Although I don't own a Mantis, Highlucks is the man to ask about the Mantis in it's intended form. He knows it well.

On a separate note you can't go wrong with BWD gear. :thumbup:

Oh, they look right





They are a bit stubborn to get started, but tune it and they are like nothing else

What is your wheelbase on this? I don't know if it's just the picture, but it looks longer than usual.

I'm guessing you are using Jato rod ends on your links? I got to thinking about that. LOL. You must not be comping either.

Yeah you have to be within 12.5". Revo rod ends will get you there.
