My mods so far, Anymore suggestions

[tbizzle]

I bought this used and made some mods to it. I would enjoy some criticism, leter rip.

Here are some pics with the body on

Front view

Front before mod

Front after mod

I went to 4 link uppers in the rear, I took the existing servo plate and drilled and countersunk the holes, so i could still use the rear servo. I used the stock lowers for the upperlinks. I had to cut off about 3-4mm off of it to get correct angle. Here are some pics of that.






I also added a longer drag link on the rear as i did on the front.
Before

I flipped the servo
after

I bought some lower links and cut them to length
I took the antenna and changed the way it was ran
before

I ran fuel line around the chassis and ran the antenna in that



Thats it. Now for some input please, thanks.

Wow, no criticism, I must of done a good job. I am a newb when it comes to crawling. I got all the ideas from this forum. Thanks for the help.

A couplle of things i also did was add the losi claws, flip the rear shocks. I added the rubber stoppers on the inside of the shocks in the rear not the front. I also added 6oz to front and rear. Seems to work pretty well.

looks okay i had a paint job similar to yours why didnt you buy bent links for the front also?

Looks really good so far. I like your antenna idea. Thought about adding a slipper? I love the way mine is working and no more twisted shafts, although, I do have a habit of matting it when it gets bound to see if it'll just hop out of the spot.....

Looks great - my only suggestion is to replace the drive shafts with revo's - only if you're into comps.

Looking good so far! One question about your 4 link servo plate. That is the stock plate, right? If so how far in from the edge did you mark for your holes? I want to try this on my stock rear plate. Thanks!

Yes, its the stock plate

Measure the radius of the screw then measure that from the ege of the plate.

For the width i drew a center line and then i divided that by two. You have to cut a few mil of the links to get correct drive shaft angle. You will also need to tap it with a 3 mil.

I tested on a rock before going to 4link and it would torque twist right off the rock. Now i can go up the rock with no problems.

Thanks tbizzle!! I'm drilling the holes today. BTW: I see you drilled a couple different holes for the uppers to connect to the chassis. The hole they are in now work best for you? I have drilled the holes that the stage 2 kit suggests. Just wondering. Thanks again!
