The axles have front and rear RCP CVD's, Fat Rock C's, and I got my aluminum knuckles coming from run2jeepn I got a JR 9000 for my steering servo I got a Mamba 25, I'm ordering the Castle Link and HH Crawler motor later on today.

OK here where I am at now, I got my T&E Maxx shocks, TLT axles, Mamba 25, Pede tranny, and my bad a$$ Cobra. Now when I got my other truck that these TLT axles came off, it was set-up for 4 wheel steering and the axles still are. Do you guys think I should keep the 4WS or just run front steering? I really don't plan on entering any comps so far, but that my change once I learn a bit more stuff. Also the are 3 GP3300's on each axle, do you guys think I should keep it like this or use some other method? Also I have a set of Ericksons beadlocks with Mashers, but still have to cut the foams for them. So far that's all I got now, but I will be getting, aluminum knuckles, HH Crawlmaster, and the Castle link kit, this week |

Get used to driving it with 2WS only. 4WS is a crutch. I practice driving my super with 2WS only. ;) As for batteries, go to cheapbatterypacks.com. Click on "custom packs" (Cell) Elite 1500 2/3A (Configuration) Rock Crawler (Plug) Female Deans (Wire) 12AWG Wire Mount'm on the front axle opposite the servo. Um...Cobra.

I run the 8 cell 1500 packs on my King Bling tuber with mamba 25, OG Revolver and like it. Pretty easy to make a mounting plate for them too. My chassis will be black. |

I have seen a lot of people using the short links from the steering arm to the post at the pumpkins of the axle. This method works really well for most and is easily made. All-thread and ball ends.
