You dont need a better camera Randy. Just put the cross hair on the object and the auto focus will focus there. Would like to see a clearer pic of the moded knuckle.

hey randy are you running the 1st gen cast axles without the deeper threads on the axle housings?? or are your the newer/upgraded ones? the newer ones look like this..with the deeper threads... http://rc4wdstore.com/2/product_info...d064e7585cb54c |

i really like this idea. i managed to strip out 3 out of the 4 knuckle bolt holes and have been searching for a fix. i am running the original non beefy tubes. with those bushings how long do the 4mm screws need to be? i think i need to do this mod befor the vanquish comp at red rocks in 2 weeks.
