Good call on those shock razors, worked perfect to get that little bit more clearance for the steering rod.

After running this for the last 7 months and taking 5 out of 6 first places in our club comps I have decided it was time to get rid of some of the chassis and link flex. I switched out the chassis plates to carbon fiber and used some Revo pushrods #5318x and #5319x for my upper and front lower links. This has really stiffened up the car now, the delrin lower links I had on it were actually bent from use. I also threw on a new body I had from a previous build.

Just got back from Nats and did ok, 25th place, so its time for another update. Ive changed out the carbon fiber chassis for the newest G10 version I picked up from Turbofest, changed the servo to a Futaba BLS157HV to match the one on my pro rig for easier swapping in case of any issues, and grabbed some sweet 5th dimension "negative space" Ti wheels. I broke my front version 1 Creation Fab tubes on Thursday while practicing and was lucky that Falloout had some version 2 tubes for me and picked up a new front axle case from Rowdy (thanks guys) and got to work rebuilding the front end in the hotel room. All worked well at Nats, just a tired driver, and Im very happy with how the car worked. The 5th Dimension wheels are awesome and I gave them a good torture test all day with absolutely no issues to report, they are very strong and should last a long time, plus they look incredible!

Thanks for having faith in our products and showcasing our wheels all weekend. I really appreciate the support. I'll be getting the Negative Space vendors thread posted once & sending you a PM once I get back from honeymoon.
