actually I fabricated them out of the same steel you see holding the upper links There just mock up for now, as I will build hoops, I will also incorporate the upper links in the hoop mounts. You know how this hobby is all about building and tearing apart and re building. Andrew | |

I think mine comes apart after every outing, I noticed the axle housings get full of crap so I try to clean them out often. + with the new motors and steel gears I want to make sure the main gear is not stripping out. Cant wait for a steal main gear! Andrew | |

I am using 440 rod and bolts for the inbound upper links for the mock up, so I have about 1/8 of these ends hanging. I have not hung up since the new tires the new tires gave me about 1/2 inch more clearance. Andrew | |

They are strong motors but they have to much stall, the colbalts have no stall but be prepared to change dog bones every outing. I ordered the CVDs but they will not be in till DEC. I recommend not buying the new motors until you upgrade to CVDs and metal gears. Andrew | |

The front and rear dig is good to have, but my thinking is if you dig the front your just pushing and if your on slick or sandy rock you would just push out, I like the rear dig for popping up or coming down steep cliffs. The Mambas brake works great too. Andrew |
