I own a 1/18 Nylint and i loved it and it was the reasont hat i am hooked on Crawling now, but ever since i got my stick crawler it hasnt done anything but sit on the shelf. I pulled it out the other day and it could barely make it over a pile of clothes i had on the floor. I was very dissapointed.

Could you explane your suspension mods the step by step you got lots of flex and i want it mine is totally stock and this would be a good first mod

[Bknight]

the first trick is drilling out your suspension

1. unscrew the suspension
2. take teh bigger piece, and unscrew the slider piece from it
3. take the bigger piece, and drille out the plastic flange on the indside of the bottum (go slow so you don't drill it all out)
4. re attach all suspension

my other mode for the back
1. buy some ball end mounts (that you use for 4 link suspension)
2. take the body off
3. take the circut board off
4. at the top by where the antena comes out, put a screw in that corner that will hold your rod end
5. repeat for other side
6. mod circut cover so it fits
7. take the stock screw from the upper susension and screw it into the ball end join
8. move your bottum suspension to the forward position on the axle
9. put body back on
