Thanks for the input everyone, keep the questions and comments coming. I knew I'd have to get my stiff sway bar back from a friend, but I didn't know the Tekno was that much better. Being on a budget (see my buggy thread http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...998#post283998 ) I'll try the stiff traxxas for now and move the links down as far as I can. If you lift one rear wheel the other will come up, but only when the one being lifted is almost at the end of its travel. P3 Rockers require longer pushrods right?

I'm thinking some tan springs for the rear and move the greens to the front. The truck weighs 12-12.5lb with batt right now, and sags a little too much. The handling is pretty neutral on dirt and can be made to slide easily, but I need a little slide action for tighter turns on the street. I don't want a one trick pony. I'm going to try moving the batt forward a bit too. Not to prevent wheelies as they only happen from slow speeds or a stop.

I know wider offset wheels will help alot, but they won't fit under the body, and I don't have any right now. I'm going to do some test fitting at the LHS today, I'll see if they will rub and what it looks like. I'll be taking pics too, vids will come when it stops raining here.

Hey Lincpimp, how's your savage coming? Can't wait to see another one of these going.
