I got some new stuff for this rig to make it perform at its highest potential. First off i picked up a Losi Grappler body. Very light and fits nicely on this build. Next up was the Goat. This thing has got insane wheelspeed and torque. Love the no cogging. Lastly was the Vanquish revolvers. Wow practically mounted themselves. Also installed heavy duty lockers for less slop. Also went with the triangulated links and soon to parallel the uppers. What a huge difference with the way this gets through the rocks. Last edited by rc4x4crawler; 06-23-2008 at 09:19 PM.

I see...So you have to mix up soem funky links to make it work right...I have the STRC bent links and can't get it to work..The MIP drive shafts won't fit with those links...HHHHMMMMM. Maybe I will turn it loose out here to someone who wants to mess with it...Thanks for the pix...

cool. I contacted the guy from Rocksmith to inquire about Titanium links, and I am ordering some delrin rod as well. One freakin way or another I will get this to work, I just think the posts provide too many edges...Nobody currently offers a short link for those do they?? Thanks for your help

| Ya the gc is 2.75 in the front and 2.5 in the rear. And the shocks are 2.5 in. in the rear and 3 in. in the front. The rims are awesome and practically mount themselves and weigh a lot more than my rc4wd beadlocks. I would definetely recommend them. |
