will the links that come with this kit clock the rear axle like i see in your pics

Also any other suggestions you might have on shocks? The .6 shocks are the ones that arent sold anymore correct?

(this is going to be my first berg I cant wait lol)

yes the supplied links will clock your rear axle as it's shown in the pics.


as far as shocks you could also run 4" losi crawlers. i used the .6 shocks because that's what i had on hand at the time of the build.

you can see here where i used 1/2 fuel tubing to "lift" up the front. with a 4" shock i wouldn't have to use the tubing at all.

 

[swisherteets]

yea i saw that tubing I wasnt sure the size of the .6 shocks as I am not familiar with them.
thanks so much for the help
(that first pic there is now the desktop on my computer your famous )
