nice, i dont know why other people are having a hard time finding shocks to fit, and experimenting with savage shocks when your setup seems to be perfect. anyway, nice build!

Carter, what pinion are you running on the 2500kv?

 

[CarterFab]

Stock. Haven't run it yet but some other guys are doing the same in our group

 

[dextan22]

Alright. My 2500kv arrived today, and i have 11, 14, 15 and stock 16T pinions on the table. I guess i could try stock first too, just afraid that it would be too fast.

Awesome job guys...

Those secondary shocks just stockers without the coils yeah?

Yes

I'm running a 13t and 14t with that setup. Its an awesome setup

I was thinking about dual rear shocks, let us know when you can run it!

I can tell now just cycling it on the table that the shocks won't be working near as hard. Also, the bump stops contact at the same time meaning less abuse per shock and the upper shock mount now has the load spread between the two as well.
I like the fact that I don't lose any down travel from my previous setup also.
Should be cooler running and longer life for sure. Hope to have it back out next week. Waiting on a few more upgrade parts to come in and gonna finally swap out the stock servo.

Very nice "thumbsup"

Well the Yeti is fixing to get legit I hope. This has to be the coolest offering from an oem I've seen to date.

Finally a sound module with the proper tones and from a supplier that you'll know will make it durable for any situation.
So amped!!!!

 

[db450]

So amped!!!!

Pun intended?? LOL
I cant wait though, i just hope it actually sounds halfway decent

From my Traxxas rep,
"Yes, there is a toggle so you can rev the engine, and it is controlled by the TX. The system is OnLy available in the slash. It's so loud is shakes the body... It's BAD TO THE bONE!!! Sooooooo LOUD!!"

Have you had Hinge pins issues

 

[CarterFab]

Mine are a little bent but not too bad that it's hindering suspension cycle. Saw one snap in half on a really bad impact last week racing. It's gonna require buying a new tub but they are cheap also.

 

[CarterFab]

Got the rear shocks turned down to smooth bodies

 

[Ty@Tekin]

I'm very curious about the Traxxas OBA system as well. If the speaker sounds halfway decent it could just put a big old smile on my face!
