 That Rocks! I can't wait to see it in action!
Looks like it's going to be a monster!
I just received my replacement today. A Kyosho MP 7.5 Kanai II edition! 
Hopefully I'll get a chance to take it for a spin tomorrow. 
Certainly keep us updated on the rebuild! Tear it up on the next bash!!

There's a chance we might go out there. My t-maxx is 100% disasempled. Since I was taking it apart for the new a-arms and stuff, I decided to tear the whole thing down, and start from scratch, with the hopes that any drivetrain problems I have been having will go away with the rebuild.
The buggy is also slightly broke, since I can't find the 1 part I need for the rear end. It is still usable, but not very bashable.
So not sure if we will make it out or not, since I don't have much to drive. Neil does have the new Kanaii 2, maybe we can get him to break it already! ;0

mind if I just drop off this box of parts, and you let me know when it's done? 
I have been dying to get my truck back together, but I keep ordering more parts for it, and having to wait for them to show up. =\

the 2 rails that are underneath the chassis. the truck 100% a part, and I figure as long as it's going to be a rebuild.. so I am getting some RC Solustions ones, I think the bulk heads also... should be here next week.
I just want it to work. The last 4 times I have run it, I have broken a major part just driving in the parking lot in a straight line =\
