Hey rapid, just realized that your shocks are not mounted to the chassis. What changed with your original plan? Was it because you had to add the limit straps?

| Re: Project Zeus: Cycon's Steven Eugenio Trophy Truck Build Yeah I'm not sure, mounted vertical it didn't have the correct compression. It had less friction on the shock body so I couldn't set it up right. Real trucks can do it because they have bypasses. I may try it again but the way I have it now it's working great.

One more question, i saw on one of your pics that the a-arms look like they had been shaved down at the end where the caster blocks connect. I'm guessing you did this to gain more down travel or?

So sick! Almost couldn't tell which truck was which haha. Got my desert vid up, wasn't great though since my brother doesn't like filming for me and I had to use the youtube editor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Nice. Loving what appears to be ice (we don't see that in so kali). Now the part that sucks - cleanup on a raw chassis. Nice edit, you've got them down to a science. I think the 2 truck format is awesome! I still love the first beach bash, that truck killed it. Looking forward to see her with a body, tearing it up. Well done.

I spy... a spare driveshaft... You should try to attach spare parts around the truck in case of breakages kind of like the real things. That'd be pretty kewl Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
