Didn't get 25% off nor free shipping when trying to check out. Coupon code needed perhaps.

Sorry about that!

What would this look like with a truck body on it?

I almost bought one on black Friday but wanted to see it with a truck body.

Been so slammed here in the land of all things Billet Works

Should have the tall chassis/cab sides up posted up by end of the week hopefully, as well as a couple of sets out to customers. I have a bunch of these on their way to new homes!

Just got mine too!




The thing that I am struggling with, is how the sway bar attaches. Is it supposed to attach like this?



There's a ridge on the backside that looks like it's supposed to rest against the chassis.

Looks like it needs to go back a hole, and that "ridge" goes in that long narrow triangular slot in the chassis.

Won't fit... It's too big. (that's what she said!)




*edit... To clarify, the delrin pieces were installed on the bars before they were bent. So, in order to fit inside of any of the holes, means the one side would have to pass through the hole in the chassis first. (not sure if that was obvious or not lol)

Almost ready to go. Just need to extend the motor leads a few inches. Running gear is just a complete RTR Yeti WP brushless setup, a TowerPro servo and stock Bomber axles. Just looking for a cool looking wraith sized bashed/crawler so I decided to stick with 2.2's. Baja Claws mounted on BWD Mod-locks. Transmission is a HR unit. Don includes a nice low cut motor plate that is required to clear the chassis cross members. It didn't clear the HR slipper couch back plate so I simply had to countersink the motor plate for flat head hardware.

So if I order from the link below, do the sway bars not come with the kit?

Also, how do you go about mounting the body?

The swaybar does not come with the the kit. However you can get it from Vanquish Products along with titanium links.

I have a hard time spending close to $100 on links alone, regardless of what they're made of. Could I use stock Yeti links with this?

Of course you could. Pretty much can use any links as long it's similar in length.

Most links will be too short as the skid is so short in length. The links on my truck are 6" eye to eye.
