yeah the revo rocker arms work sweetly and i made no other mod than screwin everything together,i had to machine parts to hold the rocker arms but other than that it crawls awesome,i get twice the suspension travel due to the leverage im not runnin any springs so it sags but at full sag i get a lil shy of 3 inches of ground clearance and the traxxas big bore shocks have ofna 5000wt diff lube in them, and i had to pull the tranny cuz i broke the output that the drive shaft hooks up to(kinda disappointing)so hopefully im gonna machine some out of 304ss today,and I'll make extras to slang if anybody is interested in gettin indestructible parts, but thanx for the input guys greatly appreciated.....

Be carefull making your parts at work. Most employers don't take to that too kindly. I have my own fully equipped shop at home and I am retired. Nice looking work though, progressive thinking.

yeah they allow us to use down machines and we are able to do some production parts of our own they just say if we do alot we just gotta cut em in for the machine and tool usage,my plan is to get goin on some parts to open theyr eyes to how huge the rc market is to hopefully get them into goin in to production
