[joywrex]

Is this what you meant to ask^^^^^^^^^^fixed yellow text?

Yeah! thats it.

 

[joywrex]

Finally...

So who uses that tube for internal/external limiters?

 

[rmdesignworks]

Not me....that's why I run the limiting strap...limit ride height without losing flex

i bought mine used already biult..... so ovisely i didnt and i would suggest not when using them on the stock chassis. compared to the stock shocks u actually lose a little bit of ground clearce but not enought that u have to worrie about. "thumbsup"

I beefed up the printed parts because one of them cracked and one of the holes was a little off.

I have a led task light which makes crazy shadows:

I'd say Rock Crawler Heaven! You could greatly improve your Creeper with a BTL plate from Thomas. I added one and it makes a huge difference!

True. The turning radius is crap right now. I have to reverse too much.

I ordered the HR rear lockouts from CKRC like 2 weeks ago. They call me at like 6:30 once a week and I always miss their calls. I can't find another place to buy them though. Ugh.

Very first build? Thats awesome!

i would say try to get your servo arm as close to straight as possible i would shorten the tie rod from the servo to the knuckle

 

[rmdesignworks]

Got the order Noah...Ill get it out as soon as I can. Pm sent.

 

[joywrex]

Well I got a grip of traxxas rod ends. I didn't see that they were 'large.' The diameter of the holes in them is 3.5mm.

lame...

In other news, I just ordered the XR chassis and the btl front plate. Designing and fabing one myself would take to much work and it probably would come out worse.
