in the axial (artr) assembly instructions it just shows one bearing on the outside, not on the housing also.

up in gainesville i took about a 6ft fall and snapped a rod end, must have done it there. If Tyler would catch my rig, instead of jumping out of the way and trying to take pics

well finally comped my Fastback today in north palm beach, finished 2nd! DickyT got first.Congrats to you DickyT. As usual tough courses, thanks John. Fastbacks 1 and 2, pretty cool. I need to work on my shocks and ride height. But i was really happy with a 2nd, i still need to work on my driving skills.

I checked out DickyT's build. It wasn't really the shocks causing the problem after all. I had installed VP Razors on the front and it just won't work with the shocks mounted so high. I mounted the shocks next to the links and back in business.

Thanks

dont think you can get a bearing on the middle of a stock Axial rear axle, they are too narrow in the middle.

Ya I have had them for almost 2 years. They have been working great for me... I've had them in some crazy hard binds and I always just throttle through and I have yet to break them... I'd run them again... they're cheap enough and super tough.
