Looks great Kevin. In that first pic it looks like you have quite a nice collection of trucks going.

well here it is! 16" CPE link kit worked great.

now i need to mount the CPE vertical steering servo mount and futaba metal gear servo. going to install a new xl5 esc and silver cans with some stocker pinions. im still unsure of the wheels and tires but for now they work. also ordered a new receiver traxxas link system, really excited

any suggestions? ideas?

Looking good !! seeing that makes me want to drag mine out and tinker with it

im bringing this back from the dead....as ive been spending a TON of time getting my tuber finished.

its not going to be the scaler trucks that everyone has, more of a tuber basher/runner but no racing.

im also thinking about adding in rear steering, since both axles are locked....and im too lazy to take them apart to install gear diffs.

also rear steering would be kind cool with the tube chassis.

Truck's looking good there Kevin. I agree, go for the 4WS. It does look cool...

Kevin I'm curious if there is any update on your truck? Also wondering what the final wheelbase is?

Spencer i think he sold it and for example mine is a 13 in wb , but you can make your own links to fit what ever wb you want

The new era king himself! Your truck my inspiration so I think I'll do that. I am doing clod axles with the shock/link mount brace so I don't think the 16" kit would work.

How do suggest measuring for link lengths?

set your axles apart equally with the wheelbase you want
place the chassis in the center
take measurements for the lower links and make them up
now install lowers with hardware tight
now you can make the uppers and set axle angle to optimal performance

Unfortunately New Era went out of business
so the chassis are rare to begin with...now they will be even more
