quick question... what size screws are people using for the lower links? 25mm is too short. 30mm is too long. i guess im going to have to cut some 30's down so they fit better

You talking about were they attach to the skid? It was a head scratcher for me as well when i was putting together the ST, so i just cut down the skid a bit so the 25mm would work.

i think thats what im going to do also. just not rigt now. ill finis the moch up and work out the details later.

but i am already at a stand still. when i go my traxxas ends i didnt get the right size... KK links have a 4mm thread and my ends are 3mm so im going to see if i can drill them out for now and grab some more later tonight. i believe the jato ends are 4mm... plz correct me if im wrong

I used the Revo rod ends. Worked just fine. Jatos would be massive.

Make sure you use 2 more bolts to attach the side plates to the skid (not just the ones for the links) this will make it a lot stronger. looking good so far.

It's coming along nicely...

Were you planning on clocking your axles?
Still undecided on mine, was just going to run them stock and see how bad I drag the motor around, at least to start with.

i only picked up the axles from a local shop so im stuck with the tubing for now.

but i do have a few questions. im wondering what im going to do for a stearing set up. from what i can see. everyone has been doing something different. i have the KK linkage so i might as well start there. im jus not sure how im going to mount the servo... i hate doing homework!

speaking of homework. :-( i forgot i have class tomorrow...

motors should be here tomorrow. 45t HH torquemasters. panthers showed up today and my mayhams should be coming soon.

got the esc and dig switches wired last night... ill try for pics tomorrow
