Cool Another Torsion

Im finally working on my maxx again, I got the trans and axles all mounted up all i have to do is make my steering linkage and ill be good to go, im debating between brake line or just using aluminum rod with threaded rod pressed in. I was going to upload my pics but i cant see them on anything but the camera so ill have to figure that out tonight.

ok i finally got it done but it needs a gd600 so i have the motor out right now
im really impressed with the movement of it and all i need to add is a control arms and skids on the axles and i should be set.

sure I already had the axles laying around all locked out and with the plates on them and was going to make a 4-link then i saw the torsion and was like all i got to do is put angle on the top and mount a tranny and im done. I have a wheel base of 17 1/2 right now and im ordering moabs tomorrow.

Wit my design, you can even curve the stick whatever you want to get more ground and belly clearance. or just leave it straight.

Your crawler has clod axles and im using maxx axles and with my design you can even throw it and watch it fly.
