| Well for now it is NOT but the problem was my placement of it up on the Chassis etc.. but basically in a few minutes, I'm off to the LHS to pick up an HS-55 or similar servo I had it laying down on a piece of Styrene, but I ran into two problems, one was the steering link, well it was a real PITA, rubbed the Leaf(the servo horn and the link) and because my battery sits mounted under the hood, it couldn't have the body stay down but I figure get an HS55, do a similar mounting to yours or Scaler's and be good to go for opening weekend at the Campground upstate, this weekend |

Its one of the really small ones, so it bends easy, not sure how well it will hold up to running it but atleast it bends back into place easily.

| Right, that's what theyre called, I've got a few laying around if not I'll just use a large paper clip, hopefully should work. If not neighbor has a vice and ya I've got locking bar clamps and some good Heavy Duty Pliers so I'll find a way..

Thanks to pidgeonfarmboy for moving it to the scale section for me. I didn't get to run it this weekend though I tried, brought it up but had no luck. Tried every which way to get the steering to work with the front leafs with no luck, both with my stock servo and the brand new HS-55. Also used Xmod4life and Bubbles_Bizzo's (Scale 4x4 guys) of mounting the rear leafs and now they don't move at all. So going to ditch the front leafs and return to a traditional 4 link with shocks in droop so it should be running by next weekend, when I go upstate again. Found plenty of crawling spots and should be able to move some rocks onto our camp site for a little crawling area, mom and dad approved so its all good! |

| Not really, it was how it was mounted because the cab was pushed down to stay put, but I fabricated up a clip thing to hold it down at normal height. And what do you mean by haggard? Also the front links were from the rear when it ran shocks "out back" never cut them down, its a 2 link setup and works fine, no play, flexes nicely so yeah

New video and some pics from this past weekend. Unfotunately my photobucket is filled and I don't have time to delete pics so these are the best of the pics I took. Since the last pics the link setup has been re-done, front tires weighted, axle has been moved forward a bit(still needs more, you'll see why) This little guy is coming with me to Canada in 4 days when I go to visit my friend from another forum, and help him with his Micro Explorer Scaler build. But anyway, onto the pics. The mirrors barely made it past the last time I updated this so they've been long since M.I.A. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLrQqUbLoiQ |
