|  new four-link and rear-steer lock out.
5o i took the ol' redcat out earlier this week and stripped out one of the plastic gears in the front steering servo. well i had been wanting to get rid of the bat wing and make it more comp. ready, fortunately it came with rear steering. so i made a trip down to the local hardware store, bought some aluminum sheet, tubing, and all-thread with the traxxis rod ends i had already acquired i ended up with this.    |

| Looks Good
Just a thought/question.....that aluminum looks a bit thin......I think if its all you have, double each one of them......but if you can Id get something just a bit thicker/rigid. Them little things take a pretty good bit of pressure ......looks good other than that IMO  |

just installed the zno narrowing kit and ordered a lipo batt. i think i will be able to put the batt on the front axle, or on the bottom plate, it is still gonna shed alot of weight.

Haha sorry, I didn't mean to come off as a jerk on that reply. Sometimes you encounter people who buy a nice lipo, then realize they need a lipo charger too. Let us know how you like the lipos.
