That thing looks great. Nicely done.

It looks like you have room to mount the steering link on top of the knuckles for more clearance. Have you tried it that way?

Thanks Brad, not yet I need to drill it for my Axial/VF dig tranny combo and move my lower links inside the chassis frame. Recognize the link mounts? I'm pretty honored to have your old mounts on my truck.

I did spot my old link mounts, good to see they are still being used.

We all have Brad to thank. I should update my build thread one of these days, it's pretty out dated.

No question wrecker Brad has been so helpful to so many people with his open no secrets informational style. He has taken a lot of us along with him on his exceptional crawling career he has no equal in that catagory.
In fact all of you guys that make up that Crawlerado gang are generous with your knowledge, humor and friendship, you have a great group I'd love to make a comp sometime.

Stormin.....Nice to meet you and Greg today. Your rig definately looks very good and well thought out. I hope mine can look as "complete" and as clean as yours and perfom as well or better at the same time.

Happy trails and hopefully I will make a comp sometime.

Casey, it was a delight to crawl with you yesterday both Greg and I enjoyed you and were impressed with you and your rig. You were really working all the angles getting your Poulson Blacjack dialed in. I was impressed by your build it was the most interesting truck at Taylor's yesterday and there where some nice rigs there. It was making some difficult lines look easy that's going to be a tough truck to beat.

Hey Tom thank you I'm really excited the MNRCRC has it's biggest and best line up ever this year IMO. We have a large batch of new people with lots of RC experience coming into crawling mostly from Nitro trucks and buggies. Talented drivers and flawless trucks things just got harder and it should be very interesting. I hope everything is good with you and family.....Norm
