Default Droop MRC

Heres a picture of my mrc in the hills was pretty bad went to get x-mas trees and no snow even at the top of the mountain but had fun. My drooper is running stock shocks with heavy oil and no springs, but fuel tubing outside for limiting, it runs ok but I think ill be added internal springs as soon as I get time. It has all stock electronics but everything is on the links and no more battery tray it was tossed and put in 60mm axial rods for support. I dont like the stock plastic lockers cause mine went out on my second drive. Was worth buying and is definately a change from running a 2.2 well heres a picture and I might post up a video.

I don't know how you people are blowing your stock drivetrain pieces with the stock electronics. This is what the slipper clutch is for, but I have to say my slipper has never kicked in. They have it extremely tight from the factory.

I also bought Axial 60mm links. Could you please post photos of how you have the Axial links and shocks mounted on yours?

I tried running my stock MRC with a droop setup just by removing the springs. I liked it because it lowered the CG significantly, but it also took away too much ground clearance.

He's using fuel tubing to adjust his ride heigth, but still keep a good low CG.

Heres a couple of how it looks. The front will be moved soon cause my battery is acting as a shock limiter instead of the tubing when on flat surfaces.
