damn,you got alot done in under ten minutes.:lol:
Cool, glad to see your supporting RCM with your purchases.

actually if u look at the LHS forum its been taking more than a Month.

:gasp::whip: cool

Yeah can't wait to get all these parts and throw it together & run a test run but think i am going to take 1 step at a time (cuz seems lot people do that :lol: )

This is my 2nd project i am working on. My 1st project is almost done just waiting for some good tires to show up on E-Bay....(yes its a vintage)

I have Picked up these parts

Toss a Slipperential in that thing. Looking good!

I did a mbx-5 conversion and now it sits as a road car conversion.
yours looks great

Thanks for awesome input.

I think i will be getting the parts Tues. (due to the 4th of July Holiday)

I am still thinking of a Custom ESC mount since i didn't buy the Battery Tray with the ESC mount. Was thinking about using a Piece of Sheet Metal (but the cutters i have leave Jagged edges, and Don't cut str8) Plus i think it would rust after a while. So i was thinking of a piece of good plastic. I haven't really found a place for everything. Was think Motor and ESC on one side and The Battery Tray Behind the Servo. But there is the question of mounting the receiver (prbby on the center diff like i see alot of set-ups do)

parts will be here tomorrow!

That doesnt seem right. I ordered a muggy mount monday and its in my hands.

i ordered my parts Last Friday before 4th of july

Hopfully you get them.Cant wait for mor pix:whip:

Well it finally Came!

On a side note the switch didn't work so i removed it and hot wired it. :great:

(yes no dirt here just dust :lol: )

Glad to see you got it going and enjoying it!
Nothing but dust in Maryland also:no:

That is a sweet looking buggy. Looks very solid. Oh and the servo mount is awesome, may have to see if Mike has something similar for my E-Raze.
