Very creative my man... how about those four links on the side of it those need to be stronger... also I just ordered my Hub extenders associated so I can run my duratrax.... those 3.8s might be too big and heavy though.. going to be adding some more bolts to those links... they need to hurry up make some reasonably priced alternatives
So I can run that truck harder.. you got to kind of be delicate with it..or it will flip flop flip flop .lov it though..

Ok thanks I did order some.... also if you can sell me some of those brackets you made to beefing up my suspension I would appreciate it or any other thing you can think of I'll buy them from you I need to strengthen the suspension please let me know

I don’t have much time to make anything for people. I struggle just to get some time for myself. Here is another Mad Crusher experiment that is going on now. These are collars made on a 3D printer. As of now....we only had blue material but I need black soon. Sometimes the axle will get a hairline crack. Mine has one now under that blue collar. Sooooo, that collar seems like it did the trick to fix it. It’s a press fit but not super tight. Epoxy under it if needed. Just testing it out. A full set in Black is being made also. To cover as much area as possible. Ignore the blue and picture that in black. The black set of collars will be installed on fresh axles to see if it’s all stronger. They are 1/8 th of an inch thick. I clipped a curb to get the crack in the axle a while ago.

I moved the lower rear shock position up one position I think. Then added 20W Accociateded shock oil. 15-25 seems good. 30-35 is too thick. It rips a little better that way. It pulls wheelies a little less, stays planted more when laying on the power out of a turn. The One front tire lifts a little less under power. Little less body roll with slightly thicker shock oil. Too thick of oil will lead to breaking stuff. Shock caps. I could turn this into a radical machine....it already is cool. HR axles and good shocks. $$$$$
 
Yeah that's true about the shock oil I put 45 in mine and lessened the spring pressure but I think I'm going to try less weight 20 like you said put the spring pressure in the middle.. I hit something with mine also and cracked the differential housing but put new parts on it again just waiting for my Hubs and a couple links that came off that wasn't tightened.. then back to getting busy.... I'm new to you tube.. bad at filming.. but bringing most of my cars back out they've been sitting up for a while... check out kawi man on YouTube... I'm going to get that mad Crusher on tube let it rip some high speed runs ... got my ke25 dialed in ..though still need to break it in some more ...run it hard..... you got some footage on YouTube?
 
I suck at the YouTube. I got 2 vids on there. Nothing good. I’m on the fence now on building a nitro Truggy with monster tires and body. I miss nitro. Been getting tired of electric. Still love it...just miss nitro.

On the KE25, I would pull that engine out, remove the clutch and tighten down the flywheel real good. Be careful of the small shims. There is a super tiny washer in there. Shoot a little bit of oil on the bearings in there also. Also...let the motor cool at bottom dead center. I had issues with my flywheel coming loose during break in and I let the motor cool at top dead center and it locked up. Lol. Luckily all is fine and it rips.
 
Oh yea .. the motor is broke in... all is well I have another ke25 in my Inferno GT Road car... tell me what you think of my vids I have Novarossi and lrp motors in my other cars ...when the ke25 goes bad think I'm going to put a Ofna 28 I have laying around in that Crusher...lol.... what is the name of your videos so I can check them out let me know what you think of mine kind of boring though hahaha...
 
Yeah I never had electric vehicles they seem pretty fun a guy let me drive his armarrma talion weeks ago... it was fast ..quiet.. 6s.... they seem pretty durable the Arma... hey wanted to come and play with a couple of us Nitro guys.. it's all RC it's all fun engine or not

Here is my Kraton Truggy. I want to build a big block nitro using a Losi or a Tekno Truggy. Using this body and tire.

The rear links you asked about on the Mad Crusher. I put RPM long links on it and double nylon nuts. On both sides of the suspension bracket.

Quick question. New to nitro. Just got the mad crusher. Ran a few tanks through it but now my throttle servo "flutters?" back and forth really fast. Bad servo or receiver?

Pull all the plugs out of the receiver and plug them back in a few times. Oxidation on the plugs. Also...pad the receiver box better. I use Velcro to hold stuff in place etc. that’s the simplest thing to do. Swap steering and throttle. See if the trouble follows the servo or the receiver port.
 
NICE LINKS !!!!! ARE U GOING TO PUT ANY VIDEOS OF CRUSHER RUNNIN? I GOT MAYBE 3 SHORT ONES YOUTUBE "KAWI MAN"
 
I GOT LUCKY AND FOUND THE KYOSHO NITRO FO-XX..THAT I PURCHASED.GOT IT FOR $340..I HAD TO JUMP ON IT..NEW IN BOX....LOVE THOSE KYOSHOS...THE FO-XX HAS ONLY 4 LINKS TOTAL ON TRUCK..A LITTLE DIFFERENT SETUP ..IT SITS LOWER...
