Status: offline 		Lots of guys go with the LST shock conversion but I went with the Cen GST shocks. They are set up perfect. It lowers the truck and handles awsome. I got all 8 from ebay for less than $40 shipped. They are alot bigger thatn the stock ones but shorter. The truck handles awsome with this setup. No mor rolling over on turns.

Status: offline 		Like said above the tubing is for protection. Even though I have the roll bar its just one of those just in case things.

As for the short antenna I have it short for bashing. I have had antennas get sheared off because it lands in its top and and breaks teh wire. I have plenty of range and all the rest of the wire is coiled up inside the battery box so I dont lose reception. Thats why a short antenna.

Status: offline 		I lose a little but where I bash and race I dont need the full length. If you have an FM radio you dont lose much at all. You can run them real short. I also have a failsafe so if it does lose range it will stop.
