Those are Vanquish Revolver beadlock wheels. The rings are the stock one that come with those wheels.

I omitted the sway bar dealy when I built it. I am going to run some thicker oil in the shocks though. I will check it out once it is drivable.

Default Update

After building it without the sway bar dealys and the stock oil it had torque twist and was way to waggly. I decided to install the thicker wire in the rear and swap out the oil for 90wt. Much bigger difference and the handling is way better.

Yeap, pretty sure you gotta run the sway bar dealies.

I put the stiffer springs in back too.

Good paint job FR!

Same problem here, i think it has a lot to do with the weight on the wheels also, i did the same as you initially and even went with the 2 hole piston on the shocks and ended with severe torque twist.

I ran mine like the book states.

I am also running a 3600 lipo in the tray so I think I have less weight up top also.
