Thanks guys!

Much has happened with this truck. For starters, it got a rear sway bar a while back, with a design similar to what is used in CORR trucks.
After repeated use the screw holding the lower links to the chassis (can't see it 'cuz it's hidden by the blue spacers) would bend. So I built a beefy lower link mount.
I messed around with the suspension a bit, mainly just the rear suspension, and now it's riding on XTM white springs and I think 15wt. oil. Up front I swapped the shocks to Traxxas Big Bores with Trinity blue springs (cut down) and around 45-50wt. oil.

The body was painted, and now has begun to fall apart. Let's just say this truck LIKES to roll. However, a coworker of mine who is a great driver suggested I lose the rear swaybar because of oversteer, so this is definitely contributing to some of the body roll.

It's kinda sad that I haven't driven this truck in a good month or so, to work on improving its capabilities. Besides, I've got a belt-drive truggy conversion that has been taking up most of my RC time
