Tonight I will get started on the tear down of the stocker so I will be ready for the new chassis when it shows up. Pics will be up as soon as I can get started on the new chassis. Thanks to all of the guys who have recently helped in getting my rig comp-worthy  .-Ashton Last edited by helhedded; 06-21-2011 at 11:54 AM. |

So I managed to get some stuff done today. So far it's a roller with servos. My wb is 12.7 which is a problem that can easily be fixed. My ride height is high right now, but I'm just going to wait until I get the electronics in before I tinker with that.      | ||

Your rig is looking good, are those 4" Losi shocks? Your belly clearance is off the charts! If you want to lower it a bit check out the shorter Losi shocks: LOSA5055 qty. 2 Shock Bodies LOSA5015 qty. 4 O Ring Cartridge LOSA5046 qty. 1 Shock Pistons LOSA5064 qty. 4 Ti Nitride Shafts LOSA5147 qty. 2 2.75" Spring White LOSA5079 qty. 1 Shock Ends & Cups |

Thats awesome, the ground clearance looks huge. I am going to invest in the artr axial when i get back off the boat. Good luck in the comp ashton. I checked out the chop shop it was good pickins. Picked up a dx6i and a jr8711 for my wk, but cant wait to get an axial. Was impressed with how yours crawled. |

sweet! you will dig that 8711, but just make sure that you only run it with aluminum parts, unless you want to break a knuckle every day. Good luck with that stick radio!Now I will never ever drive your rig! [/quote]The stick is working awesome, its like having cruise control cause it has no spring return on it yet. The 8711 is great and it hasnt so much as got warm yet. I burned up my other 2 tower pros in the next few days after we ran. I have the aluminum carriers and such so that helps got my rear strc lock outs on,now i keep breaking front axles. Look foward to seeing yours rn again when its finished up. |
