Redback Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 y'all are NUTS! Looks great jack, glad you went with black, suits it better than the chrome ones imo, let us know how it rolls, should help a bit with performance. What weight were the wheels? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lone-wolf Posted June 4, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2022 Had the Texan out at harden moor quarry this morning, i find it likes to tip over a fair bit and as such its slowly starting to get the "weathered look" I might do a video for you tube but my laptop is playing up (cooling fan not working so might overheat), here are a few stills 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunny Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Can anyone confirm if these run a chassis mounted servo with 3 link front and pan hard bar please, I bought a FTX Geo which looks very similar but runs 4 link front with pan hard and chassis mounted servo which is strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomr Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) A few alloy parts to add to the rear have arrived and a set of high clearance links, annoyingly I ordered them in 324mm, they’ll do for my CRX now it’s getting a makeover as soon as I get the chance.
