What's better than 1 5-link runner? Why 2 of course

If you're still wondering about the early front housing adjustment there were no shims. You just had to loosen the 8 screws that attach the top and bottom chassis plates at the front, move the housing to tighten/loosen the front belt, then tighten the 8 screws back down. Kinda silly but it did the t...

Schumacher Cougar LD2, so I can use my modern hex AE offset front wheels. I'll most likely use my JC Racing wheels for the other, want to keep that one mostly stock.

Had to have it

More to come but this year's Kinwald Classic 5-link build is moving right along

Okay, now I’m done, so I figured I’d go down my 5-link runner build, here goes: Junior 2 chassis XX-T retrofit trans w/22 5.0 slipper MIP XX CVDs w/XXX Gen 2 axles Vintage RC lipo holder (modified) Robinson side bulkheads Factory Works chassis brace, steering and rear shock tower Jammin’ Pro SE fron...

Oh that was you on FB! Great build. I didnt ask before but how's the geometry on the ld2 knuckles compared to stock? I had to play with raising and lowering the bellcranks to get the right turnbuckle angles so bumpsteer was reduced. Also, the Jammin' front shock tower has taller holes for the cambe...

One more pic before the BK race next weekend:

A few action pins

As soon as it came I had it apart and rebuilt. Not perfect but I'm just excited to have a Pro Box.
