I like the swaybar...did you use hardend steel? I not it might bend. If it does and you need to replace it check the local hardware store and ask for piano wire. You'll have to cut it with a dremel or blade made for spring steel. Its hard to bend but once you get it you wil have something that will outlast the rest of the car. Its the stuff they make springs out of so it will transmit the energy from side to side well too.

For something as light as you have it might be overkill. I imagine your bar will work great, but if not you can get a piece fro about a buck fifty.

I really dont know what it is all i know is that its flexiable, and when i compress one side, the other follows for a good 5-8mm's

So i guss it works right.


BTW, does anyone have any spare lexan scraps about 6 by 4 inches?

I just ran out after building one batterybox, and i need more to make the second one.
I've looked everywhere, my hose, and my neighbors, and i still cant find any!

If anyone has some and is willing to throw it in an envelope and mail it to me that'd be great!

Yes, these foams are sick!

i am not too sure on the battery placement now. I might try to lean them inwards when i get the truck running to see if it helps any.

Thanks for the comments, keep em comming!

I also got a JRSM22 micro servo, and its mounted in the car.

My main concern right now is finding a reciever thats reliable, and will fit in the battery compartment with or without a case.
I have a guy on another fourmwho can sell me a losi dsm system for 30 bucks shipped, but i need to know the dimensions.
Its either that or getting a reciever that works with my 27mhz JR XR2i transmitter (it works with the stock micros Cool )

Looks really nice MTM! I like the paint it looks really clean.

If you don't buy that dsm system, tell that guy, that you know another guy, that wants to buy it.

I'm glad the guy on thetoyz found some because I for the life of me can't find the big scarp piece I have. I had a GF who decided t "help" me buy cleaning my workshop and she put a bunch of stuff into storage...now I'm not talking to her so its made a bunch of stuff hard to find.
