Thanks.  Realism,in looks and performance,is exactly what i was aiming at. And,ofcourse,Guido's suspension has been one of the big examples too.  The weight/torquetwist problem has also been a concern to me. I chose Traxxas E-maxx blue springs and Tamiya TXT-1 aluminium upgrade dampers,for now. Funny you mention the rear swaybar.The lower links i use are made of shortened TXT-1 lowerlinks.(you can see them in the pics^^) I took the side with the (swaybar)hole off. But the idea of a swaybar has been running through my head since. I found several pics on the net of EB's (with modern specs) running a front/rear swaybar,especially the faster ones. I further reduced the weight of the chassis by taking out the three chassisrails-spreaders. They will be replaced by one-piece multi purpose parts out of aluminium.(not finished)  |

Thanks. I decide what i want.Do a little research.And make the parts.(handtools/drillpress) In this case the dimensions of the axle dictate the shape/dimensions of the parts. Shape follows function,you can't go wrong. Usually i round-off the corners to make it more pleasing to the eye. |

The basic tools for most parts/builds.  Use any drillpress you like/is suitable for your needs. Make sure it has variable rpm's and at least a 0.15/0.20 Kw motor. This is the one i have had for years now.  Make sure you get yourself a big pile of (scrap) materials.(lexan,aluminum,steel,brass,copper,stain less,rubber,plastic) That's the real key to get into a nice and crafty scaler. |

It's a roller.   F/r axle.    Electronics and battery under the hood for easy access.  Underside.   |

Are you still running the TLT axles? Maybe this will help.TXT swaybar,almost perfect fit.   My Bronco is about as heavy as a stock TXT,so should work for me. | |

Great idea on the TXT swaybar. You are prolly right about it being close to perfect for the weight. I'm going to make one that looks like a Currie AntiRock though. http://www.currieenterprises.com/CES.../antirock1.jpg | |
