perhaps get a piece of wood, cut it to 105 on a drop saw, then bend around that OR just use a protractor. shouldnt be too difficult to figure out.

105 exactly doesnt matter, thats just to make it fit, and you want to sure its bent in one plane and to the same angle.

if the sway bars are the right size and are set up properly they offer a huge improvement in handling. Basically they reduce bodyroll significantly, ie make the truck sit flatter, reduce traction roll, and help even out the load on each side (ie won't pan the inside wheel as easily)

Sway bars also drastically alter the over/understeer tendancy of your truck so it will require some messing around to set properly.

interesting.

seems like it would be cheap so why not try it out?

i was looking into the lst shocks and the set i would like to purchase will be around 185 bucks for all 4. (i will be building it from scratch.... aluminum shock caps nitride shaft adjustable body) these shocks will be indestructible. just wondering if its worth it... i see a couple people on here not liking them for the track? since i will be primarily bashing should they work fine for me?

so far on this project i have the front/rear end aluminum shock towers the extended aarms and a sweet body.

once everything comes in i will start taking pics of the stuff!

thanks guys

t-maxx the 1515 is plenty with that truck. I have a conversion on a 1515 1y and it is ridiculous. It doesnt even get hot with 16/47 gearing. It is slightly warm to the touch but you can hold your fingers on it and it wont burn after 20 min of running so i know it is well below temps.

would there be any cons to buying a bigger motor than is needed?


this project may take a little longer than expected.
i go a little overboard sometimes on birthday presents n today was one of my best freinds birthdays so i bought him a ps3 and a game.....

this baby should be done by christmas if not a litttle after.

maybe...

anyways ill still be buying things slowly but the electronics will take quite a while.

more amps + weight. thats about all i think (and cost!)

I'd not worry about the amps. You'd need a higher kv motor than a lower kv, bigger motor to produce the same torque. You may even pull less amps.

so it sounds like a 1521 is pointless?
