I got half the link kit on but man axial kits know how to make your fingures sore with all there hard plastic you can also see the difference it made. |

Do you not get a spur and pinion in the kit? What motor are you planning on using and are you gearing this up to be a basher?

I did get a spur gear and pinion i am just changing them for more speed and tunning. I will probably end up running a rx8 eventually if i run it as a basher even though that is beyond over kill. Since i had the day off i finished what i could. i still have to go pick up some new shocks hopefully in the next day or 2. I also took all the plastic skid platting off the stock body as you will see in the last picture. |

So today i went to my local hobbie store and picked up a set of gmade piggy back shocks. i threw 2 on but still have to find some time for the other 2. Overal i was impressed with the gmade shocks but into building the second one, i stripped the top shock tower and now have to order a new sprue set. its attatched but still is waiting on the new cap to fill it with shock fluid.

I am sure that you will like those shocks better than the factory squish sticks!

In my opion the stock axial shocks are disposable.I like the gmade but after a long day of work I miss threaded the shock cap building the last one causing a massive leak, thank goodness they sell replacement tops

I love the look of those shocks and can only imagine how much better they work.
