And can you give some specs on those shocks, like how much they are limited and are these the 4" shocks or the 3.5" big bores?

Hmm spreaders! Are you talking about the braces between the chassis?If so they appear to be 38mm and they came with the chassis when I got it.The shocks are the 4" bb with shock cap mod.The front shocks measure 4" ete and have ext and Int limiters.Dont recall how much internal but about 6mm ext. The rear shocks measure 4 1/8 ete and about 8mm external and not sure how much internal.

Haha,I figured you'd get a kick out of that! Yep Ti lowers! Im assuming the flex was comming from the middle bend. It was only doing it when rear digging and when the front was wedged.

The more I look at your pics the more I think youre right. I think if you put a bend at the axle going back to the rod end to straighten it out, I think it would really help.

Eddie makes medium outers now, that will be perfect in those tires.

I was hoping to test it out since putting stiffer springs and some different foam in but I broke the front tierod in the first 3 minutes of running.Didnt have my spares with me and had to call it a day.

???? What broke? What the hell are you Texas guys doing to my drag links?? Lol

Haha! I told him you were going to say that!

He broke the exact same part that I did.......doing the exact same thing that I did.

[TURBOFEST]

Ok...he got spares with his kit. i'm gonna see what i can do to beef that up. Hmmmmm

Man I've been beating the hell out of mine, I did have one come loose but have'nt broke anything on them. Hope they will last through Copperstate because I don't have any spares either.

Thanks man! Im still wet behind the ears on this class. They are fun as hell to drive but are totaly different than any other rigs I own. I know how you feel about wanting to build one. Sometimes you just gotta jump in head first and hope for the best. Come to think of it,that has got me into more binds than anything.
