I've looked this build over a couple times now and am really impressed by all the pics and thouroughness of the build. You have done a great job documenting your truck as it changes.
A+++++++
Another easy tip on replacing bearings is to heat the engine in your oven for about 20 minutes on 300 degrees. The engine will expand a tad bit with the heat and the bearings will almost fall out with just a slight tap. And like was mentioned previously have your new bearings in the freezer...

Here it is without the...
Thanks everyone for the kind comments... :-)
I'm very thankful she is into it with me for sure. She really loves the monster trucks and hates any of my buggies or truggies. She likes to be able to run over anything she can and loves to jump stuff.
I'm new to this forum so this will be my first official post. I bought a new savage x 4.6 rtr a couple months back and here is a 5 minute vid of my wife just bashing around the front yard.
