Well, I have them; will post a few pix tonight. They are beef and well made, however I am not that thrilled with them. They basically stretched the front of the chassis so the gearbox/motor/esc is all the way in the back.

While I knew this going in, it would have been nice to have an front mount option for the battery trays rather than just a mid/rear options.

I would have prefered they have stretched the front only 2/3rds the amount needed and then stretched the rear a 1/3rd. Granted this would have meant supplying two dogbones, but I think that would have been ok.

Anyways, will use it for now, but am going to need to do some custom TVPs to do a center diff mod so that the diff/motor is a bit more centered but leaving enough room to put the batteries inside the TVPs at the front.
