Default hows this?

i've been working on my parts list for a comp rig, hows this looking?

WK roller
Axial Trans
Hot Racing dig
Gear reduction 600
jato shafts
maxx shafts
micro servo for dig
645 servo(for now)
chassis will be a kncok off BMV-ii
panther truggy tires with moab sidewalls
lead weights wrapped around hpi super sized rims
micro sidewinder
CC BEC
2s lipo(5000 mah)
400 sized outrunner(750kv)
plus all the normal odds and ends


will eventually have some weighted rims from TCS...i think the name is going to be spider pig..cause its guna be heavy guessing around 8lbs...if i should change anything on my shopping list let me know

I would ditch the torsion chassis and go THIS route... Stay true to a WK

I don't know of anybody around here still running piano wire trucks. Even the DNA SSS didn't last real long.

Just my opinion...

the reason i want a torsion is because i know what the pros and cons of both setups are. for me, with the 4 link and shocks its more to maintain...with a torsion all i have to do is heel gears in it...i know i wont have bookoos of flex like everyone else does with shocks, but ill have low profile and and low CG. i've done my reasearch back when tlts were still popular for comp trucks, i do like the looks of the shocks and whatnot but i can drive a torsion better
