Is it an optical illusion, or are your lower links bent?

Yes they are bent.. that is the way they are made.....Helps with brakeover angles...

Hank has the high clerance rear links. I think it is the pic that makes them look bent.

I have been working on a indoor course for Hank to tune his truck. I have a ramp with some grip tape that I can set at different angles. I decided to try some different lids to see which one climbed the best.

I would have bet money that the grapler body would have made a bigger difference. I also would have thought that the Scout would have done worse.

It was fun bashing around with the Scout.:badger:

why is Hank always holding his left hand like that...I thought he was right handed:mrgreen:

He is just so happy to be able to drive his truck that he can't help him self.:shock:

hank is the poop at wheeling

Hank does the best with what he has avalable. His biggest problem is his right foot. It's either on or off.

Hank is getting a little lonely. How about some feed back?:)

Hank did some work on the shocks. He runs a 50/50 setup on the shocks.

This is all the components laid out.

Fill the shock with the oil of your choice (Hank likes 90w out of the garage). Install the large spring and put the cap back on.

Did you ever try the shocks without oil?

Hank better stop tuneing his truck and practice driving before sun:ror:

Wish hank could have made the comp sunday

Hank would have just put you one spot further back.:-P

No Hank has not tryed that. There was a big inprovement going to the 90w. Hank and I agree that no oil would be, not so good.

What kind of improvement did you notice? I'm debating if I want to mess with oil in the shocks when I build mine. The 90w you run, is it gear lube?

The thicker the oil the slower the suspension moves. With all the weight on the front of the truck the 30w was not enough to control the suspension movement.

Yes gear lube.

Hank got a early Christmas present. What do you think?
