Would be awesome to see that parts list. What weight oil are you running in the shocks? Thanks again

With the Pro4 in the IFS rigs I'm running 30 weight front/rear.

With the Novak Timbuk2 system in the SA rig I'm running 30 front (Pro-Line Powerstrokes for Slash front on the SA rig, Pro-Line Powerstrokes for Slash rear on the IFS - both get 30 weight oil), 15 weight in the rear with the Integy shocks.

A lot less power with the Timbuk2 so there's nowhere near as much weight transfer to the rear under acceleration on the SA rig.

We've been having problems with the Timbuk2 shutting off recently. If I can't sort out the problem I'll swap it out for something else. I've got a Mamba Max and Holmes 7-turn puller that came out of Fat Girl. That set-up would work fine in this rig.

Looks really good. Not a fan of the Pitbulls though... they're just so huge that it loses some aeshestic appeal for me. I liked it much better with the TSLs. Were those TSL 2.2 or 1.9?

Parts:
(1) AX80103 Exo rear light bezel and radiator set
(1) AX80109 Exo cage center rear
(1) AX80110 Exo cage center and top front
(1) AX80113 Exo cage driver side
(1) AX80114 Exo cage passenger side
(1) AX30802 Exo shock tower brace set
(1) AX80112 Exo cage lower center
(1) AX80049 lens set

Then you'll need to go to the Exo manual and look up a few screws.

I'm a fan of the performance they offer but on this rig they're too tall. The TSLs went back on after we went out testing the Pitbulls.

The Pitbulls are great on the IFS because I'm not running the front Rubicon panels from Dynamic Concepts - just the hood. I wanted to use the Dynamic Concepts hood and fenders on this one to make it different in appearance from all the IFS rigs I built.

If you buy it piece by piece, I wonder how much that comes out to. CKRC has a deal on the EXO kits right now for less than $200

Do you have any pictures of the pins your using to mate the exo and wraith together? Also what are you using to bond the plastic back together.

I live how those Proline TSLs look on there. I wish they weren't so damn hard to mount on Vanquish OMFs otherwise if buy a set.

It's not spoon feeding. He's Being a great guy and helping out the ones who would like to fallow his example. So I don't think it's spoon feeding anything. Besides do you always figure out everything all by yourself? Or you've never asked anyone how they done something? See everybody needs "spoon fed" once in awhile.

I always make sure to say thank you to someone whos willing to share their knowledge. Thanks Jason for taking the time to spoon feed me and to build my IFS rig. Makes my life a lot simpler to run my businesses and work on other projects im working on.
