I agree. I found some down in the creek behind where that video was taken but my RX got water logged and shut me down for the day. :roll:

Here we go. I got it out for a few runs this weekend and heated up the paddles. I had it pulling wheelies on asphalt and my bro-in law got it on video.

Yeah, it bottoms out the drivers rear shock on take off. I'm looking to put a stiffer spring back there before my next run to see if it helps. The only damage from bashing it on the road and in field was it pulled a plastic rod end off the drivers lower link. That's the second time it's done it so I believe it's time to upgrade to alloy. Hopefully I can get it out on the sand or at least loose dirt soon. I'm tired of eating the paddles up on asphalt the last two times I've driven it.

that thing is a beast!

Perhaps a sway bar out back would be a better choice than a stiffer spring.

And maybe you need some speed paws or something for the asphaly sessions.

Yes it is. I'm anxiously awaiting some sand and loose dirt. I'll have to look into a sway bar. It'll take some work due to how the cage is designed. Maybe I can bring it in and attach the links for it to the rear trailing arms. Either way I've got to do something and a sway bar sounds better than a stiffer spring.

This is so awesome! Nice work!

Thanks "thumbsup"

I have offically retired the trophy taker. I took everything apart and cleaned it all in preperation for the new chassis. Time to clean up and sell the chassis/body.
