I'll check it out. I hope to get some more time on it this weekend. Going to LHS tomorrow, plus I have a&l clutch,shiny cvd's, and a couple other go fast goodies to add.

Looking forward to this one. My first Traxxas rig was the straight up Eagle 1901. Long gone.....

Had to shave some material in order to use the LSII arms

Does anybody know where I can find the motor plate and motor guard for this project

update

modern lipo fits!!! Perhaps Traxxas was ahead of its time

How difficult is it to get that lipo in and out of the truck? On my last SRT, I had to make my own upper chassis plate that was clearanced a bit more near the battery. My hard case 2S packs would fit, but I had to remove the rear battery brace to get the pack in or out. I could have cut the original plate and used the forward front battery box locations (for 7-cell battery), but didn't want to cut-up a rare piece. Plus, it would have given me way more room than needed.

Here's what I ended up with:

I'm probably going to have to remove the battery brace.....otherwise rare pieces would have to be modified....not gonna do that
