Default comp ready rig









this was my attempt at making this thing as good as it could be. Obviously it still has some flaws but it seems to work very well. so the list of parts and mods as follows.

-strc rear lock outs
-strc knuckles and carriers
-hardened steel out puts with stampede shafts.
-wheel base lengthened by using various traxxas parts.
- no sway bar in the front
-soft bar in the rear
-jb weld to eliminate play in the cantilevers
-mugen buggy shocks to accommodate length and the others leaked
-rooster crawler kit and novak receiver
-and some others i may have forgotten.
-wheel weights
-losi tires



i am looking for any further suggestions.

i cannot vouch for your beverage choice, however i can attest to the capability of this truck. stretchin it out makes a big difference. lookin good fellow cracker.

Looks good I need to strech mine to. At 11.5" it can't tackle what the Axial's can. Here is another quick and relatively cheap mod. Buy a set of Axial Aluminum hex's. They slide right on tighten the set screw and bam there ya go.
