Please do. Tires are one of the last parts that I'm not decided on yet. I have ideas but not set on any size or style yet.

2 problems with the Big Joes. I don't think they would work as well as the Hatchets in the grass and dirt. Plus I mounted one side backwards so I have to take them apart and put them back together again. NOOB mistake. LOLI 2nd that!

I think I am going to try and paint the Hatchet rims Silver and see how they look.
Looking very nice

OK so the build is finally done except for 2 things. Bodies need to be painted but I need to wait for the weather to improve so I can break out my Airbrush and it will be my first using one so it will be interesting. LOL
Second thing is the car goes to my local RC shop to get all the electronics setup because I have no confidence in doing so. Lot's of sensors and crap I have no idea what to do especially concerning the Mamba X 8s setup.
I know it's dragged on and I appreciate those who have followed this.
Latest pics are increased big fatty turnbuckles I added from my 1/5 Losi DBXL-e.
Major beefcake here. Lot's of drilling larger holes to accept 5mm bolts instead of the puny 3mm bolts.
Some grinding of rod ends to fit and also grinding down the ball ends to fit the hubs.
I have a little bit of rubbing bron the rod ends on the servo saver so I need to dremel a bit to clearance them.
Other than that I don't see any more changes.

Those turnbuckles look nice, but did you put wheels on it and see how they do with clearance when turning? That kink in the OEM ones allows for the wheel to be there. Yours might rub pretty good.
