Very true about the Taxi...didn't think of that...but then again I'd rather drive myself and just pay for gas than pay for the service.

I do agree that the E-Maxx bulk/a-arm system is a VERY VERY VERY dated design. AND I HATE IT!

But I do want something waterproof, and I have come up with a somewhat decent solution to it.

Running aluminum bulks with JDCarbon hingepins and RPM a-Arms. I ran the same thing on my Race-E-Maxx before (except I ran lunsford Titanium pins) and I just bent pins all the time. I figure if I run the JD's and just keep spares, they will just flex or shear (and I doubt they'll shear easily).

Even so, this truck is SOLELY for the snow...Something I need not worry about...and not worry about speed either. Doing 50mph on the snow is just asking to total your truck when that tree pop's out.
