Do those housings have the outer chub/lockout wobble that I've read about on the Rock Jock housings? Or do they fit tight?

Oh, and whose your driver? I've seen him a lot but not sure who he is. Looks like Nathan Drake from Uncharted.

Nope!!! I can vouch for og housings with vp all the way it's a good fit. There is a bit of space between splines but when bolted together nice fit! & yes Sam fisher!!!

Do you have any issues with that panhard kit. I can't believe vanquish even sells the kit. I installed the panhard, links, and high clearance steering knuckles. The suspension compresses maybe 1/4" flat pushing on the hood. It will articulate but barely. All that money and it doesn't fit?! Very disappointed.

VP is one of the best.
Also need to decide what you want the rig to do?
I can say it does change suspension setup.
You must run front 3link with cms kit.
This rig goes everywhere my old setup did without cms???
All about setup.....

[sic1to]

while waiting on parts I installed some lights, roof rack & changed tail lights to spot lights....light controller hidden in fuel cell!!!



The rear lights will be handy when needed!!!

OMF wheels waitn on new foams & tires!!!

Got a set of swampers & rock crushers with stock foams. I was wanting some advice on foams(ci of course)for those tires with these wraith setups???
Got a set of pb2's with 6.0 DD foams in mind to purchase also...so what works best for you???

[sic1to]

Wheels look great...

Amazing with locked up rc scale lugnuts & hubs!!!

Got my winch bumper back from mg200 also

All shiny now but not for long...got a local trail run sat so we see how it performs????
