hey dudes, i havent really posted much here lately but i'm always right next door at rc10talk! anyway, i got a question for shag and sent him a pm just now, but i was wondering if maybe any of you guys had talked or emailed him lately. it doesnt look like he's very active on this board anymore... an...

btw, the traxxas ends have held up fine before i added 5 or so pounds of delrin. i'll update if i ever have problems with 'em.

ages since i've updated...

heres a pic. lotsa stuff going on. should be waterproof to 10'

hilift leafs are .27" wide.

my leafs are modded with traxxas ball ends but they measure about 4.6" long at about mid-flex. (measured on rig)

i've got 4 or 5 lipos and a couple tx packs from maxamps.com. pretty dang good place imo.

this new format is just funny...

used the longest helper spring, drilled a hole in the ends, bent them up, screwed on traxxas ball ends.



there is a much better description over at scale4x4rc.org, search for "rooster" mod.

NEVER! LOL, the leafs are one of the things I love about this truck :D i agree. i dont get why you would take a hilift and then 4link it, but then again i got lots of 4links and thats why i love the leafs on the hilift... you can get delrin leafs off rcc, i have a set that i havent tried out yet bu...
