70mm king's shocks.
Vaterra twin hammer rocker arms (Cantilever) VTR234004 Look for used one as they are no longer available if I am right.
Tamiya TL-01 turnbuckle tie-rod set. Hop up part 53300
1 inch 8/32 bolt and hardware for the pivot.
use creativity to secure the shocks at the rear.
Make your own brackets out of 16ga steel plates for the levers.

I run a pen spring inside of the shock to help droop, I run balanced rear springs as to minimize body roll. Its tricky to tune but works well once setup right.

I have the main body graphic done. I wish it would have came out more saturated and the black darker... I blame the printing place, still I had to pay 45$ for a roll of these printed. I have to go to Burnaby to get the white lettering printed on transparent stickers. I realized this week that nobody print white inks... I found a place but again, its 50$ for a print the size of 1 paper sheet... shit, sheet, sheat!!! anyway, it keeps looking nicer no matter what, sorry for the ramble.

here is the hinged front subframe and battery inserts, 2 screws in the rear by the taillights inside the bed. Also pics of my ocd wiring in the front that go in the firewall. (remember all electronics are behind the upper dash only.)

People usually head out there every Sunday. Check out the "Lower Mainland Radio Control Crawlers" group on facebook. I also travel from Vancouver, so I don't go every week, but try to make it out as much as possible.

This is basically where everyone meets up... map.
