got to run tmaxx shocks all around(rustler shocks are tmaxx shocks in the back)

to run them you have to have an aluminum front shock tower, then drill some holes in the center(notice how the shocks are mounted about 1/2" away from each other.) then I had to dremel a little out of my lower a arm to get the shocks to lean over at that angle.

your just like my buddy

he goes I think it will work I did a 2 foot drop.

real trucks do the 6 foot drop. my, revo, other revo, rc18, and my rustler survived.
the rc18 was an accident, becuase it fell of the fridge. never did it to the poor micro t. I didnt think it would survive.
