My Telluride
Made a spare tire carrier. Vxl-3s. Adjustable camber links. Next up is my center diff from my slash.

Curious, why did you switch to the VXL-3s? Did you switch to a brushless motor?

I was looking at the pics earlier, it looks crowded with the servo, esc, & motor together. How did you guys mount the ESC? Pics please!
Thanks!
ABI'll try anything once, maybe twice!

Looks good man!! I want a peak under the hood.
I have the Castle MMP and 2400kv bolted up on my P4de. I know its a little tight. I did have the controller by the motor and the Rx out of its box. I now have the controller mounted up high on the front of the chassis. I'd like to see your take.
Here is a pic of my P4de with the goodies.

I have another pic in the gallery with the body off. But I have since changed the motor out. I'll get another pic with the current motor later today

So most importantly...how does it bash/trail/crawl? how about when it was stock?
And got a questions for you Nix, if you don't mind. Noticed you were a member for 12 years with 84 posts, a north Texan, and have a modded Telluride noticably early. Wondering if your last name is Jenkins?
