You only really need them in the front lower arms because that is really what you would hit anything with. I have not had a problem with the caster ones in the rear.

Maybe if you ran into less things with the front you wouldn't need them there either....

I was just gonna leave the stockers in until I lost (if I should happen to) an e-clip and needed to replace them.

New Hotness, My Caster K8T

still adding a few decals, mainly to the wing. The paint is actually a metallic candy apple red that fades to black toward the back. Pics came out a little bright and I was too lazy to edit the saturation and brightness

LRP Spec 3 Truggy (originally bought for a different truggy, but since I'm selling the other truck this needed a home)
Hitec 5955 Steering, Spektrum Z650 or 690, whatever it is, on throttle (had it laying around too, I'll probably pick up a faster one after I sell the first truggy)
Thunder Tiger tuned exhaust, had read a bunch of info on it and a lot seem to like it
Dynamite Throttle/Brake Linkage
7K/10K/3K on fluids
40wt Silicone in shocks
Wheels and tires are stockers, figured they are fine for break in and a little playin around afterward. PL Velocity's I already have (black), will mate them to Bow Ties or Crime Fighters.
Dyed the Stock white plastics (Wing and Wheels) black

Upgrades Planned

Caster Big Bores when they get stateside
Captured type Pivot Balls (steering, turnbuckles)
Caster 150cc fuel tank

"You guys cracked me up big time on some of teh ways you hide this from your wives, lol"

I don't think of it as "hiding it", since I get a credit card bill every month...it's basically like a 20 day stay of execution until the bill arrives.

Not if you have a paypal account and keep your money in that when you sell stuff on ebay and use that money to buy stuff then you never get a bill!!!

SMOOOOOTH
