(Full disclosure: this is going to be a long post)
After going to a rc meet up a week or two back that I brought my temper to I have had a lot to think about with this little guy. And after a few days of rolling it around in my head and waiting for payday I picked up and ordered some parts for him to put this rig to the point that I am 90%ish happy lol
I am still running a Teton motor but I guess I got it too hot or ran it too long and it burned up at the meet. I slapped another one in. I picked up a twin hammers roller at the meet as well and took the esc & rx that I had in the temper out to make it work and put the stock esc back in this little guy. When I get the funds the twin will be going brushless and the esc can go back in the temper lol. I saw a post in the barrage forum (or a youtube video I don't remember) where a guy used m3 motherboard standoffs to lengthen his links. I ordered a variety pack off amazon and started playing around. It didn't take long before I found that I wanted longer shocks. A vendor was out at the meet up and I found his card again and hit the place up to get these boom racing 90mm internal spring shocks. They are great and I am running them with the stiffest springs in the set. Lastly I have seen people with 4 links on here and thought id try my hand at it. I am grateful that the twin I picked up was originally a kit and had leftover rod ends. The result is this. The tires were given to me at the meet and are too small I feel. I get hung up on things I think I shouldn't.
The last things I feel I need to do is get steel driveshafts and cvd for the front end. The savox servo gives me a little bit too much throw and starts clicking when I turn at a certain point. Id turn my trim down but I like the turning circle now lol
