Wowzers!

Yep, if you cross breed a Rustler and Emaxx, this is the result.....

It really did turn out well, should make for an incredible basher with show-truck looks.

Update: After replacing a broken bulkhead, I decided to lighten up the MRC by replacing the aluminum arms with RPM plastics. I also replaced the castor and knuckles with plastic. I also switched to a lighter wheel and tire (road rages) combo. In all I save about 470 grams. I have 2 new controllers on the way to allow me to run on dual 4S with the velineon motors and some new energy 4100mah 4S lipos. My setup is down to 10.5lbs (4762g).

WOW! I am inspired to try to revive my old Baja King. I was just curious are the Mammoth dogbones a direct fit with the Savage ams and carriers or do they need to be modified at all? Thanks!

You will have to grind down the ball ends slightly to make them slide into the drive cups.

Thanks, I was thinking about going with the aluminum arm and plastic hub set-up. I had a couple more questions if you don't mind...

Will the original turnbuckles/cups still work or would I need to buy new ones to go w/ the Savage arm/hub conversion?

I understand the heavy duty axles, is the extended 23mm hex needed or will the 17mm hex work?

Also, I see that you changed your body mounts several times. I really like the simplicity of the final set-up. Where could I buy that type of set-up?

Thanks again for the info.
