Nice rugged rig, but the antenna mount bugs me. A tuber like this deserves a proper aluminum antenna mount if it is to e exposed.

man that looks great. i love the idea of the full droop. only seems it wold be worse for torque twist. thats why i do not beleve i will ever go back to a shock link setup. i really like this torsion i have completed, and just needs a litte fine tuning and it will probly be perfect...

thanks! i took it crawling yesterday and i was fearful of that torque twist would show its ugly face but i did not encounter any problems with it. it hade a little chassis twis on xtremly steep stuff. but overall i am extremly happy!

Looks like a great ride.

The only thing I would change is the zip tie color. I would go with black

They'll totally change the way she handles :-)
