Last night I won some hardware, a servo for 4ws, and swaybars for a 1/8buggy I will mod...I basically just got them for the springsteel but they were cheap so I'm happy.

Ok, so I guess there is no reason to keep it under wraps.

Here is a teaser shot.

Ya, thanks..I think it's going to come out nice. That F650 is an 1/8 scale body. I felt that a skimpy 1/10 body would look silly with such a long wheelbase. That body is 21" long.

There are many types and I found that they are all different in some way. You have to look closely at each one as well as length to figure out what you need. I got the HPIs because they were 5" and had pivot balls on each end allowing for a lot of flex.
