Oh, as You can tell, I'm not a big fan of the body. I have the hummer body that's in the one pic, on the wraith, that looks good on the creeper.. once the xr gets here I wouldn't want to cover it up! So I'm just sticking to no clothes on her for now...

I agree, that an you can't watch the rig do as much. I like seeing the flex an articulation thru all the motions as I crawl..

the XVD;s is the best upgrade for axles but if you are just looking to upgrade the pins then from gunner its like $5-10. i know i got 6 cvd pins and 4 hex pins for just about $15 shipped to my door. so its really not very expensive

So has anyone seen this? I haven read anything bout it anywhere.. The axial metal yokes an truck shafts are just bout interchangeable.. tho the male axial is just a tad beefier... Bout half inch longer as well! Think I may use one for my front shaft an the traxxas shaft for my rear. Now for some updates.. Last nights mach up... This morning Some binding, will be changing after work today |

With the steering, what i found is... Take out the red link and only use the 2 spacers between the ends. Tighten the ends together. Then i used a 45* bend end near the servo to get it a bit lower. Im going to mess with it some more but i had binding before too and now it works great. On rmdw website i looked at the pic of the btl kit and copied that. Aalso, i thalked to rmdesignworks yesterday and you need to ziptie the tie rod and link, i really dont even know the names, together but not too tight, just to keep them from flopping around. This prevents from steering sharper one way which i have found. I can hold mine in the air and steer lock to lock, put on the ground or under a load and the link pushed up under a load and then i go lock to half way lock.
