Man, post it on this forum. Why should we have to go somewhere else to look at your buildup. That said, it doesn't look half bad for depot stuff.

 

[swak6287]

Why do folks post artic shots when the shocks aren't on yet?

Of course it'll flex well with nothing but links installed. :lol:

 

[swak6287]

A couple of 4" shocks is all you need.

 

[swak6287]

How about some part numbers and what isle that you got all those goodies from at the Depot. Where did you get the joints at each end? The look like a heim joint, maybe made of some kind of plastic? Looks sweet!

 

[ILoveRCRockCrawlin]

Are you aloud to run with out shocks? Cause I don't have shocks on my stick Pede and it only goes about 90*. Sweet looking rig. I got all my supplies from HD as well.

don't count on a lot of flex when you put the shocks in;-) I did and after installing them I thought I messed something up:roll: :lol:

Well, my tekin rebel 2 came in today. will put it all together tonite, i hope. u know how that goes. shocks too.... should i keep the shocks as straight up as possible or closer to 45 degree?

Sounds like kevins got some competition for his stick! Of course, nothing is better than the original! (unless its better)

SparkyJ won MOAB '05 with 6 inch shocks on a stick style chassis!

Yeah I know he also has a few other personal touchs, and you have to look hard to see a "Stick".

It crawled awesome..........so it can be done!

the higher and steeper you can mount the shocks the more flex you'll have;-)

i dont like the way your tie rod is connected to the knuckles. that screw in the knuckle is not seeing the type of force it was designed for.

edit: neither is the knuckle or the tie rod. at least tighten the nut between the knuckle and tie rod, and use a lock nut on the end of the screw.

oh yea, and im glad you spent the extra money for the grade 8 hardware on the stick ends. i could see how grade 5 or grade 2 bolts might not be strong enough.
