Welcome to rc crawling, gotta warn you its VERY addicting!! The chassis is a Underground Crawlers Fastback. Look in the vendor section or go to the website. Juan at UGC makes a great product. The behind the axle (BTA) steering you can get from RPP Hobby. It is a LD BTA. RPP is also in the vendor section. ESC is a FXR, they are for sale all over. The motor i bought used, but i think you can get them on the JP hobby website?

Swapped front shock and links location. Needed the shocks further inboard with the Sedonas. I had it like this before, and didnt know if i liked it. Felt a little "tippy". But i think with the Sedonas being wider AND heavier it will be ok.

We had another comp today in North Palm Beach, another 1st for me. The courses we are making there are brutal! I was able to beat a berg, sss, lcc, ff4 and Rocky666's "hybrid" fastback. In all honesty DickyT and Richardgarrett56 (another berg) didnt make it today. But ill still take the win!! The Fastback did great, with the sedonas and the shocks moved in .Thats two wins in a row, gotta love that

Thanks Juan, Fastback did very well today. The course's we have been setting up have been really tough. When a 81 wins, you know its a tough day.

hows the LD BTA working for you. I have one but so far my only complaint has to be that after I clocked my knuckles back I find that now I got one fun time trying to keep the plate from bashing into everything even with my VP High clearance knuckles

Love the engraving on the plates though, that's just cool. Hit it with a silver thin pointed sharpie and your set

My bta works fine. How far are your axles clocked? I also drilled them out to fit the axial flanged bushing , it seems to take up some of the slop. gonna try the sharpie idea, thanks

Got to do the "top hat" trick, that's one of my 2 complaints with it... the lack of the bushing opening and the lack of de-burring (why )

I have them clocked back "about" 10* but im not fully sure. I have my front shocks "kindof raised/more vertical" so the BTA is inclined to bang into them. ALso I find the angles for it doesn't work to good with my hi-steer knuckles... go figure I fabbed something up else out of M3 rod to get an idea before I CNC it up and its working better (toe in helps!)

At least the 4-link plates nice

The lack of bushings in the LD kit is why I didn't get it... Decided I can make it myself if I have to go out and buy things... What size bit did you guys use to drill for bushings?
