The next batch is almost ready - this round they are getting a hard anodize and are at the anodizer now. :)

Thanks for the update Mike! I was out racing at the track today and the 2.2 gladiators really wanna make the truck do back flips in the air. I managed to land a few of them over the jumps too:rofl: The small crowd thought it was great.

:yipi: finally some good news, hey mike reply to my email am :neutral: (its about the medusa 36-50 and the new chassis)

O.K. I gotta ask: Does anyone have any idea what color they are going to be, or is there going to be a choice?

i think it's gonna be the same color as the ofna stock chasis. but dont take my word for it am just guessing.

Generally hard annodized is the copper-ish color that the stock chassis is.

I'm getting back onto this project. Order a RCM chassis. I'd like to get a good Lipo next. Do the Zippy Lipo's fit in the battery box?

I believe they will fit in the lg. boxes Mike sells...I had a custom one made specific to my Zippy batts. IMO it is well worth the extra 12- for a tight fit for a custom tray...just my 2cents worth

One of the few pieces I need to get this thing ready is a new body and body post. Is there anything out there that is a better choice than the factory plastic body posts? I don't really wanna order another tree of plastic parts when all I really need is a few body post.

I use these...just cut off the long posts.. then cut to the right length and drill a new hole to mount to the tower. I also use one of these in the rear

ditto

I'm using this CEN Racing 1/8 body mount on the rear: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/11213

I use the stock mounts on the front, but put them behind the shock tower. They have lasted a very long time behind the tower.

Yeah mine were fine until I decided to run with the body off. I tapped the brakes and it went literally head over heals and tore one off.

New body post are in transit, RCM chassis is in transit, picked up a 1/8 generic wing at the shop, and I joined the Mamba Monster Club today =p. MM will be my back up.

should have sent me a message man i got a ton of spare body mounts..... im on my 3rd set of parts trees in the 3 times ive run the damned little truck.... my .5 is ready to throw down. you gonna come out to our huge april 4th race, they said we could run our .5s with the 1/10th 4wds........gonna be fun!

btw im ready to get a look at the rcm chassis because i might ditch my slash in favor of doing some mods to the .5, also which body you gonna run with the extended chassis?
