4 link is where its at. Much better crawl. I was going to move my uppers back down to @Juanmarteen setup, but this seems to work pretty good and it grew on me. Looks pretty cool with this Chevy body.

Have at it! that's what were here for. Glad you like it. I've since had to rework it a little since I popped a ball out. Drop of threadlock and a punch to flare the thread after flushing with a dremmel. Locked in nicely now.

I gotta do some extenders too but I can't just yet. I have a damaged c-hub from my son using the truck to stand himself up and it ripped a pivot screw out damaging a hole on the hub. To repair i got some realy small aluminum tube to use like a heli-coil so I could thread into it again. Holding...

Which pinion set did you order. I need to follow suit with all the added weight and substantially taller tires on mine. These Proline denali wheels are pretty heavy considering there's 32 screws and what feel like steel lock rings. Plus I keep two batteries on board all up front plus the body...

You got a Bomber? Sweet! How do you like it? Considering getting it but its hard not to drool over that Yeti XL...

Have you checked for binding in the gearbox? My Temper is substantially heavier than stock and I am still on my first motor. I have since taken 4 wheel steering off since going to the C10 body only because I didn't like how it looked while turning. Little more realism and that's what I was going...

Yeah, I wanna see that too. I was thinking about an ice cream truck for ours a few weeks ago. Not sure where I can find one tho.

Total cost $1.99? Howd you do taht? Wait, did you upgrade electronics?

New vid! Even my son was getting bored with how easy it can crawl in it's natural setup. This setup is much more difficult and we have way more fun driving it now. You'll see how easy it tips in the end. Oddly, we love it.

I know what you mean. Mods have taken a back seat to a new lady friend, but the Temper Tantrum is still driven at least biweekly. My son is #1 so it will continue to roll as long as he wants it too. I think I've done enough to it for a little while anyway. I need to post these videos though with...

Exactly. You want to try and keep all of your wheels on something, and the stocks wheels on these things are so light, its easy to loose a foot from torque twist or because you had to tighten some springs up to rid some chassis/body slop. Keeping your fronts on the rock gives you your pulling...

Pretty sure they are just some socket head screws.

So I was pretty weary of going big like this. Mostly for loss of torque, and next the steering. Even with all of the weight I have added (I should weigh it) it still pulls okay. If i did not do this body mod, I'd be okay with leaving the gearing alone but I need just a little more torque than...

So sorry for missing your question. I had to make my own mounts. I used some half inch angle bar and some parma body posts. Four screws at the corners of the battery tray. I've since taken out this spacers you see there between the rails and the tray because they were not necessary.

Finally made it back to the rocks. Too bad video doesn't work, keeps crashing. That's what I get for messing around with custom ROMs.

Dual exhaust. Just in the back end. They terminate into my body rails. It came out okay. Aluminum is just too stiff to be bending more than 45 degrees, just wants to crush even while using a tube bender.

You will know when your batter is low. All of a sudden the performance drops enough to notice. As soon as you see that, stop. But at first, I was the same way. I didn't want to kill a pack so I picked up a lipo checker at my LHS for 10 bucks. It looks like a thumb drive with some digits on the...

Sorry this post happened in error. One of the reasons I've gotten so quiet is because of this phone. I have a few rows of dead lines on my phones digitizer and it gets frustrating trying to fix typos or do anything really.

Don't be sorry, that's what this place is for so ask away. I've never pushed it low enough to find out. Funny that we wrap up our session and the voltage never goes below 7.5v I never allow my pack to go below 7.4v though. But when the pack was brand new it acted like it was hitting what felt...
