Gotta poser pic, showing max articulation?

I'm building mine right now and am not satisfied with the amount I'm getting, just curious how much you have.

I'll try to get one later tonight. When I got my Hustler Super I was worried about that too but it has changed my opinion on how much articulation is best. Just build it up and try in and I bet you will be very surprised. I would guess mine is 35 degrees right now.

I'd love some good ideas too. Right now I have it mounted under the hood. It works all right but there has to be a better way. I was thinking today about mounting it under the rear upper links, but then I would have to compensate with more weight up front.

I am running a lipo pack with about the same size. Little thicker. I was thinking about using some NIMH 1500 cells and rapping them around the front shock bodies. Not sure if this would help or not! It just seems that the size of the lipo pack is impossible to find a good location after everything else is mounted.

I need to measure it out but I was thinking about running 1500 sub a cells, two humps of 3 or 4 on the front axle, to the side of the servo, not sure if it will fit but I'm going to measure and see

So I measured up my 2/3 Sub a 1500 Elite battery packs today and there is no reason why I couldn't fit two 3 cell packs on each side. So I ordered some from cheapbatterypacks.com. They should be here in a few days. I'm pretty stoked though, it should be the solution.

I'm going to order some too. Report back and let me know.

Hustlers don't articulated they droop, or sag into situations, whatever it is, I dont think it should be called articulation.

Nice build!

Just a quick note. I have my shocks mounted upside down. I noticed yours are right side up. You may have to change this to keep the batteries down low.

I don't think I will have to switch them, I'm pretty sure it will fit. I started trying to mount the shocks upside down but they were binding during articulation so I turned them the other way.

Now with Rock Claws I got these on last night and tried some lines this morning. These things really are awesome! There are a couple of lines that I would struggle on that I pretty much walked now. I was even looking for new lines that I hadn't been able to do before. I can't say they are night and day better than a well set up Moab or Masher but they are an advantage.


Battery packs came in today. I haven't had a chance to mount them up but they look like they'll work well.
