Thanks! I was nervous spraying the hard body with this color since I've only used it on lexan in the past.

Closer to done. The hood and bumper need another coat of paint and the rocker trim isn't on yet.

The kit comes with a standard 540 35 turn closed endbell motor. I'm using Venom Fly 2200 mAh 30C 3S lipos part# 25077. They're just thin enough to fit. The lightbar is a Pro-line low profile 4 inch unit. | |

| Re: Cross RC Demon SG4C kit Have you run it yet with that motor? If so how does it run? Would you recommend a different turn or size?

I've only ran it indoors so far, so it's hard to say. 35T's are a great balance of torque and speed in most rigs. I will say this truck is very quiet though and feels smooth. The weather here in Wisconsin is pretty sloppy at the moment, but I'm hoping to get her outdoors and take some nicer pics. Last edited by TrailDawg362; 02-24-2018 at 11:31 AM. |

The stock shocks seem well built and smooth, but I went with these instead. The ride height seemed a bit too tall and tippy. The Pro-lines are a little shorter and stiffer which should help with body roll. I removed the shorter springs from the rears, allowing me to move the tops outboard some. More testing to come.

The torque twist on the stock setup was not acceptable to me, since most of my trucks are modded closer to comp style link geometry and steering. In goes the Hammer T-case. I had to drop the skid to clear the taller unit without chopping into the cab floor. Not ideal, but I did gain a little better link geometry along with the front overdrive. Now for some real world testing. |

How are you liking the proline shocks?

I drive it around the yard a little bit but other then that I still need to get some time on it, I did notice the roll when you give it gas.

A lot of the body roll is because of the rear shock design from factory. It does a poor job of controlling rear axle movement.

Agreed. I'm thinking about trying some 70mm shocks with stiffer springs. I'd like the rear shocks mounted outboard on the chassis without raising the ride height. On a side note, the overdrive T-case made a huge difference in how it crawls. Glad I did the mod. Last edited by TrailDawg362; 03-29-2018 at 01:30 AM. |
