Modifications/Tweaks etc.
Weighted wheels - 6oz. each front, 2 1/2oz. each rear.
Shocks limited 3/8" w/40wt oil.
Body posts mounted vertically
Rubber o-rings on lower link ballends
Traxxas 21t motor w/12t pinion
Hitec HS-225BB Servo for Dig

Some pictures from the latest comp at our local/only club in the UK this weekend. I took 5th overall, and placed first in the non-dig class.

Can someone explain the o-rings on the lower links and how they keep the links on?

Thanks

Not that I'm aware of, but I really have no idea. The O ring trick is pretty much all I've ever seen here.
