So I went route number 3. Didn't install the Max8/2200 I am really thinking about dropping this in my What N Tarnation Build!. Gear it up and she'd be a flippin' beast. Litteraly lol do a short wheelybar and make it a wheely machine. lol I hate that though. heh

Once I had it on the way I determined my dorkass should have ordered a Sensored system, because I will be doing some low speed crawing with it.

So I now have an RX4/2300kv HD Tekin system on the way and a HW 3.0 for the radio box. also have a set of F and R axles, SSD Axle tubes on the way. Have a set of Fast Eddy Bearings for the entire rig. Added a pair of shock bumpers as internal limiters to the rear shocks, still have to do the fronts and put them on.

going to keep this Vanquish Yeti XL sway bar and get a piece of spring steel for it and get it installed in a day or so.
Teken stuff should be here early week.

Looking at a few addition sets of rims/tires to run. Ottsix USD Stickys are out of Stock everywhere.

So I think Im going to get a set of Duratrax Deep Woods and and put them on a set of HR Steel Beadlocks and then a set of Chinese aluminum beadlocks and 2.2 tires with no badging and a nice tread pattern I can sip away.

I also found a good used set of Pitbull Rock Beasts II on a set of Pro Line USA beadlock rims in 2.2 from Ebay.

So when I installed my 2 speed and finished up making the Reefs Micro 99 servo and horn work for the 2 speed, and fiddling 3 times with the 2 speed itself getting it to work really well, I put those wheel on the ryft.

Here it is currently, Still need to do the front shocks and install them.

currently has a pair of 120 china shocks up front on each side, one unsprung just for dampening support. Works pretty well to be honest, just 120mm is too short. not enough travel.
