Video testing max articulation of newly acquired Axial Jeep Wrangler! Cool!

I bought a used Jeep from a fellow RCC member for my girlfriend. I was testing it today to see how well it runs and other stuff.

I have to get new suspension links or try to shorten the 1/4" SS lowers up front. The Jeeps drive shaft angle is way too steep and the u-joint gets very hot!! It has shafts from a Traxxas T Maxx I am not sure because it is all new to me. I just know I have to change the links soon.

Check out the short video if you like.

I took more video but it might be too boring.

Looks like a nice little rig. That's cool to get your girlfriend into the hobby too.

Have not had a single issue since running them

Thanks guys for the comments. Yeah my gf loves the Jeep but we have to change the body and color. I bought the Jeep because it seemed like too good of a deal to pass on.

I can't really afford any mods for a while. I do love MIPs and have them on my Wraiths. The guy who had this did lots of upgrades, the trans has CI T-Maxx output shafts, hence the t-maxx drive shafts. I might just lube the center ball in the U-joints. Maybe it was just super dry and friction caused all the heat no matter what angle it would be at?
