|  ........Inspired TORSION STICK........... I owe Del Monte for getting the idea in my head after seeing the video of his. I fixed the articulation problem. Had to move a whole bunch of things aroun to get it but it came at very unique. |

| Hell ya bitch. This thing CRAWLS. I'm excited it's debute on real rocks will be this weekend. I'm going to the LHS tomorrow to pick up some small batteries. Then I can put them where I need to. Even with the battery up high it's still a low cg. Here are pics from my yard. |

| I just went and weighed it 4.7# with 3300 and a lathe. Allso water filled tires. I used them to play in the mud earlier. So when the brushless gets back in this truck that's good for about 4.oz. The small battery is good for about 8+oz I should break the 4# mark easy. |

| the torsion stick crawls nice doesn't it?  I'm liking the use of stock mounts too, I might have to try that instead. |

| My shaft rust from lack of use. Quote:
When it's off set like that it has more leverage to twist the c channel.=more articulation | |

| Now I get it. So, if you loosen the bolts up, will it flex more? |

| NO it will axle wrap. That holds it rigid. The channel deflects and twists. |

| First the side plates went away, then the shocks & springs went away, pretty soon we'll be crawling with no axles! All of a sudden the Nanotube is old-school!  I can't keep up with you guys. |

| Thats pretty slick! Does it articulate evenly to both directions and without a C shaped sway? |
