That looks great, man! Nice and clean linkage work. Curious: why did you choose to do Hubs and Cs for the rear and not lockouts? Does that aluminum skid have a smooth bottom or recesses like the stocker (along with countersinks for the screws)? What do you think of it, compared to the stock skid, and its "sliding" abilities? |

| Right. Many are buying an extra set of drive shafts, cutting the female end in half, and gluing those halves in both sides of some tubing (aluminum, a plastic pen, etc). IIRC, there should be more information in the Micro Mod Bible; it's discussed here somewhere, I read about it just yesterday after wondering the same thing. I think I searched "Drive Shaft" specifically in the Micro section.

That is very nice, can't wait for my chassis. What length are your top and bottom rods, been trying to fund what people are using. Thanx. Is that just alloy tube you used over the m2 rods? Looks very clean and tidy, 1/8 tube? |

Just an update: These just showed up today, Rock Crusher Micro Tires. The Rox Lox are still on order but they shipped these cause they had em. I was waiting on using my BWD wheels for these tires once released. Let me first say "I love the wheels" awesome workmanship & tires went right in the bead no problem. The little bit of time w/the tires I like them. Seem to grip good, Soft rubber compound, Good looks. |

those look great got mine today as well. I plan on beating the snot outta these tire when I go back home to southern MO next week. I havent mounted mine yet so i have to ask how do they flex they seem a bit stiff but they seem like they will soften up real nice.

| The little bit of driving that I have done... Hook up pretty well on the rock's I have here. I left the foams in them, I will remove & see the difference when I have little more time.
