I love it! Is the tranny flush with the center skid plate? I think you might get alot of tourque twist with the angle of your Shocks. How much articulation are you getting? What motor are you planning to run? 55t? Last edited by lunardaisy; 08-07-2005 at 06:41 PM. |

no the tranny isnt flush with the skid plate, it is spaced up about a quarter inch. as for tourque twist, ill have to test it and if it is an apparent problem i may make some little shock towers. Its getting about 80 degrees of artic right now, i will most likely limit its travel a bit. for now i think ill keep the stock motor because i dont feel like spending any money, I guess Im a cheap bastard |

I highly suggest making a small skid mounted under those screws. I had a similar setup and those things got hung up on everything. rigs looks great by the way, can't wait to see if it performs. Terry Last edited by CrawlnSlow; 08-07-2005 at 08:23 PM. |
