That should have more articulation that it shows. Seems like your alittle shaky on the camera so its hard to tell what you did.

Try to get some pictures of the links and where you have the mounted. (be steady with the camera)

so once he takes the one 6" candle thing out, he can get 12" under one tire and you think it should have more more?? :?

There we go! lol. With the 6" candles I thought that was all it has.

Where did you mount the links on the a-arms? and how?

you don't need more flex than that and I would personally not even run that much. The less flex ya have, the more predictable it is.

Good job !

Looks good now the testing begins !
You dont need anyore flex than that
Play around with the shock positions and then test and re-test
Different setups will do better in different terrain

I like the HS 5645 MG. They all need to sut off and cooled down with the big rigs. We have tried using the bif 1/4 scale servos but they burn up too!

you dont have a bathroom scale?? stand on it, see what ya weigh and then hold the truck and subtract it's not exact, but it gets ya close enough..

as for servos, you get what ya pay for.. The maxx setup is kinda odd anyway, so you need more than an average cheap servo. People love the 645's, but i think they are a big POS.. I have 2 of them on my sons stick and stripped both gears in less than 6 hours..

I run airtronics 359's and they are some badass servos, but you said affordable
