The knuckles will definatly help the turning radius as will getting fat-rock C's. For the rear you should get the strait axle adapters and the SS axles to go with them. Other than that the rig looks to be set up to kill the competition.

How much weight are you running in the front wheels? Set-up looks good, electronics are nice and low. Going to 2/3A cells on the front axle will lower your CG even more, Holmes Hobbies is making packs like mine now. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=88778 CVD's will help your rig become more comp worthy for sure, especially if you don't run dig. Switching to Rock Claws will make a huge difference too. |
