2 years, time to freshen up

[Tinrabbit]

A little bit of time on it last night to finish up the steering and got the RC4wd wheel wideners popped on to allow for the needed clearance.
Shocks, well 2 are not leaking but 2 are so I'll add a bit more thread tape to them & recheck again tomorrow.

Update on the shocks, well 2 are decent but do wheep just a teeny eeny bit but 2 others you can see oil running out after approx 8 hr. Looks like the o-rings are the culprits so I don't recommend these scale looking shocks for the rig if you want something that is a quick assemble & go kinda thing. I ordered a set of Pro-Line 95mm shocks & will try to match the size of the bad o-rings with a silicone style I use in the short course truck shocks.

Where did you set the rebound on the shocks? Or where did you attempt to atleast? Fully extended? just curious cuz im running my truck with oil shocks and leafs.

I set the rebound at approx. 1/2 just to go with. Proline shocks arrived & will be going on the rig tomorrow. The scaler shocks have been drained & set aside for now, it's time to get this rig under power once again

Been awhile since I updated but here it is. Got Proline scaler shocks on it, the crawlster kit, the wideners, the gearbox, all bearings, wheels & tires all finished up, the electrics in & operational, slapped on the old bumper I had from last year. Now i'm not sure if I'll go with Jed driving the sawback body again or I really like the challenger/cuda body. I did drive it w/o body on the rock garden in the yard & WOW BANG ZOOM what a different machine this rig is! Did not like the battery tray I had made for above the servo so will revamp that for better results & a little lcg.
