Default Scale/Unscale maxx tuber

after debating whether or not to build a tuber for a while, i finally decided to do it. Im going to be having it with a full inner cage with a ford f-150 cab. For a bed im going to build a tube bed so i can mount a spare. Later on down the road im going to tuck some TLT axles under it and it will be a scale rig. On with the pics:

Final Mock up before the bed work began. I test drove it and it drove like a Torsion stick with the shocks setup like that.

Im am going to run this monster in the rear as well: ( the s3003 is just there to show how big that servo really is)

it was a problem at first. I took them out and trimmed the yokes a little and it doesnt bind at all.
