On the second flex pic it looks like you have the brackets on the axle that the links and shock mount to going perpindicular (parodon my spelling) to the axle, as oppsed to on an angle like the stock truck. Mind sharing how you did this? Great looking truck by the way. |

Look at the bottom of your axle, you will see that the holes are inline. I just drilled straight thru these to the top of the axle ( I used a 3/32 drill), be careful not to break in to the existing holes in the top. | |

| Update
The truck has been running since Sunday. I`ve had a blast with it too, I`ve ran at least one pack every day since I got it running. I`m useing a six cell GP1100 pack from my RC18 and getting consistant 1 hour run on a charge ( I still can`t belive that). The spring rates are off a bit , and I would like better battery placement but overall I`m really pleased with the way it works. I went three link front and rear which seems too work well so far. Pics and vid coming soon.

Nice chassis..... Typically people place the motor facing forward to bias the weight forward. Thats what I did. But that places the motor on the left side. opposite of the wheel that lifts during shafty twist. I see your motor is on the right side. Did you do that for any particular reason? Do you think that helps with shafty twist having the weight on that side? |

I think It might help a little, I plan to run smaller batts eventually and see if takeing the battery weight off the other side helps. The truck is currently balanced from side to side realy well though. Preloading the the left rear spring seemed to help counter the twist more than the motor being on the right. My front springs are to stiff and rears are a little too soft so I think a spring change will help alot. Lots of fine tuneing left to do. My LHS just called. My Moabs are here !

Since I moved to the lathe only time I get that lean is in reverse on flat ground. Or at extream articulation, granted Im not running a laydown ( something I should have done) I noticed you went from those Pro-line? wheels to what looks like pede rims. Any reason behind this?? Short of tyre change?? and bugger you all for those bloody mohabs T_T |

The Tamyia wheels were barrowed, and the pede wheels were all the LHS had when I needed wheels. I countersunk the area for the wheel nut in the rear and used HPI Nitro MT stubs in the front. I hate the color of the wheels, but oh well.
