Interesting! But why are you running two different sets of rear travel limiters? Looks like the Killer Kables are redundant..

hi tonystott yeah i have two sets of shock limiters on it just to be on the save side
the hoods hobbys shock limiters are known to strecth a little and with the rear now
having double shocks and more weight its better to safe than sorry

My next baja build will have a dual rear shock setup like that, looks good. I prefer those paddles over the HPI ones too.

i'm looking to do double shocks on the front also just a few mods here and there
yeah sheograth i agree the RC4WD tyres are better cos they have way more grips for the sand than the hpi ones.
