Yeah Todd thanks. I looked it up and found company that made the brake. They weren't around for a long time. I was gonna go back to factory stuff but maybe I'll keep it. Has a factory team trans mount also. Do you know if trinity made servo mounts? Not sure if I'm keeping the tabby case either.

Also has MIP ball bearing steering. I remember the boost bottle but never had one. Are they worth installing?

The MIP boost bottle was a additional air leak waiting to happen and when you could get them to seal there was no performance change that I could feel or see. I think they were more of a "novelty" item...kinda like alloy bumpers. They were cool to look at but really served no purpose IMHO.

Some updated pics if someone can post for me. Slow progress as I've lost some steam waiting on parts.

Just remember this trick for the future. Super simple. I'm going to alter the code so the image doesn't show up but what you'll be looking to change for your images to work is what I've added in red

This trick won't last forever. But until it's fixed keep using it

When you copy and paste your Photobucket link. Add in the script "~original" in the placement I showed you in red.

Truck is looking great! Very nice build. What did you cover/coat the chassis in?
