| 2.2 Rebuild Above Comp Worthy...
New axles... My new Smaller Knuckles and Tubes. Perfect for 2.2's. These axle tubes give about 1/4in more Clearance then Standard ones. New shorter CVD's. Don't widen the Track width at all. Went back to plastic gear cases to reduce over all weight. Chassis and axles |

Your about as bad as I am...can't leave a truck alone. What is the height inside the axle C's? I'd like to know if the knuckles I have would fit. I assume they are the same type of alum knuckles that use the white spacers on the standard C? |

A little update. Added a 5955TG for the Servo. Figured that should get the job done easy. Added 2 65t CrawlMax's. I'll get more done woith Pic's later.

Pic's... Got some done... Mounted the Electronics. Well most of them. I made a Plate for the Lipo pack, but it's drying at this time. Only have to mount the RX and maybe a Castle BEC. I have a new set of Wheels coming in. That should shallow the Axle C's and cover that area all up. That should also bring my Track width back done about another 1/4in or 1/2in. I'm sitting at 10-7/8in right now. |

I was trying to figure a Way to lock out the Rear steer, Since I didn't have a straight axle in the rear. Washers wouldn't work with Alumn Parts. I didn't want to use Locked out steering links. Then it hit me.... Takes up just about ZERO Space and is super simple...... Here is my battery tray... Not the best, but works and moves the battery lower and more towards the front then my old set up. | |
