Default LCG deadbolt crawler project

I bought a deadbolt because I wanted to get back into crawling, can't say it was my best decision but, I'm building it so it works.

So far I've done
- battery/ electronic flip
- lower body
- axial aluminum stage 1 kit
- wraith beadlock and tire set
- wheel weights front = 4.25oz rear = 2oz
- HR aluminum steering
- STRC diff covers
- Vanquish front axle truss
- front wheel well trim
- flipped axle brackets
- axial 25T horn
- 14t pinion

On the way
- aluminum knuckles and C's

Hey nice start, looks great, seems just enough, imo.
always dont need a fully maxxed out alum. bling bling ride.
i thought the tire /rim combo looked like was from a yeti.

I have the AX10 Ridgecrest, I have had good luck with softer springs.
The 1.04 Black axial set is what I run. Friends have had good luck with purple. I think they are 1.47lb springs.
Honestly, The Vanquish link set is the way to go if you are going crawling.
You can extend the wheel base more by changing the ends.

Thank you for the info, I did forget to add but yes I also added the black springs and it's made a big difference.
