Seriously sick build. Love that rear suspension. Can't wait to see a video of this thing in action. Great job so far.

Hehe! I used to have 3 scalers but i cut them down to 1, much cheaper and its easyer to have one to concentrate on. But its up to each of its own.

Ive herd that the first housing they did was a lil fragile on heavy rigs, but the new housings are a new plastic compound and should be more flexible and stronger.

Here is a little update, im pretty much done with all brazing, only cleaning left.

I also upgraded to the double throwdown setup on the front, such a good fit i couldnt resist, im glad i got a new set of 90mm shocks on the way!

The guy who will drive this rig is onboard as well, lucky guy!

And the sliders are done and mounted.

Thats it for now, heres the pics...

forgive me if I missed this but how does it flex with the dual shock setup? Are you running oil in both?

Beautiful rig....

Thanks!

It flexes just fine, no springs inside the shock without springs on the outside, so its like having one shock, there is just the stock oil in them, just a little, these shocks cant hold full oil.

Patience grasshopper...

I can't wait to see these on this rig myself! For the black stickers I am thinking flat instead of glossy vinyl. It will really set it off. I think that glossy would look too "toyish" in this case. What do ya think?
