Yeah man!! This thing sure is sweet! I can appreciate all the upgrades for sure.
Money pit is fitting, more in a Sketer that hasn't been run yet than "any" of my 6s rigs!!😮🤔🍻
For the record, I'm a low budget baller though!!😉😎😁
Nice work, and work area!!

Pretty sure they will. According to RC Hobby explosion and Jenny's rc, the Sketer and XTR share the same part numbers for the plates.
Also worth noting, they could be used as upgrades to any of TC's 6s rigs. The part numbers for the rtr kronos plates cross to all 6s rtr's. The Sketer and XTR use same plates, just a tad thicker. The pins "may" be different, I didn't go that far into it..but I bet they're the same.
I've seen these beauties(Erik's) here on someones XTR kronos previously.
 
In case anyone missed it. ALL the Corally straps suck, even the new updated version.

Everything else I’ve purchased from them is nice quality.

That's rc porn right there!!😉👍 B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L🍻
One thing I can't help but wonder.. how's the fan at the rear of the motor going to move any air if it's butted up tight to the chassis gaurd? I would just take it right out and save it for later, after the other one above the motor takes a dump.. they all do. Just how it goes with these things.
Looks awsum tho!!👌

Thanks bud. As for the fan in the rear, it has a small center void behind the fan that allows air to circulate. Surprisingly, it flows pretty decent. I stayed with the recommended 15t per the manual and with both fans the motor should stay fairly cool.

Had it to but got rid of it. 2 fans on the motor is much better 😉
 
Finished mounting the rearend to the chassis and all the associated parts that go along with it, including Tekno drop screws.

All I’m waiting on now is the POS big bumper that’s coming from across seas and it’s done.

True, but the 4’s, higher tooth pinion and a programmed esc will be plenty for my needs. I mean I could get stupid and cut, modify and cram a 8’s in mine if I wanted but there’s a point where to much is to much. I like things clean and factory looking while adding a tad of performance to it.

Again, you’ve help a lot with ideas, so thanks.
