Love it! I felt like I was watching RC gymnastics with all those flips and aerobatics;)

I like how solid it is on the landings, seems like a good shock setup.

Started production on chassis kits tonight. I'm making them nearly identical to the one in this thread.
My plans to include in the kit:
Side plates
Lexan electronics plate
Lower transmission plate
All stainless metric hardware

I will also be making up 4 link bars that can be purchased separately.
Transmissions will hopefully be started soon.
I'll do special pricing for anyone who purchase swaybars, 4 link kits, or anything else with the chassis kit.

Are there any updates on the chassis kits you mentioned? I'd be interested and I'd think that others would be also. Great looking Truck.

Got a chance to give the truck a good beating today. The velcro breakaway body panels worked great. After many high speed crashes and jumps on concrete I broke two shock bolts and a rear steer lockout. But I kept on going until a rear dog bone jammed into knuckle and cracked the axle housing. Hopefully this weekend I'll get a chance to make a video for the contest.

I was wondering about the transmission.
Without a slipper clutch, won't it tend to break driveline parts on hard landings?
Also it looks like those wheels have a lot of offset. Would that be considered negative offset if I am looking for rims?
I bought a set of 3.8 tires and rims from a savage but the rims have WAY too much offset towards the outside so the knuckle is buried inside the rim.

Thanks!

Awesome truck BTW! VERY close to what I am hoping my build will turn out like.
