I don't run any foams at all, if you run where not a lot of clearance is needed, then these will work for you. I have heard great things about step pins too.

The Geckzilla is coming along nicely and looking like a real playa' 'Zilla. Great job on it. :D Bring on some detail pics when you can.

I get some detail pics once I get my servo mount. 7 days since they shipped it not counting sunday. something had to die, so I went out and played in the mud with the quad. thanks for the complement, I was just about to kick it (frustration from steering) Anyone know how to mount a battery on a maxx axle? I have figured I'll have to use zip ties.

Yeah, I have been giving it some love, except for the steering. all I can do is wait. I had to put limiting straps on it and some extra clips (the motor on the left side weighed too much) other than that the suspension seems, flawless.

Here are the close up pics. I'ms till waiting for the steering parts, so until them I can't do much more than look at it. This is with my limiting straps and marbles added.

thats to keep it from saging right?
ive also seen ppl put a link from the bottom arm to the top arm and connect it at the top were that long screw holds the a arm of course after they cut away some of the a arm....
