cant wait to see how this turns out

rocksteadily · 12-24-2009, 07:43 PM

so i have 2 weeks off and i was gonna try to start on this buut...... i was enjoying my sleep and going out to the beach and tryin to learn how to surf( failed) but i was trying to figure out how i wanted to do my suspension and i thought id give droop a try. i took the springs out and the oil too just left in a little for lube. i took out the scx shock shafts and replaced them with ax10 shock shafts to give it a little more height and this thing can flex big time, not sure how it will perform yet but at least the flex shots look cool. i also ordered the hand bros 3 link kit and chassis mounted servo kit, hope it works well...well here are some pictures of it so far....
and anyone with really good suspension advice please help me out if you think this is wrong???

i just got a iphone, so thats my camera now since i accidently washed my camera in my shorts, but these pictures are better than my camera anyway! i love my new iphone

i dont know much about the hand bro kit but i do know that as high as your truck sits now if you install that kit it will more than likely push your left tire out from under the body under compresion. i have seen this on several setups and they sit much lower with stock suspension geometery. it isnt as bad as some make it sound on stock scx but im affraid youll just be spending the money for another project if u buy the steering kit for this truck (the install requires cutting one of the stock mount posts off of the axle). although if your creative enough if you think about the 1:1 rigs they use drop spindles and pan hard brackets and such, you may have luck if you do the same process on this.

just my 2 pennies, i plan on put the hb kit on my scx as well as soon as the holiday rush is over.

i already cut off those servo mounts and when the suspension is not flexing it sits super low cause of the droop

Where did you get the body? It looks like a nice alternative to the Clod body.
