So after more than a year i finally got my TXT ready to crawl.
Right now it has 14.5WB, just over 5 under tranny, and has humongous (sp) turning radious, even though i have front/rear steering.

hope these work

Take the skids off and put some limiting straps on that thing other than that looks good

the skid works to... skid, but not only, it also holds tranny, and is a tray for batteries, so they can sit lower. ill think about limiting straps, but one hting i have to do is change shock position, it tweaks like hell

I think he meant the steering skid/mount.
That thing has about 40* more articulation than it needs.

coles right that much artic. and a shafty leads to lots of time on the roof. new tires would really help too. even cut stock tires suck

yes get those damn front and rear skids off best thing i ever did. and you really should think about some kind of limiting because my friends gecko clod with about the same artic. just twists it's self in to a ball on the rocks, but other wise good looking truck

Your probably right, it doesnt flip as much, maybe because of low CG, and about skids i dont think i can cause ive mount my servos on them, but ill tinker with it, now when it runs its easier to find what works and what not.
Thanks guys
