Default Frozen072's Micro-T swaybar tut

Here is my tut for how to make a swaybar for the Micro-T/B.

Things you will need are
1. Motor Guard 1X
2. Shock Bottoms 2X
3. Sip Tie 1X
4. Screws 4X
5. Paper Clip 1X

Step 1. Gather all of your materials.


Step 2. Make two holes as pictured. (maybe even a little bit lower)



Step 3. Bend the paper clip into the shape pictured.


Step 4. Screw on ONE of the shock bottoms to the Motor Guard.



Step 5. Put the swaybar though the single shock bottom.


Step 6. Put the other Shock Bottom on the swaybar, and screw it on to the Motor Guard.




Step 7. Attach the Motor Guard to the tranny.


Step 8. Cut 2 pieces of zip tie about 1/4 of an inch and put 2 holes in them.




Step 9. Put 1 of the zip-tie pieces on the swaybar and attach it to the arm. It attaches where the shocks would go on the back in either on the holes, I normally use the inner one but I can't tell a difference.



Step 10. Put the other zip-tie piece on the other side of the sway bar, and attach it to the same hole.


Step 11. Make sure that the swaybar is centered and does not bind any of the suspension.

Your done!!!!!!!!!!!! Your swaybar should look something like the one below.






The swaybar won't work so good with the blue springs because there to stiff and teh swaybar just flexes to much. If you have any suggestions on a thicker wire that I could use feel free to PM or post it.

Thanks I got some suggestions of other wire that I could use in the Micro-T/B thread so whenever I can get some I'm going to try it out. I'm also working on a front sway bar.

I think that it works enough to notice a difference in handling. The pics are a little blury because it was my first time using that camera.
