Default soundcolors mrc 2010

Been lazy on getting pics up, but here they are.
I just finished my motor up, and did an OTA steering setup.


enjoy
















and the OTA setup, it has now been sleeved with orange nitro fuel tubing, I used 4-40 all thread, and some random end links I had laying around.

Hey Sound looking good. Any reason for running your tires backwards? (IMO).

The theory is that with them turned that way, they will naturally want to pull themselves toward the inside. Making for much more stable climbs...

Thats the theory... in practice, its because i like the way it looks better, and havent had a chance to test it out to see which way works better.

I love the mixer, I think it is bar none the best kit on the market. Endless adjustments, lightweight, and indestructable. RcBros deserves a pat on the back for doing an outstanding job

One thing you can do to tires, is cut the edges, it helps big time! One the guys has cobras and did that, They hook way better now.

Awesome rig!!

Can you please provide me with some details on how you mounted those shocks inverted. I was just trying it and the shock cap was interfering with the lower link.

Looking good. I like the steering setup. I recently retired my cow painted grappler for a Bronco myself.
