You know what sucks? Due to jwscab I will now have enough for YET ANOTHER Traxxas build (probably a blackened Radicator or maybe Hawk). Gee thanks guys, nothing like giving the crack fiend more drugs lmfao :lol:

Big thanks to Resto Brian for finding me a case! Got a few black parts as placeholders but it's getting there!

what's going on with the front end width? or is the wheel just sitting there?

Haha it's a bit of an optical illusion in the pic but I'm having some second guessing on the arms. If those arms are same as nitro hawk, and it uses a narrower bulkhead.....and these wheels have a ton more offset.... Wtf

The parts list from Traxxas is obviously wrong on other parts but I'm wondering if this should have the 1731 arms not the 1931. If so I'm pissed! Lol

i think you have front wheels for the sledgehammer and not for the eagle.

I threw on a pair of 1873 which is what it said to use- unfortunately mine were mislabeled :shock: they are the sledgehammer/hawk 1 wheel. Luckily I had another set of them and they are the proper offset. That makes me feel better about the arm length! Thanks for the "Eagle eye" hahahaha

that looks better.

looking at pics of my old truck, it looks like they had 3 shock mounting points on the front arms where your black ones have 4. but they may be the same total length.

Yeah those are not only black but they are the "R" version so they have the extra holes. In looking over your pics it's looking pretty close now. I used your pics for the camber link positions :mrgreen: I have the correct white arms coming from Denmark 8)

i built it per the manual too, so where they are is where it said to put them.

just make sure you put the tops of the rear shocks on the backside of the tower....... unlike me. :lol:
