Also it looks like just bad packaging and might be a problem with a lot of them.    |

Dont forget to fab up the bike carrier...noticed the tiny twenty-incher hangin out there by the ashtray. For the tubing, I'd go with aluminum for weight savings but i also like the brass for the times when you just gotta test the integrity of your rig.

| Re: Project Blackberry (slowww build)
Haha yeah that would be a good idea. I'm not sure which direction I am going with body. The wb is about 12.5 in. and I really like how they perform with a 12 in. wb but I can't see any way to make the body I have look right. I would rather change that than go with a shorter wb. I can have this done pretty quick as I have been putting in extra hours at work and just got a raise but I want to get 33s for my truck so this might be at a stand still for a month at most. Blurry pics, low light and to lazy to break out the tripod-   |

More done today-     It is going very smooth so far. Everything is coming together exactly as planned, I can't believe it. |

| Re: Project Blackberry (slowww build)
Thanks. I am noticing some problems as I look it over. The servo is a little to far forward to allow me to mount the battery up front so tomorrow I will either put shorter links or try to drill new holes to remount it.

| Re: Project Blackberry (slowww build)
Well remounted the servo as far back as it can go but I still need about 1/8-1/4 inch of clearance for the servo to clear the battery. I may just put the battery in the back but I already know how much I hate that configuration. I really don't want to swap the links but i think that may be the best plan. Where the wrench is hanging is about the balance point I would like to get it center or just a little to the front-  As you can see, servo is way far forward. Running honcho links but with these axles it puts me at 12 7/8 wb-  The Sami body, have it cut out for the battery. Going to cage the rest-    Wishing I would have got shorter links to make it all fit better but I prefer a longer wheel base |

Made a Battery support to allow me to run it up front. Not the prettiest but it works perfectly.-     |

No I think they are a little bit skinnier. So I have decided to scrap the Sami body, it is just too small. Right now I am pretty sure I am going with the g6 body. Alot of people have that and the ps rubicon but it is a really nice body. |
