A note about the Vitavon cases. I don't know if it was the threads or not as all the other thread holes seem fine but the holes for the sway bar clamp were tight as hell. I could barely get the screws in a quarter of the way. It also seems to be some messed up 2.5mm size as neither any of the 2 or 3mm bolts I have fit it.
I brought it to the guy who made my ESC mount(pics later) and he drilled out and made them all 4mm.

Well I took the Dremel and then a sanding block with 220 and then 600 grit paper to get rid of the grooves. Finished with the buffer.
I'm now much happier to have this on the car.
Also drilled and tapped the holes in the chassis.

Well FML!
I thought that the Arrma aluminum diffs came with the silicone o-rings and the crown gears.
I guess not!!!
 
Once she's running you'd better keep her away from recycling centers, that's a whole lot of aluminum! You might want to beef up the shocks in your one to one transport vehicle. :ROFLMAO: Awesome build!!!
 
I hope you're going to the gym as well because this needs some serious muscles to carry to the bashing spot :LOL:

Very cool build :cool::cool:

How does it run?
Click to expand...

I don't bash it. I run it around the gravel and the backyard on my acreage. Bashing 33lbs is asking for trouble and broken parts whether they are metal or plastic IMO.
But here it is drying after a run in the snow and a picture of early carnage with it. LOL

My OCD wants to know why the spare tire doesn’t match?! ?

I know. It bugs the hell out of me too.
I bought a set of 5T tires and didn't like them so I bought the Giant Grips which are on there right now. I used one of the 5T tires as the spare.
I usually forget about it until someone reminds me about it. :p
