Default Re: Class 2 Ascender - What's your setup?

1.9 Hyrax on ebay beadlocks (will never go with a cheap set again)
6oz of weight front, 4oz rear
Circle City High Clearance Skid with link risers. Its actually a bit too high as it gets hung up on the frame separation sometimes. Do not like the front upper link riser; need to have another made without it.
Hardcore RC Titanium high clearance lower links. Only needed/wanted a strong lower high-clearance set as the stock uppers are fine.
Stock drivetrain with the exception of a lengthened stock front shaft. (Used a front/rear paring)
Hot Racing internal spring shocks. Soft in the front, stiff in the rear with about 1/4" cut off each spring. Nice shocks, but a PITA to get on the axles.
Homemade front square tube bumper & mounts.
No sliders
Homemade battery/electronics tray. All electronics have been moved up front; except RX.
Savox 1230SG servo on a Castle BEC.

Future Mods:
Beeftubes front & rear
Beefpatties front & rear
SSD Knuckles and CHubs
SSD Diff covers

I'll post pics in a few days
