and that bracket is so ugly it ruins the look of the axle the rod end blends right in with everything else under there






the hip mod total beef compaired to total meek

To each his own.... I do like your idea too.

Mine was loose but I just tightened it and it has been fine. If I end up with it coming loose I will have to try that nifty mod. Thanks!

Made a few more upgrades then hit up the local RC shop to test it out! The new shocks made a noticeable difference on the rocks.

Man I wish I had a decent hobby shop near by. Truck looks great on the rocks.

Thanks bro. I’m lucky to have 6 hobby shops within a 20 mile radius from my home!

These add lots of weight down low.
