Default rebuild

So I have been working on my truck for a month now, and I am to the point where I cant think of what to do. I want more wheel travel, I want to re-do where I have the ESC,and just over all make a better rig. So I am asking every one for ideas. what would you do.

What wheelbase is that? Why dont you take the shocks off the links...lay them down a bit. That should help with articulation.

You should stand the shocks up more. Make them more vertical.

Your shocks really depend on what kinda chassis setup you wanna use. With savage shocks youll need tall shock towers to accomidate the length of them.

How much articulation are you looking for?

Those look like they are Maxx shocks to me...or are those the stock TXT shocks? Never had the stock shocks.

I get pretty good articulation with my Maxx shocks on TXT:


They are laid down and not on the links.

Maybe it is just the difference in chassis.
