That was supposed to be a video. Not sure how to post it.

Figured it out. Sorry for the steering wheel noise. Haven't filmed and drove for awhile.

Nice Vid' ! Yeah, I'm either a decent driver or a decent cameraman .... but I have a hard time doin' both.
That Bronco does look good on the move too.

Thanks man. It sure is a fun truck. I can't believe how slow I can go with it now with the 1080.

Did you just slap longer shocks on the stock shock towers? You might look at my long travel thread. You gotta run taller shock towers so you can keep the ride height lower but still make use of the extra articulation. 110mm shocks seem like they could be the best bet. They make full use of the front suspensions natural travel, and give you a little more upstroke than stock(IE the tire can come up higher.

Yes I just put on longer shocks. I was going for extra height. I wanted to try out my 2.2 mudslingers. I was never going to leave it bigger, just wanted to try it out. I like it WAY more stock height with 1.9s.

I like the long-travel idea, and I like the stock ride-height too. The price of the long lift kit shocks says I gotta wait. And I just broke a steering servo and ordered a new one. (hopefully a better one )
I think it looks better with the 1.9s too.

Yes 1.9s are way better. I haven't been in a situation where long travel would have benefited me yet.

Decided to change things up a bit. No more decals. I kinda like it. Just have to make all the scratches match up now.
BTW, tailgate decal is also removed. I missed it until I looked at the pics I posted.

Really liking those wheels!

[Tmaxxed]

Anyone know what this could be. It happens every time I turn it on. But its 100% fine while I'm driving. It did it with the stock esc and the hw1080. It's a hitec 7955tg and I have a castle bec. https://youtu.be/NMZG2KLOofE

Hmm. Are you using the stock radio? Maybe check if the tsm is all the way off.

[Tmaxxed]

No I'm using a futaba radio

I'm likin' the all black look! Strange little glitch, almost like it has to "find" it's center when you wake it up. Nice woods vid'. You have an almost scale creek to cross.

It's a fun area to crawl, I like it all black to. Its weird because it drives totally fine but every time I turn it on it does this. Strange.

Finally got around to putting in the savox servo and samix steering arm I've had for this thing for like 3 months. The hitec 7955tg was perfectly fine but 111 more oz-in never hurts anything. And now the hitec can go back in the Summit. The tie rod hits the steering arm a little at full compression but I dont think it should be a problem. I hope.

You'll need a three position switch on the transmitter to do this, but dunno if the 4pls has this.

Use some flat washers or thin piece of aluminum to shim the servo up a little until it all clears. I use these for years works great to clamp the servo nicely without washers bending or servo ears slipping out. THey also make good servo raise/lower shims but maybe too thick for what you need. Price and quality is good.

It does have a 3 position switch. I'll have to mess around with it and see if I can get it to work.
