Once I figure out how to clean up the presentation (most of FCPX still baffles me) I can get some properly good looks at the lines.

Portal. I'm starting to come around to the straight axle, but I just prefer the portal Phoenix. I mean, I do have three VFD-Twins on portals and just one on straight axles.

The Gazoo-inspired paintjob also has a bit of Frankenstrat look to it-- which I think someone in a previous comment also picked up on, and suggested Eddie. Seems to fall inline with my apparent recent trend of just giving rigs "people names." I had similar feelings about the ride height-- side by side, their bellies are almost perfectly parallel. If not for abject laziness, I would like to bolt the 80mm Incisions from the portal on the straight axle-- which would lower the body significantly. But ugh, so many screws. Well that, and if it works, I would need new shocks for Argentum, and 80mm are few and far between.

@@CrawlerCanyon My guess was Eddie Munster-Mines. I was way off.

I remember an interview with Casey Neistat, where he basically said that the algorithm doesn't care about anything except quantity. The more you feed it, the more it will put you in the rotation. If I go two consecutive days without an upload, my "impressions" drops like 80%. The algorithm's theme song is "What Have You Done For Me Lately." So I just keep plugging away at it. Someday!

I have some sort of issue that prevents me from having two rigs with the same body. I don't know what it is. I bought the straight axle maybe two weeks before the slider came out (and also before they were giving away free machined gearsets) so I had to sell off the body and the wheels/tires. I love that Phoenix body, but theres no way I'm going to have two of 'em.

@@CrawlerCanyon Yeah I don't really want 2 the same. You don't have a stock TRX4 sport shell do you? Wondering if the body mount holes could be made the same so that it could mount on both a Phoenix and TRX4 chassis and be interchangeable?

@@tiborbeetles1882 Traxxas uses the "narrow spaced holes in the front, wide spaced holes in the back" on all of their bodies. So I had to modify it a little to work in the front, and I just drilled new holes in the rear and put stickers over the existing ones-- because as we know, Traxxas pre-drills everything. So it can be done, but it's not a "drop in" sort of thing.

Fire whatever reason, that Sport body has a 305mm WB. So the rig was shortened to accommodate.

I can't bring myself to have two rigs with the same body. I sold the Phoenix body from the straight axle before I'd ever painted the Sport body.

Traxxas Sport Camper, TRA8112.

@@CrawlerCanyon will that fit on a vanquish phoenix?

@@edespinosa4180 Absolutely. The red and black one a Phoenix.

On whom? The two bodies are almost exactly the same weight, and the rear cage on a Phoenix, you might be surprised, weighs almost exactly the same as the cab. The big difference here is portal vs. straight axle.
