Most of it looks pretty good!!


But, it is WAY too tall, and has way too much articulation. Other than that, it looks capable.

I agree, change to a set of shorter shocks, that will lower you ride height and limit the articulation. Looks top notch! Can't wait to see it finished!

i had the shorter t-maxx shocks on it and wasnt satisfied with the articulation. went with the longer shocks to achieve 90%. i agree with the ride heighth tho. as for the chassis im satisfied with it atm. im not into hard rock crawling (competition) yet. im sure the NN is an awesome chassis but im also going for a "cool" look.
