I like it. I'm running tamiya onroad shocks but I have some duel rate dingo shocks I would like to use. They look better. I want a lil more flex cuz it's very shallow at this point Sent from my cellular telebox |

I went the short shock route, then slighty longer shocks and finally settled on the 3.5" shocks. I've been happy with them.

Body came in today. It's a little small. The axles are a hair to wide but I guess that's what I got to work with. Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk |

Nice build so far,Have you give'in any thought to useing the stainless steel clocked axle C's from Jones'in RC,They will take some of the angle out of the front driveline,That's also the weakest part of the tlt axle housing.

I'll look that up when I get home from work. Sitting here with a thumb up the bum in my shop so I put some shock towers on. I'll put a cross member in and cut them down when I know the right length I need for the original tlt shocks. Sent from my HTC HD2 using Tapatalk |
