Fancy!!
I might have to order one since I have to make a order worthy of shipping across the pond.

Isn’t that the truth! I had to pay 21.50 Euros to get $5 worth of Corally parts I couldn’t get in the US. A major US seller told me they can’t get some hardware from Corally because the big US distributor won’t carry them (yet).

Yea My sketer has broken steering arm joint and a broke a arm, I refuse to pay more in shipping than the actual parts so I will order some stuff and make it worth while.
 
That looks beautiful, the price isn't bad either...I don't know what's up with HRP not carrying so many parts that TC makes..perhaps there just isn't enough demand (in US)?

I hear Arrma rod ends make an easy "upgrade".. the links themselves are longer though (Arrma)..

Edit:.. sorry, I was thinking 1/8 scale. Are the Sketer links of the same diameter of the 1/8 scales?

TBH I haven't compared them to the aarma or the shogun yet, they are currently packed up ready to move.
 
Maybe noob question. So if you go for full gearbox porn, you need 2? 1 front 1 back. And you place it around the diff?

You don't have to replace both, and yes it goes around the front/rear diffs.
Main reasons to replace them would be if you feel the diffs are skipping a bit while on power meaning the case is flexing a bit much, of if you want to give the shock towers more rigidity. Our just for the looks of course! I haven't seen any reports of these breaking often so personally I wouldn't replace them just yet, unless I start breaking them myself.
There's other RCs where these break often, like the Traxxas MAXX for example, I've broken the front and rear several times on that one.

Yea buddy!
Got the word from the landlord at the beginning of May that I had till Aug 1 to move so he could sell the place so we started looking at a quick in state move and the average price is now $2,500mo up to about $4,500 depending on how nice you want so we said screw it we are out. Started looking at WY and found a house (there rentals are high as well just not as tall of a ceiling for way nicer) so we actually got a HUGE Blessing and found a Guy that rented us his for only $300 more than what my rent is now (1400) for a 3k sqft home in a really nice quiet neighborhood with only a little pro rated rent, and 1k deposit. So we pick up the truck on the morning of the 19th and we are out morning of the 20th (if I just don't say screw it and book it after we are loaded.

WY is 4.2% sales tax CO: 8.8% in most areas
WY has no State Income Tax Co is 4.55%
WY pop for the state is under 600k and we will be in Cheyenne and they are at about 65k
Denver & Aurora (as of 20) was just a tad over 1.1m CO total is about 5.5m

Needless to say I'm thrilled. We have been making day trips up dropping stuff off and getting things in order for the move. Now we are on the last about 10% of the house needing to be packed up and moved into the garage and final cleaning. We hired a two guys through uhaul to help us load up for 3 hrs on this end and unload in Cheyenne, got the truck reserved now all I need to do is make sure I can fit everything into 26' which I should be able to because I only want to make one trip.

That's great! Congrats man!! I don't think I have to say how spensive NY is..I'd get out if I could. Family is mostly here tho, and we have a home we love, plus I've got 25 years in at my job..at 50yo, not looking to start over.
My brother and sister in law sold everything a year and a half ago, nice newer 3 bedroom ranch on 50 acres bordering mostly state land. Bought a brand new F450 platinum, tri axle camper, and got outta dodge(NY).. been hunkered down in Utah for most of their time..sounds great, till you throw 2 teenage boys into the mix..not fair to them IMO..but, their life,so..
Good luck with the move bud!!
