They are the Integy droop shocks. They have internal springs.

Quick update for everyone. We are now at $170 donated to Autism Speaks!! as always you can go straight to their webpage for the amount collected.

http://givenow.autismspeaks.org/faf/...m=3619165&cj=Y

I have started to mock up the axles to the chassis and the Integy shocks just aren't articulating that well so I am trying out some Traxxas T-Maxx shocks. they seem to be working quite a bit better so may be trading those in for the build!!

Right now the only thing I can think of that we are missing are driveshaft u-joints and some of the spacers. 6mm I think. if you have any of these things and would like to donate them please PM me. thanks.

Thanks, already got the bearings and have the axle together. Will be a roller by this weekend and can hopefully start tweaking some stuff. We should be able to hold the raffle in the 2nd week of Feb as planned!! We will draw on Feb 13th barring any issues that arise. if anything does come up I will post up in this thread.

Krakker, you helped plenty!! Everything helps and I hope that this has helped to teach a couple people that didn't know anything about Autism something about it....what it is and what it isn't.....I say this sincerely...if anyone wants to ask questions or just wants to talk about Autism, feel free to PM me. I know its not an easy thing to always talk about and some people take it harder then others when their children are not "perfect", however I disagree and believe that you were given a blessing and you should treat it as such.

Also, does anyone have any of the 6mm spacers or any driveshaft yokes?? PM me on that!

[christopher]
