Yah, gonna do the Parc at Maumelle apartments for now. They gated and have a sweet pool, and Lake(pond) Wimstein (sp?) and park is right behind for the kiddos . So we don't rush into a house and find out we don't like the area. I am all for some sandbar action. |

Sweet ride man! looks like I just found somthing to build out of my DMG chassis! It is to sick to get rid of. One question tho... Why are the front shocks drooped out and the rears short? Why not just run the short big bores all the wayaround?

look at the front linkage/axle... too keep the frontend low to the ground and if i ran coilover shocks they would hit the servo/link plate under full compression. the rear shocks are off hpi blitz rear end..they arent short. i can actually stand it straight up..and let go and it will stay vertical.. | |

The Europeans should make a 1:1 replica of this thing. It's down right dirty.

bit of a update.. had some steering gremlins to hash out.. at full lock the servo overloaded the rx which caused stalling..swapped out rx's and readjusted steering linkage. no more problems! now to find another hillside or dirt mound..? the one i was gonna use is covered up now.. |
