yeah, not like me to bring a rig 3 years in a row, but this thing just plain works, it shouldn't, but it does.

lets hope the rebuild improves it

fooled around with this thing a little tonight.

Got rid of the old boomerang 4 link plates, and switched to an Axial 4 link in the rear. Added about a half inch o so to the wheel base while I was at it.

I still need to mess with the front a bit, I ended up flipping the trans so I could run the steering servo on the other side and run a hand bros 3 link up front, but I am running into clearance issues that might prohibit that from working out.

the two face tires are most likely going away, just using them for mockup.

How bad of clearance? Hard to see what your fighting.

I love the look of the Two face, just hate the performance. somethings dont scale out well, ya know. But I give RC4WD a big for trying. I suppose on certain terrains they work better. just not here.

I kinda gave up on the 1.9 Roc lox. Just hate they way the react when this sandy soil gets wet here, they do a great job collecting and not enough clearing the treads.

3 link mount smacks the trans... I need it to be opposite

And I have plans for tires, I hope

I can, but I was hoping to simplify the steering setup. I'll figure it out

Me and "WTF?" got in a little argument tonight, and I have decided to change my original plans...

this stuff is probably not going back in anytime soon.

Making this work better, and look as good if not better will be a challenge, but I think I have a plan. To bad I didn't figure that plan out until after I just ordered some parts I won't be using

guess I need to get this thing going again if I plan to use it in May huh?

Ended up making new boatsides (steel this time, you will see why in a few seconds )



Going to use this as my class 2 rig this year, and I felt this needed to be a little more prepared for the beating it will get (and well I wanted the points )

So its cage time!

here is the start...




That's all for now
