Y U NO Crawl? - Axial Mod 3.0

[cagedcbr]

Awesome rear clearance, thankfully sporties are making a strong come back. We may have a decent sportsman class come the 8th. With only one person currently signed up for it, it doesn't seem like it will be very competitive. Last comp I came first, not because of my driving but only because there were only 3 of us and I was the rig that did not break.

I should be in for sportsman and pro. Shouldn't be very successful since both rigs are practically all new with no testing, I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed LOL.

ya i've had some drive time with the delrin rear links but zero drive time with the new TI links, evos and xros. Even with the delrin links I was able to pull out of vertical climbs over rock edges without touching bottom. I may get some drive time in tomorrow at GTA.

The build came out great, MOA ground clearance with a shafty,very nice.

[sourdojack]

you can run an extended output on the back of your transmission in place of your dig unit. if you want to turn it into a sportsman truck.

I'm waiting for someone to frontside jones on a big rake like this. The IC and antisquat would take care of itself. You could probably get away with mounting the rear links on top of the axle to use smaller bends closer to the chassis.

Stop making me rebuild my car, Jess!

Just found your thread tonight, awesome setup.

apart from that the rig crawled as expected, better than my driving.
