What gear cover you using? Can you take a closer photo of the clearance? I am using the Worlds ReRe shocks with big bore springs and I can't find a gear cover to fit.

Gear covers don't really work too well on these. I had mine built with bottom load shocks and still had contact with a stock Caddy gear cover. It was minor contact and the springs only touched the cover at full droop, but with big bore springs or a gear cover for a modern slipper I got to think it'll be too much interference.

The gear cover was designed for a Traxxas Stampede/Rustler. It attaches by just the upper screw.

They are common on eBay and look cool. I will add a close up photo shortly.

I set aside a clear bumper like that for my build as well ha ha. Maybe Ill use a shorty black matt bumper instead. Looking awesome so far man! Good call on the losi bell cranks!

Finally some of the many needed parts arrived:) I need to convert the front Axels to 4-40 so I can use the Rogue Elements Knock-offs. Also, may change the Servo mount to Aluminum.

Let me know of any recommendations on battery straps.

Thanks, Mark

looks awesome! Maybe some aluminum straps?

Def aluminum servo mounts if you ask me.

I agree. Here's what I have in the works/planned:

- Alum wing mount
- Custom aluminum antenna mount
- Polished Litesink Motor Mount
- Aluminum Servo Mount w/ Aluminum Servo
- Either Lexan or Graphite Battery Strap
- Knurled Aluminum Bellcrank nuts
- Polished Shocks

Not sure on the body yet.

Matching carbon strap IMO!

From my test fitting, the B2/B3 bodies seem to fit the best. I'm curious what you come up with.

Made a few of the planned installations/upgrades; Silver shocks, Litesink motor mount, Plastic battery straps (for now) and custom Bellcrank thumbscrews/nuts. Not sure whether or not to keep the litesink blue. Black and Silver would bet a better match, but I would need an anodize source:)
