Moved to Small Scale.

Nice work on the build. The only thing you may need to change is mounting the lower shock mounts on the axles instead of the links. Most shafties suffer serious torque twist with the shocks mounted to the links.

Thanks guys...

Bender: I was thinkin about that while I was assembling it last night, lol, but I cant mount the shocks to the axle unless I shorten the WB... its 13" right now so If I go to 12 or 12.5 It should work...

Thanks for the heads up!

Jake

Wow! Its so simple and elegant. I love the droop suspension too. Did you cut the springs or use buggy springs? Definately one of the better looking TLT tubers out there.
