I will, soon as it gets a little more testing and tuning

[ittybitty]

But then we dont get to see the improvements!

I have seen the first video..... It works pretty well so far. Always thinking outside the box Rick. Nice work.

If you insist, i built this in about 4 hours from SC to 2.2s, using parts i had in the shop.
Its rough, short vid

That kinda wheelspeed in a crawler, that's what I'm talking about.

Nice! I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my spare Ofna stuff, though I was going to do something more like the Poulson setup.

What did you do to lock the diffs?

Sounds like what people that see something cool and say they were going to do that would say.

It kinda does, doesn't it?

[sniper]

Tomorrow i want to trim off the shock towers, and soften the suspension more, i think i have a set of big bores to try out on it with mini springs, and mount the body,

Maybe i can get a little better video of it running on the rocks as well

[TSK]

Have you tried mounting the front A arms upside down? I figure it'd give you more GC and allow a shorter shock.
