As per most of rc4wd stuff, its nice to have cases designed to at least build off of when they break. Kinda cool nonetheless.

Edit: And for the xr mod guys... http://store.rc4wd.com/RC4WD-Portal-...10_p_4329.html

Can't believe this is how they did the steering links. Caster looks wrong, too.

All the pics look weird. Link placement yeah...



Dunno what goes on over there.

Cool but how strong I wonder.

Looking at servo mount on the axle, it looks taller than normal? Plus if you notice on the wraith portal pictures, they did samething with links on the bottom of knuckle arms.*strugs*

They don't look that strong.

Servo plate looks about the same height to me, judging from the y-link connector piece/3rd screw hole for the plate. Although it does look weird from that angle.

The link placement looks like its done by a media photographer. Why would anyone get portals to raise the axles away from the rocks then run links down that far to be in the way? Very bassackwards logic, they really need a consultation team or person before linking their pics to a product page.

Hope that 5x9x3mm bearing is only tossed in for giggles and not actually used for any piece of the drivetrain... Seems like all they run over there is 2s and 55t motors, still.

If vp knuckles fit that would raise it quite a bit and even more if you put both links on top.

[Meatwad]

The knuckle is the portal basically. Agreed on the links about the arms though.

[fr8cture]

no those are stock knuckles. the portal is the chub atleast from what im seeing...

[Meatwad]

Oh wow, you're correct. Brainfart on my part...
