I agree that in some cases the VP links could cause limitations to your steering. This very much depends on your back spacing, tires, and tie rod setup. In snicklefritz's case I don't see there being an issue. On a normal mounted tie rod the ends are going to hit the c hubs before the tire comes into contact with aftermarket wheels. In my own case my tires just hit the lower links at the same time the nut that holds on my tie rod hits the c hub(I run mine with the tie rod above the steering arms) I have my steering end points to stop just before this point, so it is a minor issue. | |

I didn't see any thread jacking, just a little healthy controversy caused by me putting my links on wrong (according to VP). Anyways, I appreciate any and all input. Thanks, guys.

The motor is gonna fit after a little trim to the upper link mount. I won't need to remove much plastic at all.

My straight links never bind I'm fitting a big motor with lots of trimming so I'm sure that will go in with little hassle Last edited by evan03; 09-30-2013 at 11:29 PM. |

Turnigy 2100 kV 1/8 scale motor. Comparable to tekins t8. Crazy power on 5 and 6s. I built this rig for sand. Just happens to crawl decent on low voltage. Pretty good rock bouncer on 4s Last edited by evan03; 10-01-2013 at 10:26 PM. |

Will those shocks give you the travel range you'll need? They seem short?

I thought the shocks looked perfect for the style build this is. Honestly most of us running longer shocks then needed |

| Re: Apparently "Ultra" wasn't enough
I got the motor to fit last night. The trim job doesn't look to bad, either. I'll get some pics up tonight. I just need to get my bec wired in and procure a 32p pinion for a 5mm shaft. Stupid me didn't think about that when I made my last order at RPP, I got two pinions for 1/8" shafts though! Hopefully Hobbytown has some in stock. You never know with those people.

They had one 12 tooth. My 14 should be showing up in the mail today so I should have a good range of possible ratios. Hopefully I have some time to test. Race is tomorrow. | |
