I am moving to St Petersburg, Florida in a couple weeks and my new home track will be Hurricane RC Club, where they just hosted the J Concepts race. I am stoked to be 30 mins away from what looks to be a serious world class facility and outdoor racing all year round.....YES!!! Any Academy guys down there???

Thanks Chad, I will definitely miss running the MORL series with you guys and mounting step pins. You are not a man until you have run at Litchfield in the rain....some of these indoor stiffs would be terrified to get their stuff that dirty!

do you know the model number or name of the body?
I am going to be ordering some screws, probably from TonyScrewz unless anyone knows of another place with similar quality for less.
Reason I post this, is that I am going to sit down and take a good look over the vehicles and see where cap screws can be used instead of the button screws and build a list with that in it, that way if anyone decides to order but wants to use the bigger cap screws they can.
As it sits right now for the GV2T truck, I highly recommend NOT using the stock button head screws to hold the wheels on.

While this is at the top.
Just got done rebuilding two new diffs. One is built with gv2 rings and the other is built with associated rings. Going to see which one stays smoother longer. Both are built exactly the same way.
For those hesitant to try Ass. rings, don't be. Was a lot easier to glue up then expected and just holding the rings in my hands they seem smoother (if thats even possible).
