Fallin Apart's BWD 'Low Pro' Wedge Build

[fallin apart]

I got My first comp Mrc last year and I really liked comping with the mini's because of the more even playing field, my latest mini I was comping was a BWD Wedge that just preformed awesome and couldn't wait to try out BWD's new chassis when I saw the Low Pro come out I knew I had to have one so once they got released I picked one up.

Copy Cat! It'll never perform as well as mine. :mrgreen:

Just kidding Austin, I'm anxious to see how you set yours up; it will be fun to comp these against each other.

I already told you that I was getting a low pro and you knew it, so you just had to take my idea. :mrgreen: and I'm waiting to see how you set yours up so I can "borrow" yoursetup

Make sure when you screw the rodends to the lower links you use the black set screw and dont make the same mistake I did and use the silver/chrome one's. Part # on the traxxas rodends #1942

The parts truck

Last years comp rig

put the chassis together, when you put your back lower links on you wont use the screw the the rodends use each other to lock it together

I like the way you're heat-treating all the parts on the stove! "thumbsup"

Looking good Austin! The parts you have listed above are all my first choice in parts; I run them on my other Mini Wedge and they are top notch. The only thing I would say is to save your money on the lockouts. I had them on two of my rigs, and kept bending the shafts inside. I finally went back to old-school dogbones on my pre-Pro Roller rig, and have found the Pro Roller stock lockouts to be great. Just my 2 cents worth there, buddy. "thumbsup"

I never had a prob. with lockouts my last wedge, plus I like bling 8)
