Nice Joey  I will be taking the plunge and following suite very soon... Already have a custom chassis on reserve when the testing is complete  Any mod plans yet? I am thinking a nice low kv fiago with my 230mah 2s 20c lipo and my micronized mamba 25 from my micro pavement pounder... Should be tons of rock climbing cog-free power. Heath |

the side opp to the spur, the hole on the idle gear shaft is not lining up with the hole on the out dirve. the side on the spur goes on no problems? edit lol i had the inside idle gear on the wrong side of the square notch... DOH man i new it was late last night but lol edit part two... hmm the binding went away, i wonder if it was installed wrong from the factory Last edited by Joeyblaze; 11-25-2009 at 10:39 AM. |

Looking good man. Followed a couple of your micro builds before. Nice to see you over here I looked at doing the Micro T shocks when I got mine but decided to just raise the shock mounts and lay the shocks down a little. Laying the shocks back also helped reduce the effective spring rate. |

I raised the upper links 3 or 4mm on my first chassis. I just wasn't crazy about the geometry.

Well i swapped the Tranny, so more of the weight is towards the front of the rig. I also put a HR roller battery on top of the servo....    however with the drop from the micro t shocks and the battery on the front the lid soent fit no more Last edited by Joeyblaze; 11-25-2009 at 04:50 PM. |
