Right now, until I find one the proper width for 3/16" axles, I'm using a 5mm hex from my kid's old stampede. Rear track width is comparable to the Worlds rere. Then on the outside, I use one of the thick aluminum body post washers (if not the wheel will not tighten) and a standard 8-32 nut. What are they..... 11/32" I think?

I use one of the molded tools that come in the AE shock kits to tighten the nut. Just had to sand it down to shrink the diameter a bit. I didn't have any standard sockets that were thin enough to go inside the wheel opening.

Why don't you try and build a mid motor runner for this one

Just a runner will do though

And there you found why I asked the question I'll find my AE tool and give it some love to fit. I think I have a 7mm hex on there, didnt measure width...I'll need to do that now.

Dug up some old, cut up battery boxes and trimmed them up a little bit more. Tore the car back apart to drill and countersink the holes. Also added new servo mount holes. Still need to pick up a front bumper and the wide axles. Eventually I will make a one piece battery hold down.

Trimmed up an old viper body I had laying around from I roller I bought awhile back to fit the narrow front. Added wing mounts to the rear tower and installed the wide front axles. I also wanted to try a pair of stock traxxas e-revo rear wheels. So I picked up a pair, as well as a pair of white b4 ftont wheels to make a set.

Perfect look !!!

Finally doing something with this car. Getting it ready for the carpet track at the LHS. Not making it pretty either, just want to get it done.

I forgot about my last pair of custom front arms that were laying in the top of my tool box. So I decided to pull the truck nose plate off and throw a buggy plate on it so i could use them. Added front and rear sway bars. Swapped out the wide axles for standard length ones. Tires should be here soon, as well as a new digital servo.

Are these shock towers you used custom made?

Yeah, they're all stuff I drew/thought up and had guys cut for me.

It's a little bit closer to munching some carpet.

The gold nose was bugging me, so I swapped in a black rere nose plate. Jeff cut a couple .89 front towers for me and the tires showed up. Jconcepts Swaggers and Pin Downs. I still have to mess around with shock oil/pistons/springs and ride heights. Got to put a receiver in it too.

Looks good! Are those B4 offset rear wheels you have on there now?

1/16 e-revo wheels with hexes.

Looking almost factory

I'd get that battery as far to the front as you can if you're going to run RM on carpet... I've tried and it's shocking (albeit not surprising) how a RM pushes on carpet

I'm gonna try it as is for now. I've drilled enough holes in the tub already.

Not that it's a perfect tub or anything but I don't want it to end up in the swiss cheesed tub thread.

Should swap out rear arms with white....

That swaybar thingie is pretty cool, who made it?
