When installing VP Sheer Steering Rack (which is a must have item IMO), stretch servo saver spring about a 1/4" and will take slack up with out going through a lot of trouble with other fixes. Good till someone makes a better Servo Saver Assembly or eliminates it all together.

This standard servo mount:Servo Mount for Standard Size Servos

In combination with:

TZi spool winch or any servo spool type winch will work.
New style Werty Made front bumper New* Steel Axial Yeti bumper.(Hopefully available 10-14 days, with several different powder coated colors to choose from) is the chitz!

The 711 bumper is a go. I pick up the parts from the laser cutters in a little bit

[Hunter711]

Here's a big wet one for ya brah!

WERTY MADE front bumper style #711
He's got the plates done, just has to fab the up.

[Werty Made]

Yes "the up" is the rough part.

OK, I get excited and type fast.

EDIT: Fab THEM up.

Rc4wd fair lead holes

Vp 1" light bar spacing.

[Hunter711]

The smash plate is being moved up (plate length extended from top to bottom) and the fair lead slot will be on plain with winch line spool through the shock tower. No abrasion factor with chassis. This will put a slight delay on production as to new plates being laser cut. Very Soon.

WOOT!

When it's completely done.

New universals. SA WEEETTT!

[Hunter711]

Filling the trailing arms with bonding compound was great idea.

[QUOTE] VTHokie: My trailing arms are doing the exact same thing. I'm thinking about sticking some JB Weld in there until Vanquish releases their trailing arms.

Remove screws, tape holes, use "Hard hot melt glue" and filled. Great fix!
Adding RPM's A arms really stiffened the front up nice. Now Werty Made #711 front bumper and Tzi winch and my front end is DONE!

[Hunter711]

First off, give credit when due: CKRC, thanks Steven (sales associate) good job!
1.75 days from time of order to my shop. Fantastic!!!
Installed limiting straps and VP rear upper links. Very happy with both.

[Hunter711]

Reshaped CFM side panels and cut styrene to make firewall/rockguard to protect ESC and keep motor compartment clean. EZ PZ!

[VTHokie]

Not sure if you've run it yet or not but they are bending at the front of the links. Check out the pic at the front of my link where it's bowed. I've yet to do it, I think I worked about 80 hours this week. Rig is looking great though.

[Hunter711]

Those areas get filled today.

Then the weak point becomes where the shock mounts to the arm. I can bend it easily with my hands.
Reckon just have to wait for $100+ VP arms.

You can always go with the BMRC rear trailing arms unless you are dead set on the VP.

Im using the carter fabrication ones. I'm also doing a little bit of modification to them since the arms ar steel.
