Looks cool so far, interesting choice on a narrower rear axle, but I can think of a few reasons why that would be beneficial.

Used a flat delrin skid with UHMV side plates and some carbon stiffeners for upper link holes.

Looks awesome. What’s the width difference on the axles.

Had great success with this fun-haver today on it's maiden voyage. Rig worked almost perfect. Needs a little rear shock tuning The rock we crawled today in Wendover Nv. was so jagged, wind blown, porous and high traction, that it would wad your tire up trying to turn too sharp and get our servos a little warm. But we could pull some lines I never imagined |

DANG, that looks dope man. I never liked the capra, but i am digging like this. I remember crawling on volcanic rock in eastern oregon. some of it was so sharp it sliced a hole in my proline moabs, it was super grippy though. |

Found a some more pics. I recommend this place if anyone is passing through wendover in the future. Just west of town about a mile up on the hill, easy to get to lots and lots of rock formation Last edited by distinctive pd; 11-02-2021 at 04:14 PM. |
