How about some more pics?

Have you crawled any BIG rocks with it yet? I crawled some small rocks when I had the duallies, but then I realized they sucked when I crawled on some larger rocks.

And from the pictures it appears you need to lower the ride height/COG and flatten out the links.

no major crawling except in the back yard on a bunch of rocks I have back there, maybe just maybe ill hit the beach this thursday morning coming for a couple of hours

and yea I also have the regular non spiked dualies and they do suck but the spiked dualies have more grip and are better on the sharp rocks..
I have 1500 bb's in the front and that cushin crap in the rear tires

ill definately lower the COG when I get the 55t lathe motors in there cuz ill have a lil more room to work with then I do right now with the big multiplex cans I have..

another reason to watch out how many BB's you shove in your wheels

I baught a big plastic canister of 6000 bb's and i used 3/4 of them in my wheels and dnt get me wrong it worked great when it climbed 2 masonery blocks standing right side up w/ no problem but I broke the damn arm again after hitting the throttle a little to hard on som e smaller rocks

and like any real rc crawler driver I have planty of spares ive learned my lesson.. im also going to cut down my bb's by half...

heres some pics

I think along with the weight of the BB's and the width of your axles might play hand and hand in breaking your axles. That wheel base is REALLY Wide.

Default HiTec HS-5955TG

Well here goes another upgrade......

$114.00 <----Ouch
HiTec HS-5955TG
Speed 0.15sec / 60 degrees
333Oz of torque at 6.0V

there is no programing needed just plug-N-play and it has a very long cord so you dont have to buy extensions for it like I did my futaba.

major improvement over my lil Futaba S3305 servo

Im a very happy camper w/ the over all performance of the servo this thing actually moves the rock sout of the way

Oh and if your a scrounger like I am you can use the plastic blue hitec box to house your electronics, that will be the next project
