Can say after the arm mod (strength) i have not broken any arms and i have app 100 packs or so some of the impacts are heavy :)

No CVD mod, only some dremeling at the opposite side where to mount wheel, to get it app 1.5mm shorter, otherwise it will touch the diff when the shocks are fully compressed.

Shortened the towers to get more droop, dual towers for more strength

Tested the truck today...real fun, working real well!! no stripping belts or so...hope my new chassi will arrive next week, and then some new belts...i will make a 165mm wb car of this...

Custom belts for 165mm wheelbase have i bought, they where real costy! but, i think it can be fun..
