That setup look's killer. I like the servo mount's you made in the previous step's of the build. I'm guessing you scrapped those for the Bta. Either way I might have to try that until I go for a Bta setup. Nice build!

First off build looks great how did you put the fule line in the shock? Is the flange still inside the shock was trying to do that on my build of my ax10 but could no firgure how to inster the fuel line in there. And the stearing is of the chain, thought I was seeing things cause in the prevuse pic. the stearing was normal then it was behind the housing . What di you have off the steering o get a more agessive turnning angel? am running full STRC stearing and would like little more angel, Thanks Good luck with the rest of the build and the competion. |

Looking good, I like the steering setup . Any chance you could take a few close up shots of the steering to put on here? Say a side view looking down the length of the front axle/steerring linkages. Then maybe another one or two looking at the rear of the axle showing the linkage/hardware used? Thanks!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys Quote:
On the steering I had to shorten the knuckles and drill a new hole, there was no other way to do it with the link mounts on the axle case. On the STRC parts you might need to grind away some material and make sure that the screw on the axle C doesnt get in the way. The Axial Universals are a MUST Quote:
The rig is just about done, been running it a lot recently. Here are the pics from its first outing and the fresh paint. Also just got my FXR back from Tekin. The first one I purchased had a slight programming issue that nobody had ran into yet. Thanks Ty at Tekin for being so helpful and getting me a replacement right away. AMAZING customer service!! I love the FXR, so much that I had to try a B1R in the MRC as well. | ||

Thanks for the positive comments on the paint. I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out! Just tried something different. Quote:

Criticize this! So how is the wheel setup working for you? I was waiting to see someone try something like that for a while. |

| Works great. I used quite a bit of weight in the front but the weight bias is only slightly forward. I like the narrower rear to squeak around gates. I highly suggest trying it.
