I guess I'll need to try deer creek again. It just didn't do it for me the first time I was there. Maybe because I live in folsom lol

Everyone I've known whos run rear steer has took it off due to breakage. It's really hard to make it reliable. If your gonna keep it. I would suggest atleast a hitec 7955, and definitely mip shafts and metal c hubs and knuckles.

ya i got the c hub and knuckles part, i would jus get a hitec 7954 if im gna spend more then 60$, thats y im try to keep it under 60, at 6v mg995 worked fine for 4ws but it cant handle 7.4 and thats whut im runin

these are the previous owners pix and the same way when i got it.
well here is how my rig sits now.all new links,new skid,shortened the shocks by 1/2" put traxxas shock valves in them,cut the springs down to size,narrowed the wheels by 3/4" cleaned and lubed everything.
here some of the garbage i took off of it.
the skid was only 3/16 thick had 1/8" screws holding it on the tvp's.the skid was also about 1/2 to narrow so here used the washer's to shim it out.the washers hung under the chassis like a 1/4". the steering and a couple of links were made from 3/16 brake line with holes drilled in the side.then spot welded to hold the set screw in. as you can see from the steering linkage it was not very good. the 2 springs and 4 nuts were on the rear shocks along with the shock springs to keep it from well moving at all i guess. the rig had almost no articulation at all.the front shocks had zero oil in them the rears were about half full. I could keep going on and on but you get the idea.
