Honestly I think most people here use a four link, cause the Articulation is better. A e-maxx could be used to crawl with, but it would not keep up with most the crawlers here because they are short. The 12.5 width is fine just not lengh. Hope this helps but if there are anyone of yall that do have pics please post I am intrested in this to.

The one in the middle is the 3 time champion of RC Avenue's Extreme Trials class and the Bronco is usually always second behind it. The H2 is just freshly built, but already looks to be quite a soild competitor...

Actually it wreaks havok on drivelines that are locked with sticky, soft-compound tires...

Realize that these were taken at the WINTER event. None of the participants wanted to stand outside in the snow, so the event was held indoors...

I'd love to come up there and run.

David Baker covered the last trials event for RC Driver, right?

I might have to send him one of my trucks.

I would say undo one end of each shock to let the suspension droop all the way and take a close look at what hits. Do some light dremeling where ever it hits and you can increase the amount of wheel travel. Also make sure that the shocks don't have any limiting spacers inside them, some maxx shocks came from the factory with 1/8" spacers under the pistons...Mounting the lower ends of the shocks as far inboard as you can will also increase the overall wheel travel...

Tell you what... You bring your truck and come out to play on my course. I'll set it up outside in the snow just for you to show how much of a man you are...

Put batteries in it, wheel it, and have fun.

we had our last comp on the rocks. 20mph wind, snow, and ice under the rocks. It was fun, but I am surpised we didnt get any broken elbows or worse. Fun is fun, no matter where it happens.

Take diggers advice on the mods. If you are wanting to stay ISusp make sure you got spools, low gearing, and plenty of wheel travel.
