| New body on the tracer!
Remember the Rustler body I had on my tracer at the meeting? Well, I finished my new Silvarado body and it looks awesome! I haven't put any decals on it because I am unsure if I am going to trim it more or not. This looks to be more a trail rig/scaler more than a crawler to compete with. O yeah, Jay I took your advice and fixed my steering turnbuckles in the front and I locked the rear wheels different too. What do you think? Last edited by zeek; 03-14-2008 at 08:43 PM. |

| The rear of the body looks to be mounted about 1/2" off center? The rear upper links look to be mounted in a / \ pattern, probably in the same pattern as your lower links. This will lead to a lot of axle sway. Are both upper and lower links mounted in the same / \ pattern? |

It looks alittle off center in the picture because the picture is not taken directly from behind the truck. But your right it is off center by 1/4 but its hard to tell. As for the links, the lower are at more of a l l pattern and the upper are in the / \ pattern. The axle doesn't sway really at all. Thanks for compliments guys! |

looks good, though I would trim up the rear to more match the front. I think it would look better that way and might cause you less hang-ups?
