Default Barbarian chassis upgrade

Has anyone seen this cantilevered shock upgrade for the barbarian chassis?

They're probably made for something else. Maybe the Revo.

I contacted Brett on Facebook about this and he said, "Not one we did, but those look like TXT aftermarket arms."

I don't see that as an upgrade.

Sweet paint job!

It may not be a upgrade, but the front sway bar hits my front shocks. I didn't want to shorten the length if I didn't have to.

Those are very nice, the sways that came with my chassis is just bent rod. Where did you purchase those?

Hesse Machine, CPE has them too (the place the chassis came from).

You can prob get by with just these axle mounts, mine are black but you can see how they work in my pic.

What motor/esc are you running? What is your spur & pinion count?

I have the same issue. I bought the machined lower links Brett makes. You can relocate the shocks to them and they will clear then. I also have the machined sway bar set that I haven't installed yet, and might not.
