you should move your body mounts to the top, makes a big difference when in a tight spot

i was looking at that. how did you do it, is there a kit or do you have to fab something up

I took a stock post and cut it down. then attached it to the stock plastic brace.

its a nice motor. lots of torque and plenty of wheel speed if you need it.

i got another load of rocks a few weeks back and redid the whole thing. my wife asked me to move the concrete to the other side of the tree so all you can see from the patio is the river rocks. i tried to cover alot of the concrete with rocks, so that used alot of my rocks up. i am gonna get another load this weekend when i am up at my folks. i think i am gonna build some some swinging bridges also.

My mom and amanda both keep hinting towards a pond and waterfall. Its not gonna happen, i already have to take care of the spa and fountain amanda had to have. i got the herd all fix for the holiday weekend. 2 crawlers and 2 go fast rigs. i'm gonna drag the arena so we will have a smooth sand track. I got some sand paddles for the stampede to run out in the arena

when i said i fixed the herd, thats because my dad was driving them. When he drives my trucks he likes to run them into things at high speeds.

well i got another load of rock so i could put in a waterfall and pond. then dug it up and turned it around so it faced the lawn. not my idea and i wasn't very happy about moving it

i also got an edge chassis for 20 bucks so i am gonna try and swap the redcat axles over to it.

it seems to be holding up pretty good so far. it is small the only thing i think you would have issues with is the upper links. it was definately a tight fit to put a dig in it. I got the b*std and the edge chassis for less than 100 so i grafted the redcat in the edge chassis. there is a guy on rcc that made his moa
