LMFAO I have seen the washers before at the LHS I forget who makes them but REV they look good.

Yeah I was talking about the blue coni9cal washers. They look like they would make perfect shock/link stand offs for the VMG I am messing with.

That's pretty sweet Revin. Looks like I'm going to have to practice my driving to keep up with you guys and these new chassis.

My chassis came today, and despite all the times I have seen this design, it still looks awesome. I am still a noobtard though and can't post pics yet. GGGRRR.

Revin, did you find the wrapper for those conical washers? My LHS chick looked at me like I had sprouted a second head out the side of my neck and said she needs a part number. Some people are just worthless without a computer and part numbers.

Ah. Ofna. How silly of me, I saw that that was posted up there earlier, I just didn't realise that was the part number. lol J/K. OK, I'll stop being lazy and go look it up on Ofna's site.

I have been using my father's comp, and his dial up connection for over 2 weeks while I waited for my new Hard Drive to come in. I keep forgetting I can look stuff up on my comp again, and with my T-1 line, it's way faster.

LOL I think he connects at like 26.4 - 28.8. I connect at 1500 - 2000. It's a small difference.

I use max big bore.used fuel tubing in the front on the 60/40 setup to bring the front down and unaltered shocks in the rear.

I am using Maxx shocks as well, and with no tires or wheels, resting on the axles, my current set-up has 2 inches of center clearance. I am planning on getting a set of those sick Monster 2.2 Badlands from Dezfan, and they are 5.85 inches tall. My Thunderhorse came with the 60/40 setup, but I moved the rear axle out to the middle set of holes. The Titan I as planning to use may not fit, so I may have to break down and buy a 55t, but I got that SRX set up and the RX, ESC, and servo all installed. Just waiting on the tranny, a set of Ericksons, tires, and I have to pick a body. I may get 2 bodies, one to run and one of these http://adrcracing.com/TrueFire.html for the shelf. I love the paint jobs ADRC does, but would have to get all emmo if I scratched it.

im still a little new to all this so bear with me. when you say you used fuel tubing in the front are you talking about disassembling the shock and putting tubing around the shaft to limit it?

Correct, or use shorter shocks or else the front end will be waaaaaay higher than the rear.
