I'm doing a similar build currently, I'm hoping for good results. I never really liked the TLT axles, and the WK axles seem sturdier than the axial units. Only beef is the lack of a servo mount, but that's not too hard to remedy.

I got some of my parts in. Now all i need is my links. Please try not to make fun of my body trimming and painting even though it will be really tempting. This is the first body I have ever trimmed and painted. It is the new Losi Grappler. I thought it turned out decent but I will let you all decide.    Now that that is done, here is my most favorite part of the build. JPH Racing made me some custom carbon fiber beadlock rings. When I opened the package, all I could say was WOW! These things are awesome. The detail is amazing and I think they will set my truck off. The pics do not do these things justice.   I want to thank JPH Racing and RCP for the parts and fast delivery. Now all I need are my delrin links from Xtreme Hobbies but they should be in tomorrow. |

You should space the shcoks out some, it looks like they would bind

I kinda figured about the spacers. I just added a bar between the chassis rails to spread them out.

I have a quick question, I was out crawling in the snow and it seemed when the truck got away from me, it would glitch bad. If i pointed the radio at the truck though, it would run normal. Im using a TQ3 with traxxas reciever. I guess it is time to upgrade to a better one but i dont know if i could prgram it. Please someone help and tell me what to get  |

The capacitors lower the "noise" from the motor giving a AM radio system less glitchyness. I'm pretty sure, don't hold it to me.

what would you all suggest for a radio and reciever? I would like to get a 3 channel one and without crystals. Im planning on putting an r2d and if i go to comps, I dont want any interference.

The rig is looking SWEET! Might have to do something different with the battery?? For a radio, try the Futaba 3PM 2.4 gig system. No worries about glitching, or frequency conflicts! We sell them for $179.99 Jake |
