I missed my calling as an RC design engineer...

all the years of personal experience with this platform i came to really not like quite a bit of it's design and performance box stock.

(keep in mind there was NO aftermarket hop ups for this, NONE.

I redesigned rear suspension, no more binding parts during what little articulation it had originally, no more stupid front end style knuckle and dumb tierod that's prone to toe in/out during running and a weak point.

more than double the usable travel and without any binding of anything, even axles.

Thought I'd share...Progress updates soon.

alrighty!

I built different shocks, much better suited.

I have 8 hours or so into the servo tray, steering, and roll bar.

Few little odds n ends left to sort out, then onto the engine mounting, clutch and bell setup, and it's close.

I chuckle when i look at the lay down steering servo...in a Quake...harhar
