| 08 Comp rig. Version 4
Time to take it to the next level. Working on Version 4. Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Started by taking the wheels apart. Getting some new shoes from Mayhem Engineering. Yall can see why it was nick named "sticky pig". I plan on making version 4 lighter. |

Trying droop again. Before. As of right now. No springs, 100wt shock oil. Ignore the mix matched tires/rims. Waiting for new shoes from Mayhem. Just got my badlands m3 yesterday. Put one on a stock axial rim just for mock up. Put some fuel tubing to limit the travel. |

Wow how much weight do you run around your wheels it looks like about 3 or 4 pounds ? The black jack looks great I like the look of it with the bent links.

I like how the links are just flat and at no angle because of the angle the bend is at, fits together reall nice, gonna be a sweet comp car.

-Reworked the suspension -mounted badland m3's on mayhem wheels -still waiting on VF dig. Need to do more test driving, but droop just dosen't seem to perform as well as my sprung setup. It may just be a different driving style. Driving will tell. Last edited by bi_eep; 04-10-2008 at 09:38 PM. |
