If you could flip the bolts around for the skid and use button heads with the nuts on the other side of the skid to smooth out the bottom, it won't drag and get hung up on them that way, not super fond of the colors but its not mine anymore

Great craftmanship. It looks like it will handle the breakovers well. You may need some weight on the front after the dig is installed.

Im having som issues with body roll i figure the tires are soft of course but would a heavier shock oil or possibly a piston with less holes help it or am i totally on the wrong track when i give it full throttle it spins ofcourse and tries lifting one side of the front which sometimes just pulls it that way nothing like my exo wth mmm 2200 kv on 4s it spins all fours strait as an arrow all the way down the driveway?

Heavier shock oil or pistons with less holes. Your center of gravity may need to be lowered. Maybe a disconnect style swaybar. How does it crawl ? Keep in mind your drive way has a lot of traction.

Exo has independent suspension and thats why. Like comparing apples to oranges.

Rig looks like a blast to drive. Have fun

Truthfully that velenium on 3s packs is to much for crawling ans slow speed cogging with a different motor combo it would be agreat crawler i think. Im going totry the shock pistons then maybe do some sort of sway bar i like that.

Some of the most "simple" parts can take a while. Good looking rig

Thankyou it sure makes you appreciate what some of these guys make its far from easy and very time consuming. I always thought some machined parts were high priced but not anymore if a guy needs them in a hurry. There are some very talented people on this sight.
