    Mocked up some dual rear shocks. Need to fine tune some angles and probably oil/spings but now it doesn’t roll over the second i take a sharp turn but its still soft enough i still keeps the same flex going

    Just starting with the rear. I dont thing the front needs it. What it does need is some extra spring weight. Probably some tire weights. And maybe a different coil/oil setup. It does good though with some stock length axial icons. Staying cms really limits what i can do. But going 4link up there helped the flex

    Finally had the chance to get this thing on the rocks with the axles and rear link riser. There’s always room for improvement, but she definitely crawls! I just need to pick up some purple springs now.

    Used to be into it years ago but It got me in trouble and I destroyed My RC Celica.
    The trouble began for me when I chased my neighbors dog back to this house with it and my neighbor saw me doing it. That didn't go well. It had worked a few times before.
    The car was destroyed while I was racing it on my street which is a cul-de-sac. When I approached the intersection it slid out onto the main road. That didnt go well either. It got ran over.
    Wanted to get a drone but my wife put a stop to that and used the RC as the reason why. What could I have done with a drone? Ill never find out now.

    The body is the GR Supra from Tamiya sitting on my MST RMX 2.0 RWD drift chassis. The body came with a new Tamiya TT02 kit, but I'm waiting for my bearings and shocks to arrive before assembling the kit.

    Is that a complete molded body? And may I Barrow these pics? I have an RC Tacoma build thread I would like to post this on. I'm attempting my first build and would like to show this amazing work.
    Thanks :hattip:

    Wanted to get into this hobby for a while so I recently picked up a TRX-4 Bronco.

    On the second day of ownership, I burned out the steering servo...:anonymous:
    Ordered a Power HD 23 kg and a traxxis steering horn as a replacement.

    Removed the bumpers for better approach angle.

    Also 3d printed a switch for the ESC power button so that I can turn it on and off without removing the body which is cool.

    Now I just need to find some good rocky crawling terrain nearby
