I ended up with my old super back in my posession, but its just links axles and chassis. I put the tires and wheels on Destroyers and it handles 20X better. Took it out for some action pics, and a video or two. Gonna go ahead and apologise for the crappy quality. Camera sucks when it comes to videos.      |

Thanks man! Heres a picture of my old super. I guess I will slowly turn this into 2 build threads for a while, then into 1 again after ECC. For the one below I need: 17mm Adapters Servo mounts Better link mounts Correct lockers New shocks All of the electronics Body  |

So i decided to combine the two trucks i had. The black chevy had really good axles and things, but the chassis and links didnt work very well, so i robbed the Hellstrom chassis I won from JPcustoms and the links i got from Krawler Hobbies from the blue truck and put it all together. Now we have this:     Its got alot of room to work with on the suspension. Im probably going to move the shocks over a few holes on the chassis to bring the ride hight down, but it still has a low COG even with the battery on the skid. I dont like the 90 some degrees of flex though. I will get the electronics in it tomorrow and get it tested  |

Welp, first thing was first. Had to drop the ride hight a bit, and limit the suspension. What do you think? Still too much?   Folded the sides of the body level with the skid  Still have to mount the body, and work on my steering a bit more. |
