I found it beneficial to liven up the rear end while retaining the stability of a short link (inner hole) shimmed high on bulkhead (4mm).

Offered great traction (side and forward) without the snap roll issues.

Good balance (for me).

Raising the inner link lowers the roll center I think and does increase traction.

It increases roll, lessens the "snap" and increases cornering grip.

Going to the 3x3 rear plate gave back some of the rotation that took out.

Again, for me, balance.

That servo is a lot longer that a standard servo. I would check, but my truck is already packed for Motorama and my buddy picked all my stuff up today to get ready for next weekend.

It is a nice servo. I put one in my Wraith. Don't know if it will fit in the SC10 4x4. It will not fit into the SC10 2wd.

Good answer Jeff! i have to fly to where you are and pimp slap you if i see your truck the way it was when i received it again!!

Drove your truck today and it is a beast! a buddy took some video and I will put it on my channel once i get it from him, Will clean it up in the morning and try and get it shipped out late tomorrow or tuesday!

I agree, i like the 3-3 block ALOT right now. only thing i dont like is that it does stiffen the rear up a bit and on rough tracks its a bit of a handfull.

On that note, my adjustable center dif is a go! the acceleration is astounding! I now have one part of the big jump problem solved as I over jumped the triples and quads by a LONGSHOT, same with the quads but i couldnt land them because the nose wouldnt come down
I will have the idler gear proto done in time for testing this weekend.

Default Rear shock tower

Is there an aftermarket rear shock tower?

This is the first part I've broke and it took a beating. Just wondering if there is something better.

Nope. Don't think we will see one either. It's wont be the easiest part to make. I haven't broken a shock tower yet but I have broken the little piece the goes on the shock tower and hold the body posts like 4 times already, haha. If you look at my pics I posted a few pages back, you will see an orange zip tie holding it in place. I know it looks trashy but I'm waiting on some to come in.
