Got the rears fitted.....



I had to point the piggy's inward at the front as they were hitting the underside of the cage, I guess if I got the HR front tower I could mount the shocks in a lower position and point them outwards without rubbing?

Exactly why I stay in the DRY dirt. NO WAY I am cleaning that mess every time. I run 200K in the front and 500K in the rear and really like how it works.

Fitted a HR front tower



I can now run the piggys facing outward without them getting hung up on the cage



I've got a different combo turning up tomorrow, the HW Max8 2200kv combo, so I'm now going to be more prepared to run in the wet, the Xerun combo was too nice to risk it getting ruined in the wet

From these guys, but they don't list them at the moment, I'm not sure on the price in the US, because I had to pay extra shipping and customs

Items in American Machine Works Ohio store on eBay !
