    Excuse my ignorance but do you add brass as weight and do you only add it as unsprung?

    Yes, add brass to get the weight balance of the car for the type of trails you hit, typically low and wide is best for any weight. Balance front to rear is best, ive loaded the front of mine down, it climbs well but struggles on steep descents.

    Just checked wheelbase and it’s about 12.56” with my custom link setup. She sure does climb for some baldies! :)

    Well first off... i just did what caleb wanted as far as wiring, he did all the light placement and mounting.

    2nd, they were not waterproof and he knew it so im suspecting that was the cause.

    3rd.... All of my lights on my truck still work, and they have been installed for years.

    4th... you want to make some extra money on Friday morning?? ~$50 I have a guy that wants me to run wires for some light on his truck, he wants to drop it off friday morning.

    Below is what he wants... Should be pretty easy...

    wires ran for rear bumper lights
    wires ran for front bumper 30" bar
    wires ran for front ditch lights
    front ditch light bracket install
    ditch light mount
    interior switch plate install
    switch harness wiring

    This is what he has purchased....

    1. This is the switch panel that the front bumper light bar, ditch lights, and rear bumper light pods will terminate to.
    [​IMG]
    2. I have 3 of these switches - For front bumper light bar, ditch lights, and rear bumper light pods, and will terminate in the panel on item #1
    [​IMG]


    3. I will be using my stock fog light on/off switch on the truck. This requires these two plug's since I will use stock switch and aftermarket fog lights

    5. Single Leg Wiring Harness

    Did you try using your brass SCX knuckles or would you need different C Hubs?

    Oh, I guess I was thinking they might've worked in the BTA orientation, but can understand why they wouldn't after further thought. Steering link from the servo still goes in front of the axle, right?
