lets good only thing i noticed is for you to get the rcguy.com servo mount for your front so you wont need to use a bumper, they will put your servos out of harms way they are great. be able to get much better angles at rocks this way also.

Superman: Already have the items to move the servos.Just need to do it.

Dezfan:Those are narrowed Imex Outlaws wrapped with narrowed Losi Claw
Does this truck look familiar?Same truck,I bought it from JIA.

Run2jeepn:Body was give to me cause the guy lost the paint masks and
stickers to it.Was going to put it on my big block T-Maxx,but liked on this
better.

Thanks guys.
Roy

Yup, that's my old Spider.

Had to let Roy pick up a crawler so I can whoop his *** on the rocks with this:





He's go the stuff to mount the servos on the axle braces, I'm sure he'll do it soon.

You better whip my arse,cause if you don't you want live it down
losing to a "newbie crawler".
When you want to go?Working on getting by batteries cycled and recharged to full capacity.

Notice anything different on the lower links?
I swapped left sides to the right and right sides to the
left.Had to do a little dremel work where the shock mounts to the
link.It layed the shock down a little.Lowered it and softened it up
also.Put on T-Maxx shocks with red springs with 35 weight oil.

After you get off work tonight,why don't you come over and help me
move the steering servos to make sure I do it correctly. Since you didn't get around to doing it.

ROFL!

You know how many times I've owned that rig?

All you other guys had plenty of time to move those servos.

Well I got it from you,not them.
I got the front axle servo moved tonight.
The screws that come out of the housing that bolt to the
axle tubes are really long after removing the bumper braces.
Do I need to replace them with shorter screws or just put the nuts
on them and tighten them down.To replace the screws I will have to disassemble the axle,right?The screws are threaded enough to put nuts
on them and tighten down.Going to do the rear tomorrow night.
