I decided I'm gonna leave like it is and run it tomorrow, like you see in the last couple of pics.. I wanna see if it really effects my hard bashing and heavy crawling..lol.. I also wanna see if it binds under pressure..
As always pics to follow..

Here's a shot from the edge of my backyard track..
well the steering worked just great today on it first run.. No binding, it's smooth and it turns just fine in both directions..crawled my rock hill just fine too, it did all the lines it had in the past, except the steering worked better..

Well, I'm starting to go back through my hammerz this week, pulled the motor out and all the shocks off, gonna change it up yet again.. I had the tekin 8.5 in there gonna go to a 10.5 and gear the heck outta it.. I want more speed, the 8.5 was good just didn't have it geared high enough..plus I needed the 8.5 for my 4wd buggy.. And I have this 10.5 sitting around so..
Shocks I'm gonna rebuild em, in the rear, and thinking about those g made piggy backs for the front..

I've got a set of the gmade 75mm on mine now but think I'm going to go with the kings instead. I'd sell them to you if you're interested.

75 mm is a little to low for me, I like the 90 mm limited down to about 84mm, but I'm thinking of using some associated big bore shocks up front..

I really recommend giving the G-made XD piggyback a shot. Good price for what you get and super tunable. I have been running them for awhile and really like them.

Hey Rastaman, can you take some pics of how your steering works? I have the BMR upright plate and am looking to upgrade the steering. I really like what you did with the steering servo on the plate but it seems like it would just bind, like the bell crank isnt made to move in that plane. I know I am missing something here but if you could clear it up for me I would really appreciate. TH is looking good though!

Edit: Nevermind. After looking at how the bell crank pivots its makes sense.

In the time I have to wait for the yeti to be released I'm building a really nice U4rc track in my backyard, pics will soon come, and for anybody living in the northern sacramento valley area wants a private spot to have fun on and is 420 friendly.. P.m. Me for details..
