hey, saw the savage shocks and they look pretty nice on there. ive heard some people say they didnt like the savage shocks for a few different reasons, one being that they leak, do you know why this is? and would you recomend savage shocks on other crawlers?

I'd recommend them if you like to play around with suspension set-ups. It took me a little while to dial this chassis in. The key to running looooong shocks is mount the upper mounts as high as you can on the chassis. IMO. | |

I decided to try setting up my front steer behind the axle. I gave it a test run today, definitely alot better approach angle. I need to tweak the tie rods a little, but all in all I'm happy so far. Some pics.... Last edited by BENDER; 03-27-2005 at 12:14 AM. |

If I had a digital camera I would, and pretty much all the pics I have are posted in that thread. I'll borrow my buddies camera and try to post some up shortly. I'm going to merge this into my thread, since it's a question about my rig. | |

Hey man, back on the first page I see you have Proline Giant Tracs. Are those mounted on RPM StableMaxx wheels, or some Clod variant? It'd be great if they were squeezed on Maxx wheels, it'd keep me from buying more wheels. And what page is the behind the axle steering posted? So many pages... |
