Hello fellow RC enthusiasts, greetings from southern California!



I have a few RC projects on the shelf and one in particular has started staring at me lately, mainly because everytime I try to climb a rock either a stearing rod pops off, suspension link fails, or the drive axle slips...TXT-1.../sigh.


Lotsa research and time thinking about it has me braking down and Modding my ride, still not ready and have a question I have not seen answered.


Almost done (right) with most of the mods, just have to move the servos me thinks.


I know alot ditch the cantilevers and move the shock mounts to the axles, but what if you replace the rod with another shock. What I did was use the stock shocks I had replaced and mounted them to the axle brace next to the lower link mounts. So basically it just looks cool ;)


Has anyone ever tried this or is this just a silly venture of a man with too much time on his hands?
