Looks like the ones Harley posted up. When are we going to see some aftermarket support for the Rock Force?

 I have seen 3D scanners work and just don't trust them.Quote:
 TCS is doing the research now, we have our trucks and will get some time on them. I am sure you will see some cool stuff for the rig | ||

I think a metal dig fork and heavy duty linkage is necessary in order for the axle mounted dig to work well. I am defenetly in the market for those.

I would prefer some new chassis plates and a thicker motor-mount. I´ve been playing a bit with this beast and lately found a motor/gear combo that works. But the chassis is way to big and "oldskooled" in my opinion. I want to get rid of the panhard, the batterie location and want to use a droop setup. Also, the motormount flexxes to much. Maybe you can come out with something competive for the Kyosho ? Thnaks, Peter |

We should have these skids for the Rock Force up for sale soon. It's a new concept with the "points". But overall, the delrin material should make them slide over the rocks much easier. And there are no flat cuts perpendicular to forward motion.
