Not sure yet $450-500 maybe

And the excruciating wait for the new engine begins. I underestimated how much I would love this license plate

heyyyyyyyy y’all. Question... moved the steering links to the top of the servo arms. I’m getting much more throw now, but now it’s hitting the chassis brace... should I shave the chassis brace so that I can get maximum throw to both sides or just set my epa so that they are equal without hitting.

got the exhaust mounted up. The truck is ready to be put back together now.

I wouldn't shave the brace IMO. The 1 closer to the tank should be on the bottom of the servo horn. Why not get the correct push/pull tie rod kit from davesmotors.com? ?I think that 1 big azz tie rod is for the single arm setup.

The link is on the top because it would hit the servo

Got you but I think the links are too big.

Yes. That's the one I have

Your servo is in the original position right? You didn't have to drill any new holes in the chassis did you?

Those type of links look like they are of more for 1/4 scale ,I think that I have a few of those left from a old 1/4
scale that I use to have ,maybe like Crucial said!

 

[misterleon]

Yes. That's the one I have

I’m using the same holes

?I just saw this setup on YT. Looks similar to yours and looks like it works with no issues. Maybe upper bellcrank brace is taller?

Yeah it looks taller. I’m gonna put some tires on it and see how much bigger the throw is. It’s definitely improved. I may be happy as is

Still waiting...
