It least I don't need to drive to Nashville! Matt

Speaking of "Digging it" how are you guys mounting your dig units? I don't see anyone with a servo popping off anywhere.

mine started out as the rtr model and just switching to the new chassis made a huge difference for me. i'm far from being a comp driver so i can't go into detail about it but its alot better for me

Any more updates on how the rigs have been working with this setup?. Any issues with the brake line bending? I've got all of the parts to start mine(won't be axial) and wondered if everyone was still pleased.

So I like it. We went to corbin park in Post Falls, ID. I let my friend Andy take it out on thursday, he had never crawled before, he did really well with it and said he had alot of fun. I had it running the stock creeper tires and wheels with 2 wraps of lead weight in the front, one in the rear. there were a few lines he was able to take, that i couldnt with the awesome GC the torsion rig has. It is pretty stiff but that also helps to float over some things as well as combat torque twist.

(Wish I had known about torsion rigs when I first got into this, a VERY affordable way to get into the hobby)

I was driving my creeper with panther tires, which gripped much better. and with the remote diff locks, if i do get a tire pinched in a spot, I can unlock that axle and have the rest of the non stuck wheels pull it out! New trick i learned, I am sure I am the last to figure this out.

Anyway, these are pictures of my back porch.

Has anybody built one with TLT axles? I'm trying to figure out how to mount the steering servo up front and I'm looking for ideas.

I ordered the plasic online and the order was kicked back. So I went to Lowes in San diego and they said they could order it. I gave the the SKU#
So I reordered it online yesterday. I will see if this order gets kicked back. Matt
