Default PTI Tuber

Well I decided to build a pti based tuber.

chassis was made by a friend
r2d
bm9 brushless motor
pti axles
pti shocks
axial beadlocks
axial lizards

Here the chassis I started with.

I cutout and made my servo plate for the r2d. Still not totally finshed yet.

I have put my axles on and shocks. I have made my own lower links and havent started on my upper links yet. Now just waiting for more parts.

Are you jumping on the droop suspension bandwagon or will this be a "traditional" sprung setup? Looks good so far. Don't f- it up

Far right now it going to be a drooper. I thought with the springs on. It was sitting a lil to high. But I going to run it in a few weeks and see how I like the droop.
