Hello all, my Atlas project is progressing. My links came in today. Got them all mounted up and so far all my angles look really good. Axles have good movement and no binding. Both pinions are pointed slightly up and front steering knuckles are tilted ever so slightly forward.
Super happy with how it's coming together and that it seems my measurements were good. On to the next step.

Looking good Mike.

When you start working on one of your RC's, you should hop over to the Builds and Projects forum and start you a build thread. It's nice because we can see everything you do to your truck in one thread 😉

Like this one...

After you create your build thread, go into your account details by clicking on your avatar up top. Then scroll down to this section and paste the URL to your build thread here, and you will get your build thread contributor badge.

I was thinking about a build thread but wasn't sure adding upgrades to a factory rig counted. The build thread section is very confusing and not very specific as to what is considered a "build". I come from the full size crawler life and the difference between a build and swapping parts is huge.

Yeah. You can lengthen the legs on your workbench and do a build thread on that if you want 😆

It's just a way to keep your RC and all its mods documented in one place 😉

And that badge link can be changed whenever, like if you want to link to whatever you're currently working on for example
