Solid build, I always feel like my bodies need more trimming too 😂. 40° weather is tough for crawling for sure, but you do good job for the conditions. I wonder if you’ve ever tested that rig without the rear brass wheel weights and if it performed better or worse?

any servo should work, you just have to adjust your end travel so you don't bind or break things. If your radio does not have adjustments then make sure you have some type of bump stop.

Another solution is to adjust the steering servo endpoints using the TQI transmitter, it’s pretty painless to so using their ‘programming tree’ and you lose no steering angle, just the bump steer (and strain on the servo). 👍

yes thats true, but my issue was the panhard bar, limiting the servo would remedy that but I would also loose a lot of steering angle. It was just a quick fix option, its completely changed now 😆

Thanks so much. I only used a drop of oil to lubricate the o-rings, those are not baffle shocks so the oil does nothing else. They work off internal spring pressure only.
