Well I can honestly say it's a completley differant truck. Running the RCMK towers and shocks. The truck actually jumps true now. No more nose diving cartwheeling bs. Have 4-5 tanks on it now after modifications and nothing more than a few bent body clips and a broken windshield.

I'll be out thrashing on it again tomorrow.

Well so far no f'n good. Had to dremel a slot in the bulkheads for the links to clear and now I'm having to shave off the hinge pin brace so the ackerman arm clears with no binding

 

[DougStar]

I just installed ufc links on my losi and I had to dremel the bulkhead and the bellcrank coz of binding
But at the end of the day if you modified a 1/5 and the dremel dose not come out at some point you need more upgrades

I did still not entirely happy. The servo arms are too long I have them screwed so far into the ball end it is warping the plastic lol. Only way they would fit onto saver and horn.

May have to pull them apart and shorten up the link a wee bit.

Too bad woke up to rain today so my trucks stay on the stand today

Well after 2 tanks with this fid steering push pull steering set up I am impressed. Works very well despite having to pull out the dremel yet again.

Gettin after it

Was able to track down a tps servo horn and ddm pro throttle and brake linkage for the dbxl. Will test it out this weekend. Overall I'm happy with the turtle racing set up but I needed a new linkage anyway so the ddm pro will work with either set up.
