Default New SW2 TLT Comp rig

Nothing fancy, just another SW2 comp crawler with a slightly different link setup. I built this truck in one night (until 4:00 am) before the last comp, only to break 2 axle shafts in less then 3 minutes of running.

Here are the specs:
12.5" WB
10" track width
2.5" center clearance
~8.5" max height of cab

Bender Customs chassis set up 70/30 (almost 75/25)
Custom Carbon Fiber Links
TLT-1 Axles locked diffs
Stampede trany w/Jato shafts, 120T 64P spur
55t Lathe Motor, 16t 64P pinion
Proline Moab tires
Pede rims double narrowed w/rock rings
2 wheel steering
Traxxax big bore shocks
Jeep CJ8 body off my TXT, then Clod (this body is nearly 2 years old with a history of abuse)
4 oz of bb's in each tire
Futaba 3ch 72 Mhz FM receiver
Airtronics 94359 Servo
Spare maxx drive shaft and Tamiya wrench on the body

Working on a few additions before the next comp, the body will also be lowered about 1/4" to 1/2".

Not as good as the rear. I'll take a flex shot of the front tonight.

I am not fond of massive flex on my figs.

I like it. damn you have put that cj through some hell. do you find that it performs better with the 70/30 instead of a 50/50.

Not sure about the 70/30 yet since I have about 2 or 3 minutes of run time on this rig, I do think a 60/40 setup is better then a 50/50. I think the 70/30 should perform great.

That's a nice rig badger, Is this the comp rig you mentioned when I last talked to you?

70/30 setup makes it look very proportional with that hacked up body.
