worked on the TXT today and came up with this. Found a great spot to mount the lower part of the savage damper. Will do some extreme testing tomorrow. click the link for pics.

Any updates on this? And how did u attach the shocks to the axles? It looks like you put them in the "braces", i tried that with myne and they dont fit...??

I got them working fairly well but not quite as good as the canti set up.

Yes, I drilled a small hole through the truss braces on the knuckles. The rod ends that come with the hot bodies aluminum shocks were narrow enough to wedge in. I also did this with the X factor axles but returned them to the canti set up.
