ZoMg! Machine shop sent me more pics!! Getting super excited!!

Had the mgt out by the river today, nice and sandy. man I can not wait to get it on the track!

The Shocks are amazing they just eat anything I have thrown at them so far.

Those diff cases look nice bro! Glad to hear those shocks are working out for you. I may have to invest in a full set.

Hey man what's up haven't had an update on this build for awhile. I was wondering if you have decided on producing some of those chassis yet?

@hulkmaxx - Sorry just been waiting for the new parts to arrive. they should ship early this week! got some pics from annodizing of them!! I had put the chassis on hold. they are expensive to have made and I didn't seem to get a lot of interest in it. where as the other pieces I have gotten a lot of emails about.

Front Steering Knuckles! Look awesome! I am super happy with them. the big bearings are great!! Notes: a small amount of grease is needed on the pillow ball, grub screw needs a dab of lock tight. there was a small amount of binding from the pillow balls not being perfectly round but after a small break in they work perfect!! Love them!

Upper A-Arm Mounts: Love them. In the future I would have added even more material to stiffen them up. But I am really happy with them. the 7075 aluminum is really tough stuff compared to stock!

Diff Case: would seem my dimensions where too bang on the pinion is too tight when fully assembled. I need to get the outdrive bearing carriers machined another 0.5mm in depth. Real bummer they look fantastic! I also wanted to incorporate a little more play so the pinion can be adjusted easier. Tuesday I will talk to the machine shop about correcting this
