Not bad.....that's a bit lighter than my truck, but I think my extra weight is in knuckle weight.

You would need new rears and probably have to link mnt shocks.

Lookin real good! If you move you lower links to the inside of the mount at the axles, you will gain some extra wheelbase. I have mine that way.

i'm looking at that casey but i think it would give me some clearance issues with my servo. For some reason i have had problems getting these 7980's to fit like everyone else's do. It's like they have a slightly larger case as i mentioned earlier in this thread.

Awww...yes. You are using the Sven servo style mount. The other option is to get a slightly longer set screw for the Revo ends, and use a small spacer. That wont weaken the Revo end. I did that on my XR10.

Good luck.

WELL, SOME GOOD AND BAD NEWS .
TOOK HER OUT SUNDAY WITH ME TO OUR COMP AND SHE RAN REALLY GOOD ON SOME LARGE ROCKS, LET A FEW OF THE OTHER GUYS DRIVE HER TOO AND THEY SEEMED TO LIKE HER TOO , GET BUILDING GUYS
ANYHOW, HAD TO PUT HER UP AND GET COMPING.
AFTER THE COMP I WAS GOING TO DRIVE HER A LITTLE MORE AND ,,,,,,,,,,NO FRONT POWER, LOOKED HER OVER AND CHECKED THE RADIO AND THE RADIO SHOWED NO POWER TO THE FRONT AXLE EITHER SO I JUST PUT HER IN THE TRUCK AND WENT HOME.
IT RAN SOOOOOOO GOOD I WAS BESIDE MYSELF AS TO WHAT HAD HAPPENED, SO I GOT TO CHECKING OVER EVERYTHING AND FOUND THAT THE HOT BATTERY LEAD TO THE FRONT FX-R HAD BROKEN AT THE SOLDER JOINT, YEA EASY FIX . GOT HER RESOLDERED AND ON THE ROCKS AGAIN. I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY SOLDERING STATION WHEN I WIRED IT UP SO I BOUGHT A NEW SOLDERING IRON AND THOUGHT I REDID ALL JOINTS BUT GUESS I MISSED THAT ONE.
ANYHOW, ITS GOING NOW, MAN I LOVE THIS THING, IT IS QUITE A DIFFERANT ANIMAL THAN A 2.2 .
