4wd Corr/Pro-4 Truck REDESIGN POSTED 12/23/09

[MetalMan]

It's gonna be over a week before this truck can do anything major on film... The rest of this week is pretty busy for me, then next week is finals. At least I'm done by 10am on Thursday (11th)! Then I can head over to the track at about 3pm when it opens.

Quick update: Got the body painted up, and have found some weak-er things with the lower links causing screws to bend (albeit not high strength steel). So I will have to ditch the nice-looking aluminum rod ends on the lower links and go to plastic to allow the links to flex more, and will have to work on the spacing between the links where they are triangulated.

Thinner weight oil (35) in the rear shocks definitely helps, but GS shocks SUCK. No wonder they were Red Tag... So that means this truck is getting some Ofna Super shocks up front that WON'T leak. That will make the handling a lot more predictable.

A rear sway bar is in the very near future as well. On-power steering will benefit greatly from it.
