Not really sure
It isn't the shocks or suspension. I think it is the tube work and chassis flexing together.

great rig and vid, which do you like most the rockracer or this ?
Thanks man, it is a freaking blast to drive!
I wouldn't mind a 1:1 like this either
Well I sold the rock racer, I beat the living crap out of that thing. I probably broke more knuckles and C's on that thing than any Axial I had owned before. I think if I jumped this one I would need a couple new housings (she is pretty piggy). They are very different rigs, but I have to say I think this one is much more fun.

your out of the box rigs>FTW "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"
Wow, a made a lot of progress tonight!
A local crawler friend of mine came over tonight with the intention of working on his scaler......well that didn't happen. I ended up stealing some of the parts he brought over and swapped them onto the RubberBelly Tracker.
First up, some new black anodized RC4WD 90mm dual rate scale shocks. The smaller diameter shock body I believe looks much better than the stock SCX shocks, especially with the size of this body.
Then I began my first attempt at styrene work. I am uploading pics now of my progress.

The bed is out on the balcony drying right now. Shot it with a coat of flat black for now. The top of the fenders is what I need to do next. I am actually enjoying doing the styrene work.
You can see how the shocks are boxed in on the 1:1 in this pic, definitely not to scale on this one but I am not prepared to ditch the coilovers so this will have to do.

Sweet,are you doin more details than this Harley? Interior when Camera is out?
Here are some pics of the painted bed "thumbsup"
Yeah hopefully it is dry after last nights rain though :evil:
For the most part the details will be based around what the camera can see and what is completely obvious from the exterior. The bed was needed for obvious reasons. The camera itself comes out easy but the servo is a huge pain to remove.
