I personally don't like 4.75 size tires they are massive and raise the center of gravity on any 1.9 rig. The Chuggy is built for the Activated 4.50 Class and the Chuggys chassis is built to a 4.50 size tire clearance. | |

| ![]() After the snow excursion and a year of driving time on the Chuggy the servo mount was getting weaker and the panhard bar mount would move if the steering was in a serious bind. I decided to completely redo the front frame,servo mount, and panhard mount. So The Tear Down Begins... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() These front links are still stock! Time for some Titanium links. Upper Link-Vanquish Products 3/16 x 90mm Titanium Lower Link-Vanquish Products 3/16 x 100mm Titanium ![]() ![]() As I was taking apart the Chuggy I found this crack in the frame right next to the panhard mount. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() I used 1/8 flat bar to mount the servo and added the tube panhard mount. I moved the drag link up on the axle knuckle and tried to mount the drag link rod end on the top of the servo horn, Ive never seen this done before so i wanted to try it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() I took the Chuggy out to the rocks to test the drag link and found out that the Chuggy had bump steer and pulled to the right when steered right so this steering setup was a fail. ![]() ![]() New tires to try. Axial Trepadors cut, grooved, and sanded sidewall/ribbing. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

| ![]() To fix the steering I mounted the drag link to the bottom of the servo horn and made a new tie rod with two bends to clear the servo horn/drag link. This steering has no bump steer and turns better than before. ![]() ![]() Pictures Of The Chuggy Together With The Treps Out Front. ![]() ![]() |
