No need for the bearing mod with the VP Cases and motor plates

Thanks for help jeepkid

I do have ideas on electronics, fxrs & hh motors, hitec 7950, futaba 4pl.

I have some Billet works design items in mind also. And would like the vp knuckles but running stock wheels for now so may need some axial knuckles or run stock if they can survive. I don't really wanna cut my wheels up.

Its been a long wrenching road for me. I've spent more time building and Modding than actual rock slappin. Just like Postclanker says. The build is fun. It gives you a better idea of finding problems when they arise

Take your time and do it right....do lots of reading in here....
I actually made my own steering link...6/32 threaded rod, revo rod ends, 1/4" aluminum sleeve...it was actually easy. Be careful with cutting back the bottom axel...I messed up the first attempt...
