Thanks, Should look sweet with rcmax chassie and Haric battery box. Probably order servos next

Gonna be sick. Is the carbon tower compatible with the rcmax front diff case?

I hope so didn’t put it on yet, I didn’t consider that waiting on my chassie before I do install. Don’t see why it shouldn’t be.

Something sexy

Carbon is thick had to drill out shock holes to 8mm

Mmm i know what im going to look forward to with my vekta

 

[blackrain]

Sides much thicker than stock
After I put her back together I realized I forgot to put in center shaft. She looks sexy now.

 

[Rep732]

Is the center shaft just a dog bone? Curious to know

Cost to much paid $320 got it from rcmax Uk

 

[Rep732]

Eh that's not too bad for some fiber bling

 

[blackrain]

If you took out the shipping and tax it would be like $268

 

[Rep732]

Im definitely considering when I want to see something new on the rig

 

[blackrain]

I love it on there wanted to do something a little different. They are some nice pieces. I wonder if they still plan on coming out with these carbon fiber wheel inserts
These are not mine I saw a guy on Facebook post these ,there black anodized. I think they look sick kind of like those rims you always see on jeeps
