WICKED's Creeper

It's been raining here for a few days now so I made a new rear plate/mount for the Rear 4-link. I've made the arm's too wide and while testing it out i noticed it climbed better untile I corkscrewed the rear tail shaft. Will post pics tonight
The top arm's are too straight now and without the triangleation it just goes side too side and does what it want's.
It was running for awhile with no issues but when I started useing rear steer it failed. I did test flex and things but obviously it moves more under drive than in my hands. My Bad

Yep, if you were to leave them that parallel, you would have to add a panhard bar.The top arm's are too straight now and without the triangleation it just goes side too side and does what it want's.

one thing that i see is that your rear shocks are pointing into the axel try to get them pointing outward and into the chassis that will stableize the rearend.__/__\__ like that, not like this__\__/__.... bring your lower links as far outward as you can that will aslo stableize it,I straighten the lower link on the high end to make high clearence links, and take the spacers off the upper links on the chassis and directly mount them to the chassis this will help reduce torque twist and stableize it.

I broke a rear driveshaft the other week and want too upgrade too full steel shaft's. I'm at work and was about too order these - http://www.junfac.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=27&zenid=0a3279f46c441af8d12559c4415dcf21
Has any one had issue's with the above?
What lenght to I need for my Creeper? (I know I'll have too cut the rear for the dig unit)
Does any one have another suggestion?
Cheers Benny

traxxas steel yokes and traxxas shafts work great on mine never had a problem"thumbsup"
I had them mate and the rear one looks like a Swizel Stick!
I want an Alloy or steel shaft.
How do you think I can fix this JoJo?
If I take out the Spacers between the shocks and the Chassis the Collar on the shock hits the chassis on flex.
I don't want too take out the U beam from the chassis and it stiffens it and stops it twisting.

are you running the 20* rod ends if you are put them so their flat on the chassis and pointing toward the center of the axel trust me it works fine i have them set up like that. put a spacer between the lower shock and the link tabs on the out side,so that you wont need to take the spacers out between the chassis and the shocks ill post some pix here to show you cool.

Derrek,,the only issue is Ben is running the Stage 2 style steering set up,,the shocks wont clear the drag link all the way out on the ends like ours do.

I see your point now I did not take that steering into consideration "thumbsup"

ok this is what I did when i had my original set up with the battery tray and dig. I cut the aft mounts that stick out of the battery tray flush with the battery tray. put the shocks next to the battery tray and put a spacer between the chassis and the shock this should bring the upper part of the shocks in. I see what you mean about the u beam maybe try to make a u beam as a spacer between the shocks and the chassis. I used the u beam that came with the ckrc stage 2 kit that will still stiffin the chassis and work as a spacer.
