Looks sweet I'm considering getting the mantis was it hard to fine tune with the torsion in the rear?

Do you like it better than the stock chassis?

I sure did...it took some tuning, mostly with weight at both ends and removing all the braces in the tail of the dub. Then finding the right shock and spring combo.

I really like mine

Sorry, let me correct that....I removed all the braces in the main chassis in the rear....twisted better

New setup,Rc4wd gears, got rid of the hr knuckles and lockouts to go with vp, dlux knuckle weights and rear lockout system they work well! Then had to ditch the vp dh procomp 2's for dlux cf v cuts with with dot sedonas, rowdy racing servo armor and front gaurg battery mount, and some new panels, tell me what you guys think.

I think you have a carbon fiber table??? You MUST be single.

Interested to see how the lightweight wheels work on this. The limited exposure I had to the 2.2 Mantis that a club member was havin issues with...showed that it liked weight. The further out on the axles the better.

Really man??? A fuggin CF table??? I miss bein a bachelor...until I get horny or hungry.
