It looks really nice. I may just keep mine2.2 clod and work on it a little. I picked up a cheap DX6 on ebay this week. Is there anywhere that somone has done a write-up on installing the spring?

Thanks guys.

yeah these tires are sick, dez you are the man.

I plan to trim the body to maximize clearance.

I hope I get a hold of Jeff to get my castle link so I can get these ESC's programmed.

I really think this could perform well.

Oh yeah, and the spring installation was cake. Just look at the other side and you are good to go.

ALRIGHT FOOLS ITS DONE (minus pinions)

I can't really check the rotation of my motors yet, since I am not 100% which they go. I am not worried about it though, just a matter of switching a couple wires on the motors.

My glue job kind of sucks but sue me. I don't give a rats as* at this point. I will freaking color them with a sharpie

Unhappy

Due to a really shatty start to the day I did not run the truck in the comp today. I did go to the comp though, I picked up the pinions and got hem installed. I ran the truck for a few mins but without having the drag brake setup it wasn't going to run like I wanted. I will get it finsihed tonight and get some video up.

I really like these tires I think they will Do well and should really help give me an edge. And yeah they are HUGE.

thanks to all the KCRCRC guys for lending a hand and trying to get me going. I know you could have had me running in no time.

I'm having to lay my servo down to get better throw on it. Since it's facing down. I can't a good steering angle and it jams up. Try using TCS cheap $12 Servo mount. Mount it on backwards. Keep you bottom BTA link and make a New drag link that goes to the knuckle. Thats the best way I've found. If I don't like that. I'm putting my steering back up front.

Looks good by the way...

Thanks, I will definetly look into that. It just isn't going to cut it as is. A longer arm would help but I don't know if it will gain me enough. Either way I need to cut off the stops still and see what the nets me.

You wouldn't believe how tough it is to drive a twin stick and hold a cell phone to record at the same time
