Thanks man!

You're welcome!

i have a couple questions if you don't mind me asking them.

shouldn't there be 2 washers under the rear body post?

i see you have flat nuts under the steering parts ad not washers. is this something that changed with the worlds cars or is this just a personal build choice?

There should be two washers under the rear body post, I just noticed that myself . The steering came that way but I haven't been able to find another new built one to reference it to yet.

As far as questions go I don't mind a bit, ask away .

only if they're needed.

that's the correct way to mount the stock bellcrank on a graphite chassis. you can't use washers because there's no way to tighten the screw to the chassis.

Ah ha! scr8p to the rescue, thanks for the enlightenment !

cool thanks for the answers on that.

As for the two washers under the rear body post if you are using a Viper it does not need them. The original Pro-Tech requires them as it sits a little higher in the rear than the Viper.


I wish I had another one of these buggies... I have seriously considered driving this one but can't bring my self to it .
