Rebuilt with lots of titanium....

The sway bars are the new lunsford titanium grinder links and the pushrods were grabbed on sale for 12 on tower...

Apologies for the bumper - Its gone....

Really looks good, but honestly, I would have went with the Traxxas tubes. I had the Lunsford pushrods and surprisingly, they bent rather easy. Whats odd is titanium usually doesn't bend. It'll bounce back for the most part or just snap...

True dat. I never had a problem with the turnbuckles, but the front pushrods both bent on me. I do like the fact that the way practically nothing what so ever though.

By the way, you have a link to the sway bar rods?

Details on the inner tubes please.

I'm sick of double strapping both sides to prevent strap beakage. Its a PITA. That looks simple. Can we get a better shot of it and some feedback on the best way to set it up?

Anyone ever try this type of hold down in a buggy or truggy? Looks like it could be a nice quick(er) change battery setup. Faster than messing with velcro straps anyway.

I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

Can I help

I have some close up pics in my thread about those inner tubes. http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...8&postcount=72

It's very easy mod. Just buy some bicycle inner tubes. What wider the better eg. I used 2.4" wide dh(downhill/mountain bike) bicycles inner tube. Cut 'em so it's tight fit with your battery pack. You can flex this stuff pretty much and it won't snap. If it feels too tight you can halve the tubing so its just one "blanket". Then I did small holes both ends of the cutted tubing, so it's easier to thread through the screws. Then just secure the tubings to the chassis (look my link at the top) and voila, bon apetit..

FYI tighten the "pressure plates" very tight between the tubing. If not the screws might slit the tubing.. Hope this help

Edit:. typos
