Nice work!

 

[HZRDOS]

Nice!

Curious as to why you chose HR for the diff case and not Vitavon? I am not am an 8S guy, so for all I know they may be the ones that most use. Just know most avoid HR cases on the 6s rigs.

Can’t wait to see it finished brother, you always do amazing work

@HZRDOS I have been using hr diff cups in my Arrma 6s vehicles for years without issues I have been satisfied with the units, but I use aluminum bulkheads with all of them.

Sweet. Only issue I had is the 29mm HR case does not work for the center due to bearing spacing.

Are you going to upgrade the chassis or leave it stock?
If you upgrade are you going with Vitavon, M2C or JBI?

 

[joostin420]

I have not really thought about a chassis upgrade. I do not thrash any of my rigs though because I always think of future sales

Yea, I get it. If I drive it, I beat it. If I mod it, I do it to make it withstand what it's built for. If I had F.U. money I'd build 2 versions... a basher and a "street only/ shelf queen". The day will come soon enough.

 

[joostin420]

Somehow I ended up building an outcast and kraton which I was not really planning on
