Cool. The only thing I would chance is the high clearance links. They have a tendacy to break during hard crawling. Also, running lipos?:? Sweet!  |

Nice shockless, should serve you well. I would try to go with BTA steering up front to give you much better approach angles. Nice work!

My current rig is a shockless truck alot like yours but I have fine tuned it ALOT to make it way better.I have ran my truck in the current state for almost 2 months and a couple comps and it does VERY well.I can say that weight added to the corners helps alot it makes it more stable and makes it flex more.This is about my 4th or 5th shockless truck and I wont go back to shocks, If you want pm me or hit me on msn and I will show you pics and give you some pointers to make it better.

| Is the standard crawler getting to be 22" long because that is a freak'n limo. Mine is about 16" and I thought that was pretty close to standard. I know that it a personal thing when it comes to what you wan't and don't wan't to crawl with but am I totally wrong here? |

Most of the guys I know running super class crawler are in the range of 16-17" wheelbases give or take. People running shockless may or may not tend to run a little bit longer to get a little extra articulation out of their rigs by increasing leverage against the torsion back bone.
