me and my income busy enough.
