I'm diggin it Brando!!! the new shoes look good too.
 
Looking good man, do those shocks have internal springs?

Yes It came with a soft and firm set. New they are like 60 bucks but I got them lightly used for 25. I like them so far.



Who knows if its better to move the links in on the shock mounts or out? I know the stage 2 mod says move them in. Any input?

nice man its just a waiting game for me till i get alot of parts for mine
 
Well I switched back to stock shocks i don't like the internal spring ones at all. took down articulation by at least half.
 
Good job, I wasn't going to hurt your feelings after just spending that money, but I'm glad to see you getting rid of anything integy. When you really want to get some nice shocks, pick up some Losi shocks. The only shocks I'll run on my crawlers unless something revolutionary comes along and changes my mind.

I REALLY like my setup with the EEM dual triangulation skid plate and the links in their stock location, along with the shocks. Once I got my rig dialed in properly I had no need to move them around on the axle. Have you moved the upper links to the center most whole on the chassis yet?

Oh yea, one more thing. Droop isn't for everyone, but more articulation isn't always better. Those 180 degrees poser shots are fun, but most of the veterans have discovered that insane articulation isn't the key to a good setup. Personally, I like the axial configuration limited slightly, but everyones different so you'll just have to find what works best for you.

Well AFTER I took points for having a driveshaft pop out I come home to my new ones.... Bastards. I payed for them on the 18th and he didn't ship till the 24th. It was atomic hobbies on ebay I never had a problem before but this time sucked and no communication at all, even after 2 messages. Anyway here they are. They seem pretty solid!

Well I havent ran them yet but they are heavy duty thats for sure. They were about 30 bucks.
 
They look pretty now but wait till you get them on the rocks for the first time, I don't think they will be so pretty any more, but as long as they don't cost you any points that's all that matters....
 
just keep it on the tires and you wont have to see the scars lol.
