I finished fabbing up my shock mounts and think that everything turned out pretty good. I still have to trim the lower shock mounts and make a hole for a zip tie though.. It only seems to get about 45 degrees of artic, it's limited by the shocks, but I guess that's fine for a stick, since it only has 2 shocks. Without the shocks on I could litterally get 180 degrees, but thats just pointless. Its my first stick, I like it so far.. I'm hoping it'll be able to climb up stairs, but I think the nylint tires may limit it (though they look awesome IMO). I'm gonna get some tiny pinions and some lathe motors and add bb's to the tires.. I also have to figure out where I'm gonna mount the batteries and electrics... Mounting them in the middle would be easy, but if theres a significant advantage with the lower CG, I may make a custom pack to put on the axles.. LMK what you guys think and if you have any suggestions... BTW thanks to moondust for shock mount advice, and PPE (headshok88 ) for selling me chassis/axles in the first place ;)...

Just get moab xls, thorns, and under knuckle batteries and your good to go.

Looks great man! I like the Hex Tube... I dont think the TCS Stick gets much more. Are those shocks front or rear evader shocks? maybe switch to the rears if there fronts.

Later.

Keep us updated when you get new tires and wheels. A tmaxx shock, or the likes, would probably be longer. (more artic)
