Goodies:
55t Lathe
Mamba Max ESC
Futaba Radio and reciever
Mashers M3 compound, fronts sipped
kreepy krawler red foams in the front stock mashers in rear
Integy MSR10 internal sprung shocks w/ 100wt oil
Axail bent lowers f/r
Axail slippery sleves for links and steering (work awsome)
HD driveshaft upgrade on the way
7 split cell batt packs on front axle
R2 trans in the mail
Tube chassis
The integy shocks work great slow droop on them so the will carry a tire over a hole.

whats the sweet clear stuff on you links...im jealous...thats what i wana do next. i saw somewhere on here a guy put the tubes from a pen over his, but i like the clear..better.

[getsideways]

i think it might be fuel tubing. nice truck by the way

[wheelspeed]

i hope not ...that would halt forward progress in a hurry as soon as a rock touched it...

It's called Slick Sleeves. It's a teflon tubing that you slide over your lower links to protect them, but more importantly helps them slide off rocks easier.

where can i get it i did a search....came up with nada?

thanks for the compliment, i got the tubes from my local hs they are for the axail. I called the hobby store and the guy said that there is a local guy making them and selling them.

well its definate, I am gonna get an "edge" tube chassis for this thing, I am tired of buying 20-35.00 bodys and end up hacking them all off but the cab, I'll spend the cost of 3 bodies/paint on an edge. But I am gonna make up some quick body post connects to be able to put on my 72 chevy long bed body thats all custom painted. Makes my ax-10 look like a scale rig, wheel base is almost perfect.

you can get those teflon base hoses from a hobby store that specializes in boats
they place them between the braz tubing and the spring drive .

I would have thought your tire would have just slipped off the bottle.

lol i didnt even think about that.. i used it to help slide the shafts in the sleaves lol it was the closest perch i had for a flex shot

[97trxuszj]

ok well I ditched the rooster crawler and went with a mamba max... no more glitching, I took it out on the rock and broke my rear output shaft on the trans and broke the lower plastic rod end on the lower axle side, so I ordered a R2 trans and Aluminum rod ends for all the links, will post pics up around sat.

why are the shocks on like they are?

[97trxuszj]

when I bought them the guy said that the ones who bought them ran them upsidedown to aid in clearance on the frame, and that they have had good luck with them that way

[saltek]

on mine i had the lower links touching the stock shocks about 3/4 way up that s why i got the integy shocks. on mine they seem to miss everything up top.

[Roxhurt]

Where are you getting the aluminum link ends from? If you dont mind me asking?

Thanks for the info. I will check them out because my plastic end links are starting to show the signs of stress a couple are starting to crack.
