Finished one upper link, ran out of all thread. Thats great, a run to a hardware store in a big town the Saturday before Christmas. Atleast the measuring is done, so its just mark and cut.

They are 100mm you can get them from www.JPCUSTOMRCS.com That pile-o-parts has taken nearly a year to collect, I don't have a lot of money to spend on the hobby, so I've taken my time and planned things out.

Its a RC Guy Servo mount, darkhorse won it at crawlapalooza, didn't have a need for it and gave it to me, Its very good quality. It has crawlapalooza 2007 etched into it too.

Yes, Dobule J still makes "Da Bull" here is a link to his vendor forum. http://www.okrcrc.com/viewforum.php?...e8b4fa98a1ad27


Well I got so into building the rig that I forgot to take pics. Just have some small things to do. For the most part is it finished, 5:43PM

The flex is exactly where I was planning on it being, about 1 beer can.

I don't think the tranny will last to long it has some really nasty clicking noises.

I'm not sure, I'll measure it.

My red spring measures 63.4MM, I beleive the blue spring is a tad longer. It comes with two spring sets,
