I have a couple rigs that just do not seem to have the performance the other similar rig have. It’s frustrating because the poor performance rig has many of the same parts as the rig that just kills it. So I decided to just start over.
So I stripped both the non performers down and ordered a couple parts and now I’m going to see if I can make my best rig a second best.
Starting with a GSpeed carbon V3 frame. I’m going Servo on axle and a four link. This is not a comp truck it’s a run what you brung comp truck.
The silver axles are nice because they don’t show scratches and touch up with a Sharpie. But I painted the brass silver and it does not look like anything special. Like a cheater cheater.
I'm also going for punch. A lot of the climbs at my local crawl spot are little hops and leaps to grab ledges. I plan to keep it light and low and put a Holmes Hobbies 2200kv revolver on 4S. So it can jump and has wheel speed.
Just a couple shot to show the body. First phot is full compression. And the second it just with the Jack stands removed.
Metal rod ends and titanium links.
Going with 90mm shocks.
