I don't run any foams at all, if you run where not a lot of clearance is needed, then these will work for you. I have heard great things about step pins too.

The Geckzilla is coming along nicely and looking like a real playa' 'Zilla. Great job on it. Bring on some detail pics when you can.

I get some detail pics once I get my servo mount. 7 days since they shipped it not counting sunday. something had to die, so I went out and played in the mud with the quad. thanks for the complement, I was just about to kick it (frustration from steering) Anyone know how to mount a battery on a maxx axle? I have figured I'll have to use zip ties.

Yeah, I have been giving it some love, except for the steering. all I can do is wait. I had to put limiting straps on it and some extra clips (the motor on the left side weighed too much) other than that the suspension seems, flawless.

Here are the close up pics. I'ms till waiting for the steering parts, so until them I can't do much more than look at it. This is with my limiting straps and marbles added.

Could you get a few close up pics of how the IS was made into a solid axle unit? I've got an idea how to do it,just looking for more options.

Thanks
