Default My Nylint Crawler with new paint, and Stretch

Still working on this. The rear links are made from sharpie markers, gonna space out the center link just a 1/2 inch to clear the rear bumper on the axle to get more articulation. I may extend the front also.

looks good - thats the same way i extended the rear of mine. if you flip your rear arm upside down youll get a little more ground clearance.

Thanks

What do you mean rear arm? Do you mean the rear axle or the 2 links I extended.. Have you got a pic of what you talking about

Thanks

The 2 arms I think what he's talking about, or the center piece that connects to the axle.

Hi

I fliped to link brace. When I do this it causes the axle to tilt back at such an angle that I can not mount the shock to the stock frame holes..
Any pics on what you did would be great

Thanks

when u extend it u should flip the rear axle for better clearane and less chance of getting hung up on tht little peice of crap on the axle housing lol

otherwise, nice rig. mines almost the same except i extended the rear the other way so it wouldnt be SUPER SUPER long
