Did a mock up with the new shocks, T600 and the body(no it's not a Grave Digger body).

It's huge....:D

I was worried the T600 would hit the lower link while articulating, but the axle moves with it so the motor is at the same distance from the link all the time.

4S is for sissys, 6S is the way to go!

You know what, you are right... cause 4S is only like dual pack.. that's nothing!! Got to be 6S or 8S!! :D

We could just make a big lipo with wheels on it and a motor.

Hey TEX, what was wrong with the other shocks?
They are good for straight applications and not good at an angle. They lock up if the angle is too great. That is why I purposely bough the HPI's. They have pivot balls on both top and bottom.

Anyone want to trade for 8 Tamiya MT shocks?
So that explains my proble now!:eek: I was wondering why they were kinda locking up....[:@]

Use your cursor to move the car to see the color morph.

Did you see my old crawler chassis? It's painted with stuff like that. Goes from green, purple, and a little gold. Dominant color is green on mine though.
