looks sweet so far, I like how you mounted the upper links in the rear like a 1:1 would have

Default finished her up

Back from Alaska and finished up the black widow 2. tested her out and did some comparision between the light weight comp rig and the tuber . But thats for a later post . It has the usual pede tranny 55 turn lathe stampeed shocks 3/16 steel rod about 6 ft. lrp speed control cheap radio . this is my 3 year olds bashing rig so didnt want to put to much into it .. he can drive very well for his age just training him up right.

Default front

Its a little experiment I have the front end held down with a strap (fuel line ) so it still has some flex but wont droop and run a little stiffer in the rear so no tourque twist so far its working great .
