Default My Tarmac Latrax Rally

Didn't realize the new metal diff upgrade was not complete; you have to by the diff pinion separately! I think i've already stripped them after 2 runs on 2s...

Next in line after thoughs; steel spur, brushless, and maybe carbonfiber chassis...

Anyone know where i can get stiffer springs for my gtr shocks?

The Rally (road car) stated as plastic gear, SST and Teton supposed to be all steel. I beat my SST on and offroad for months and only broke one stock plastic cvd! Steel spur probably not necessary, springs does Traxxas list any optional? I forget.

Love these little cars, one of my funnest RCs! Parts are cheap too.

This chassis need the weight of the stock chassis. So there will be no carbonfiber upgrade...not a necessity.

Going to order teton towers and see if i can put 1/10 scale shocks on it...i know people do it to the teton but the a-arms are shorter on the rally. Other than that shims and wheels are next...and possibly another body.

Kinda up in the air about wheel n body so far i have 2 wheel options and they fit stock...just got to get teton hubs for one set bc they have 12mm hexes and this has 8mm hexes

I've been tuning the suspension on this thing. It has more tuning options than you might think...so many that idk why there aren't any "adjustable" turnbuckles and toe-links... I have widened it added front kickup and cambered the front wheels back flat but there is positive toe in the front and i have no links short enough to compensate..they need to be about 15-17mm and the shortest I've made so far is like 25mm maybe i can work on that today cuz it's raining.
