I was planning to do a little building tonight. I still may do a little.

But Duke Energy called and said they are cutting power from 10:30pm-11:30pm for service tonight. That sounds like a 4am to 5am type deal to me. But I'm sure they have their reasons.

It's not like I'm in a huge hurry anyway. As usual, there are a few little things I had not thought about purchasing/needing yet.

What type of upper's are you8 planning to run?

You may get glitching if you dont have capacitors on your motors .
If you mean upper links . Im using revo aluminum push rods # 5318x & 5319x. Are you going to run the shocks inverted or regular ?.

I've never used caps before and certainly have not had any issues. Let's not jinx it.

In fact, as far as my crawlers go, I have never even unraveled the antenna on the receiver. It still has the original ziptie from packaging. You can see it in the picture below. I'm not saying "Do It" like that. But it has worked for me.

I figure the only time my crawler is more than 5'-10' away from me is when I kick it.

I was able to invert the shocks and mount them. Which if it can be done that way is what I prefer on my crawlers. Get the shock body & oil weight down lower on the rig. I have run into a couple of instance's to where I had to mount them "right side up".

Yes I have, but I have been considering some other slider's that look and should perform much better.

There are several design's out now. I'll shoot a link when I can find the one's that I really like/want.

I got my rig swapped over to the Rockshow chassis now. Available space or lack thereof is a minor concern. I've stuck my Hot axles under it for now. Still waiting on parts to get the Berg axles complete and ready for the show.
