Default Panhard flex

Anyone else notice the crazy amount of flex the stock panhard mount has? Anyone have a diy fix for this? Can't really afford upgrades with the upcoming holidays.

DIY is cut a piece of angle stock and bolt it to the stock.
My wife’s was fine until a real servo and small tires went on .Samix on order.

I have one of these left. Sometimes they take just a massaging to get link clearance, sometimes not! This is the last one I plan to build so if you would like to have it and willing to pay a little for S&H its yours. you can PM me.

Yeah I could see it being worse with a stronger servo.

I installed the stronger gray shock towers/panhard rod. It's not perfect, but it's a lot stronger than the black plastics, and it was only $10.

I noticed the flex with the gray one.
Just wiggles with a strong servo

I just installed the Samix towers on mine. They look great, fit is perfect, all the flex is gone. Plus, the supplied shock ball ends eliminate all the play with the shock caps.

Cody is da' MAN!



I am still driving mine stock, but as soon as I start adding the upgrades I have the CODYBOY Special Panhard is being installed to deal with more power and weight.

There's a bunch of us on this forum with them!

Got my package from codyboy. Needless to say I'm overwhelmed with what I received. A hard housing, bag of screws, another part of a hard housing, cool murica themed stickers and the panhard mount. Thank you so much for everything!
