+1 , when I first saw that pic I thought the link was somehow running behind the servo horn but now I see your 2 drag links.

Hey Doc, question about the sway bars... I've got a set of the Axial Wraith ones, but the torsion rod is the exact same length as the mounting tube on my Beast. Chassis tube is 90mm F & 92mm R, while the torsion rod is 90mm. Are the torsion rods on the Hot Racing kit longer than the OEM ones?

Thanks!

I think he used music wire and cut his own, then shaved the center till it has the desired spring rate.

I know you gave up on the IFS front end but you could have tried the traxxas summit front end and used a locking diff when needed and open when you need the steering. Just a thought.

yep, use the hot bodys one and sand down the bar to get it to flex how you want it too. But find some other arms, theirs suck. I made my own and was going to sell them but at this time that fell through.

Never thought about it, but it could be more stuff to go wrong, don't know. But Thanks.
