my FLM/GPM progress so far.......

so here's my new turnbuckles...... REAR...

i thought they would be too short 71mm as compared to the Lundsford 83mm, but with the RPM Long ends, they are perfect length to cover all threads.... on the front caster and steering im actually going to have to cut the rod ends a tad shorter to make them fit.......

as you can see, still no front arms...... thats all i need to get this truck going, at least with the stock Traxxas motor and electronics, (until i can afford a brushless system)
