Just letting you know it's possible, however unlikely, that if you went to a big event and the vendors saw that, they may give you grief. Obviously, if you're sponsored by them, it doesn't matter.

Just an FYI to all that read, getting permission is usually not a problem, and could prevent embarrassment in front of friends at an event.

*Stepping off soapbox*
Just a friendly FYI
It's an Axial rig, they should have no problem with their logo being displayed on it. I had a reproduced Axial logo on my Fastback at Nats and no one said a thing about it.

Bill is a UGC team driver, Juan hates it when we use his logo on our rigs, so we do it just to spite him

Gee.....some touchy people!

As usual, I think some have chosen to not fully read the post. I stated:

"...it's possible, however unlikely..." that a vendor would raise a fuss.

Then their is the topic of professional courtesy, but we'll skip that.

Let the dog-pile on the new guy resume!!!

Had a comp today in North Palm Beach. Another so so day of driving for me. Today i got 5th, kinda weak. Got beat by LCC,XR-10,2- bergs. When i changed shocks to stock losi 4 inch, i developed a little torque twist. When i had my losi's with cap mod there was no TT.(same oil/spring/shock position) Im thinking i have the top of the front shocks too tight, thus maybe creating a bind? I put up pic of the way i mounted my shocks. I have a revo ball in the shock with fuel tubing on the sides to take up some of the free-play.(side to side) Any advice is welcomed On a good note the wantAsummit converter worked flawlessly, no complaintsI still need to get used to 3rd channel positions. I just need more drive time with it.

I have a sense of humor....note the smilies.

No one is above taking or needing advice on something. If you read a couple posts back, there is a vendor who doesn't like people to use his logo's.

But let's not let this get out of hand, it was just intended as a passing FYI for those that may not be aware of copyright laws.

Cheers!

Loosen the front shock mounts up a bit Bill. Mine was just tight enough to hold, but did not squish the tubing in the shock. put a washer on each side to retain it.

I prefer using the axial rubber grommets in my shocks. I had them in the losi shocks on my Fastback.

Link to the grommets . Im using fuel tubing but it keeps bunching up and causing issues galore, whatever. Looks good though, whats with the soldering job (teasing!)

i dont have fuel tubing in the shock itself, i have a metal ball from a revo end. The fuel tubing is just on the outside to take up some side to side slop.I have never seen the Axial rubber grommets?

I guess shock bushing is the correct term. I like grommet better.

Everything around the spur is either in a loom or zip tied. No problem there. It my "joints" never could get them pretty.

Yeah I was just yanking your chain . Heh my biggest issue with crawling besides being stupid (HAHA) is the fact that one bad slip with my messed up knee and it wont be a happy ending! Hey at least you can stay down low and send the car into the danger zone
