well i got internal springs in it, the same springs we use on the 2.2 blackjacks butfull length instead of being cut down, just running it around on the stairs and couch crawling its a lot better than it has been at all so far! tomorrow morning itll be run through the ringer in our usual stomping grounds, bootleg canyon. ill have action pics and updates tomorrow.

Well the droop setup works really well. Its pretty capable and definetly fun to drive, but theres one problem. Its the only 14er in vegas. Hell its the only thing bigger than a 2.2 in vegas. So i think im gonna tear it apart and build a 2.2 TXT blackjack out of it.

I've been reading all the txt builds I can find and yours looked great with the first chassis.After seeing your second chassis I think I might do a MFM chassis and a pede tranny.I went looking for the 4:1 gears and found them last night,a bunch cheaper than I thought.22 bucks plus shipping is a great price for them.I look forward to your next txt build  |

| http://www1.int.conrad.com/scripts/w...c=X&~cookies=1 The 4:1 gears can be found here,I hadta look for a bit as the site isn't easy enough to navigate quickly.Eggressor gave the part numbers and I wrote them down somewhere but cant find them.If the badlands arent being used I'll take them off your hands |
