| Check for flex in the upper arm where you have mounted the lockout, I did this on mine and found it had to much flex in the arm. If you want to set it up this way you will have to find a way of bracing between the two arms or just link into the shock mounts on the lower arm. Like you had it. Just my 2 cents. |

| Looking good so far. I have been building RC's for racing for sometime now I am in the process of building a Maxx crawler. Still In the design phase right now though Ihave milled a few parts for test purposes. Love these build threads as I gain so much form others. |
