front end is done and let me tell yall, what a pain in the keaster this was! it initially bolted up great, i was really happy with everything, just started out with a slammed setup since i dont have a speedy's front tower in front of me to model off of and the slammed setup is more involved anyway. ...

planned on a 17.5 blinky so im not too worried but that had come to mind.

biggest thing when i was trying to piece together a trx3 was i always seemed to be a day late or a dollar short on stuff when it popped up. gave up and sold most of what i had collected on ebay (not much). figured id run bandit rears w/ srt carriers, srt rears w/srt carriers, or bullet rears w/ bull...
