Ok guys I cleaned up the chassis a little more did a quick mothers hand polish on the upper plates and x braces.In the background of one of the pics is the bulks with sweetstrobes I will probably be using.
I am still looking into getting the chassis black hard coated but if its too much $ forget it. I ordered new batt straps and new side straps and new foam pads.
Another thing I need to decide is which skid I am going to use I have some excellent shape old school Maxxtraxx 3mm titanium skids( do any of you guys remember these) and some excellent shape 2mm titanium Hardcore skids. If I run the 3mm I probably wont run bumpers to offset the weight, they seem to be indestructable.
I think you guys have talked me into running the ga bulks with 8 spiders but not sure on the sweetstrobes yet because if I use the thinner titanium towers there going to be a gap at the mounting point.We will see. Since the brushless has more torque than a nitro I think the 8 spider will be the best choice also. Does anyone have a extra g-maxx motor mount they want too sell I really cant justify spending $40 for a new one that I probably wont be using very long especially if the slipperential come out pretty soon. If not I will just use the $8 stocker. I dont want to give up suspension travel . I thought with the angle of the shock being more that a shorter shock (ofna front) would work without loseing travel I will come to that when I get too it. So a solid backbone is what you guys want thats what its getting sure it going to be a little heavier but with brushless power who cares. Hopefully it lives up too its name "Silverback" for being a rare and powerful beast. LOL
