| It works! it also takes a bit to get that first "push" through the bend, but it sure make a difference when going over rocks. My build thread is in here as well. I'm making some updates soon but Im really liking the LB. |

I got a bunch of parts to set up the 4 link. I am just going to do the back first so I can get to crawling this thing. Rain is finally stopping it looks like. Add the fronts later. Jon |

Got the rear 4 link done-with help getting the right parts from Hobbytown-and added 3 oz to each rear wheel. I have a few rocks in the front of the house and it has been fun breaking it in on them-I can see needing some metal driveshafts at some point.

I have 6 0z in each front wheel-one of the HT guys suggested adding some weight to the rear wheels. I haven't driven it much but it seems to have helped a bit. Maybe after I drive it more I can adjust things further. Jon |

On my stock AX10 wheels, I'm running 2 wraps of stick on weights for the fronts and 1 wrap for the rears. I also run Eritex comp heavies that are about the same. I'd suggest running a taller tire like the Panthers for serious crawling and the Hammers or Claws for playing around. What foam setup are you running? stock or memory? |

Looks nice Jon! Were you crawling yesterday? I must have totally missed you. I went to the DVRC meeting in the morning to present to them the latest info on the funfly and showed up around 11. I was back and forth though all day, got caught in the store a couple times helping guys. Sorry I missed you. Rig looks great! Would have like to have seen it run. |

I had my first comp on saturday-overall, tons of fun and I didn't do as bad as I thought I would. I came in 10/20 in novice. I have lots of room to improve in driving though and some things I want to do with the rig. I want to get better with this truck and then someday build a pro level rig with dig etc. Well I'd say I am hooked now. Oh yeah and a scaler... Jon |
