because he already has the 1s lipos at his house. why spend money when you already have the materials you need

Got her slammed last night! BIG difference in how it performs now!

Looks like you're still using the stock shocks, did you cut coils or just use the springs from those little shocks you showed?

I cut the springs down on the stock shocks. The other shock didn't give me enough flex at all. They gave me maybe 1/4". I have some small brake line at home. I think tonight I will try and make some shocks for it and see what I can come up with that would work for everybody. But the COG is way lower than before and it crawls 10X's better now. It hugs the rocks and rollover is gone!
