Hmm, the kit is kinda tempting, I can just talk the electronics and drivetrain from my SCX10...

Just need motor and esc and radio and servo.

Sweet rig, I am eyeballing those driveshafts - I've got 5.5" shocks on my SCX-10 Bronco and can't run my 2.2 tires without blowing a driveshaft off, and I'm looking forward to ordering RC4WD shafts at their crazy prices. Currently I have some Traxxas shafts in it, and haven't broken one yet, but I also have kept the 1.9's on it. I have crazy driveline angles, but the articulation with the monster shocks is so worth it. I'll get some pictures up sometime, I left my truck at camp.

The wraith driveshafts are the strongest ive seen yet. Full metal cuplings, and they are thicker then stock scx10. Ive never had a problem with scx10 shafts

Just looked 'em up - and for the money - I'd rather spend the extra $70 or so the RC4WD shafts will cost. The wraith shafts still have too much plastic for me - I'm at the point where I might have to ditch the stock plastic axle housings and bite the bullet and buy the scale Dana 44's off RC4WD, but I am going to wait until I start snapping axle shafts for that to happen.

EDIT - Your comment on the Wraith shafts being the strongest you have ever seen made me think you have never heard of RC4WD - you should check out their store, but hide your debit and credit card first. You can buy divorced transfer cases, 3 speed gearboxes that you can manually shift from 2wd to 4wd with a servo, axles that have servo activated lockers, heck - they even have an ARB diff cover for your stock wraith axles for like $20, scale military wheels... A set of axles off of them costs what a whole kit normally does.
