Well I got my SD basically done, just waiting on my stuff to arrive from R10, and I will have it completely finished. Got all of the electronics set up on the car how I want them, only one problem now, I cant get it to turn on and can't figure out what the heck is wrong. Well anyway... here are some new pics!

Once again, it will only let me post 2 of them at a time... but does anyone have ideas of why I am not getting power? (yes the battery was connected when I tried to turn it on)

looks fine,

in the second picture, the red wire above the capacitor. is it connected to the fan or capacitor?

is it a FET servo?

cap can be on backwards...

check the lines connected to the receiver...

run the car without the fan...if the car runs, could be a problem with the fan

Found out what it was, I had to extend the wires on the switch about an inch, and the wire I used was really thin, and it snapped off as I shrink wrapped it. Got some new wire on there, and now I'm good to go. Just wish I hadn't taken everything else apart first to try to find the problem...

I find the MIP dog bones and axles more durable than the Yok's. I've broken 2 YOK axles so far... after switching to MIP's..have broken any yet.
Do you have CVD's on the front of your SD also? What's the part number for those? There's not a complete set for the SD available yet, right? Thanks.

The center shaft is the Yokomo carbon shaft. It is much smaller in diameter than the TC3 shaft, so I just hope I dont have problems with it's strength.

I ran 10 packs with the center graphite shaft and had no problems.

I used 12 turns motor, had some accidents but it didn't break.

It is a very good option part you relly notice the difference in weight compared to the stock blue alum shaft.

alrighty guys,
i notice that a lot of you are breaking something on the front drive train, the dog bones or axels, not sure which part exactly you are talking about, but what do i need to buy so mine do not break, or at least to where i change something on the car, so the problem never comes up?
