It can be hard to do sometimes but I can get the correct plug if need be.We even have the pigtails needed for splicing.

The maddog's work well for me so far. I havent had them out alot though. I had Rockers before and they flat out kicked ass. I would have gotten them again but the 39.5 is way to wide for my liking in the rocker. The rocker is a bit more agressive than the maddog is. They should have the 42 rocker out soon which isnt supposed to be as wide

Question regarding your steering. Did you have a toy setup before this or just stock? Just wondering if my All-Pro pitman arm circa 2001 will work with my 60 or if i need to swap for something else.

I ran toy axles before. I've had a Sky 3/4 drop arm on for years with both axles. I never moved my steering box and the arm fits perfect but you have to grind the threads off that stick out the TRE. My drag link is toy ends hooked to a 60 arms tapered for toy stuff. Tie rod is 1 ton dodge ends run off the factory location.

[rocktoy]

Tig is working well and seldom breaks. Biggest thing now is replacing the Tg creeper joints as they become trash. I did swap from Baja SS's to PRP Comp Pro highback's but thats about all the changes.

I still want it lowered some more yet though.

Put it in a club comp this weekend. Mostly based of class 2 RCrock's I think. Our team took 2nd by .125 of a point and I was in the shootout being the only rig to kill all 20 cones

[Mike Kelly]

Well done! Thanks for the great photos.

[Hoodlum]

[rocktoy]

Bill took pics? I have never seen a camera in Bill's hands before.Looks like he would actually make a good picture bitch.

[rocktoy]

He said it was hard getting picks in the shootout. Right from the start I came through the gates in 2nd gear hauling ass

[Hoodlum]

You going to compete in the RCROCS series?

[rocktoy]

Its been forever since I have been on here. Not much has changed on this rig. Got rid of the Pitbull's after destroying 8 of them in 2 years and have been running Comp Trepador's for a bit over a year now. I have been pretty hard on the rig and I havent really been breaking stuff at all. I love not working on it and just enjoying it.

[rocktoy]

This thing is still kicking but has gotten pretty beat over the past few year's. A new rig had been drawn up and in November if everything goes well this will be torn down for a fresh start.
