Wow, I really like that. Would look great anodized an obnoxious color (not for this build, but for something I was planning). I'd like to know where to get it, too.

It seems like a cast to me so hopefully there is a source out there somewhere for them.

Reggie, Please let us know if you get any info.

they are $100 at the bottom of their webpage here http://www.acechassisco.com/products/products_motor.html

It includes the gears and stuff too. It would be nice if just the case was available.

A few build update photos. Hoping to get the wheels built tonight. So far, everything has gone together very well. The only bump was one of the holes in a Losi bell crank was not threaded. They must have been made on a Friday afternoon. :lol: Easy fix with a tap and some shock oil.

Doug, what are the "spacers" in between the rear bulkhead and the chassis?
