Thanks, got rid of it in a trade. Came to my senses and bought it back! lol

I was running Chino military wrapped leafs but removed the secondary spring that wraps around the end. I tend to throttle out of sticky situations so I was happy with just alittle bend. Gonna mess around with a mixture of springs.

Thanks, that's pretty much what I was goin for. Just was checking out this thread to see how long I've owned this truck. Can't beleive it's been three years, that's the longest I've owned a R/C.

Rather than start a new thread I'll just resurrect this one. Some things I did "good enough" so I could run at the time. I plan on doing is rebuild the Yota 1 axles and mod the leaf/shackle mounts on the frame to fit the Yota 1s better.

Thanks. LOL, just the local Hawaii guys having fun.

Ordered my front/rear bearing kits and shims for the pinion from RC4WD. I should have looked if a more reputable bearing supplier had a kit for the Yota axles.

Haha, that first page was pretty funny. To my surprise, I can read Pidgin perfectly fine- just can't understand it when a local tries to talk to me in complete Pidgin lol.
