A silver, black or black delrin EEM SNG would sure be sexy on a Mosi

Some updated info and pics of how it currently sits.

Well first off this has been a very fun build, and after trying different link lengths both upper and lower, adjusting the ride height and getting the wheel base just under 12.5", as well as cutting off the excess motor mount plate, and custom drilling the blank skid plate that Joe over at East End Machining sent me, which made it possible for me to get my transmission as far forward and to the passengers side as I can, this did a few things for me, it gives me more clearance between the drive shafts and upper and lower links, it gives me straighter drive shaft angles, less torque twist, and also allows me to use all of the upper link holes in the rear that my dig was in the way of before. I also did the rod end mod to my to my Duratrax shocks and put them back on, this made them the perfect length and they seem to leak less then my Losi crawler shocks. I also went back to my Mayhem Spiders up front after stripping out the hex in the Axial wheels.

Small update, I just went back to CVD's I will be trying out Axials version with some Gunner Pins which are supposed to be much stronger then the stock pins, I also got a set of his hex pins to try out, and sometime in the future I will be rocking a new body sporting the East End Machining logo down the sides, it will be going to the painter this Saturday at our next club comp and i hope to have it back for the first club comp of the new year.

This a couple pics from the last comp
