Told you it was worth the wait to let me paint it before I sent it to you. I assume you are liking it? |

Well I mounted some tires, just the Rok Loxs I put on the EB at first, hooked up a esc, servo, locked the rear steer, and 11.1, ran it..... This could be interesting!! |

Baller still owns it, I'm just doing a bit of an update. He's never driven it, and I'm going to get it going and bound to a 4PL he sent me.

Baller's museum of mothballed crawlers... I'd like to get my hands on a couple of my old rigs he's got and get them muddied up a bit. |

Looking good. Do these axles need to run a truss ?. I have a pair on order and want to run the front as a 3 link but it looks like the truss will get in the way.

| Re: Short Willy You absolutely have to use a truss. They have a single set screw that holds each tube in. The truss will tie everything together. If you're doing a 3 link, then you may have to build it yourself like I'm doing.

Is it possible to put any extra securing bolts in them ?

| Re: Short Willy Unlike the Rock Jock (which has 2 set screws and a 3mm button head holding the tubes on) these seem to require a truss of some kind for support. There's a chance you could drill and tap a hole for a 3mm button head where the red dots are in the picture. It might be hard to start drilling holes in something so beautiful though. |
