Do now? Or is it still 4wd with shafts? Pic is too dark to tell

Do you have a build thread anywhere showing all the mods you have done?

OR do you have some better photos you could share with us?

It looks amazing

Cheers

Status: offline 		Neal what kind of spring did you use? I found that messin with the spring is super hard to find the perfect rate cause its either to much or to little. For me it is better to mod the pawl.
