I was looking at it cuz I'm building one but I got confused with the length of the arms, like the pic is to small for me to read and I can't figure ot the length of the all threads of the front and back, plus the Y- thing, (can't remember) really glad for the help.  |

Here you are I am still waiting on stage 2 and 3 Build the shafts by cutting the aluminum tubing and allthread to the lengths shown in the photos.  Make two of these for the front  And two of these for the rear. Next, we'll be lengthening the top link with another allthread/aluminum tube assembly. For this application, use the 4-40 allthread. Cut the front to 28mm and the rear to 37mm. have fun I know I do |

I took the spring out of mine and used a shock spacer that I sanded down to fill in the spot where the spring was.

As far as locking it, it's been said that if you lock it, you'll strip the 15t gear. Rc4wd is supposed to be working on new metal gears for it though. Go check out their vendor section for the "Alum WK/AX10 transmission case" thread and let them know you'd like to see metal gears & a locker for the tranny. I just did. The more of us that ask, the faster it'll happen. | |

Your best bet is making/buying a servo mount that places it over the axle. It removes a lot of the slop in the steering. The other option is buying some 4-40 all thread from a hardware store and cutting it to length. |
