I guess it all depends on the chassis and the body. .

Surely having a longer wheel base , you need longer drive shafts ? Sean. . |

I'd like to have longer front links so the steering servo is more forward like yours Daniel , of my Pro-Line tuber cage... How do you make them is it solid alloy bar that you drill and tap a 3mm thread into.. Sean. . | |

As far as Drive shafts, I used the MIP replacment Wraith units. Perfect length for my build. And I have to admit I have destroyed Junfac shafts in the past. I have always run MIP in the past. The one time I swayed away I got shafted. Last edited by DRV KRAWLER; 01-17-2012 at 12:28 PM. Reason: edit | |

Calvin is a Great Guy, he will do you right. Let Calvin know I have more of the material I used. If you figure out your measurments he and I can work it out from this end. I am sure you would rather not ship back and forth from Ireland. Let me know if I can help out Sean. | |
