Default Must have parts from TCS

well after the incident that left my scorpion looking like this


An order to The Crawler Store was in order...

but I couldn't just order the c hub and a ballend...

So I also added the boomerang front and rear link/servo mounts, their axel battery mounts and added a 7 cell pack for good measure.

Seems a lot more predictable now, and the extra punch never hurt any one..

I have to give it for being a very cost effective mod..

rear


front servo mount, batt mount, and 1500mah pack


top view


can't have a update without a flex shot

Looks good exesivefire, I like the paint job on the H2. What did you notice doing the rear links that way?

Nice, I am about to order the same things. Do the 4 link mounts come with extra ball ends or rod ends not sure on name?

What did you do to cause that much damage?

I've dropped mine 8+ feet and haven't caused that sort of damaged...congrats!

I like that four link plate in the rear...if anything it looks good.

Pssst, hey Andy. You're rear upper links are backwards. You want the driver side on top.



I've been running mine that way with green springs and it works really great.

why are the rear upper links setup up as 1 one top and 1 on bottom?

Is this a shafty thing with axle torque?
What does it help?

With the link mount on the front how does it mount? The servo mount and the link mount use the same bolts?

How much sticky weight on the front and rear did you put in your wheel?

Actually, the holes for the bolts that go into the housing are inside of the servo holes, toward the center of the truck.

ah, I see.. Good deal.. When I go to tcs, all I see is rear mount ones for a single steer setup. Front mount and rear mount universal?

Can anyone confirm which side of upper link mount ( left or right ? ) has to be above or under ? in order to eliminate the torque twist. Tks very much.
