Dumped the cantilevers

[hdmm]

I finally got rid of the cantilever setup on the CR-01, I liked it because it was different and worked OK, but the truck just wobbled around too much and there were no really good fixes for the play in the cantilever setup, just band-aids for them. I ended up using ultra shocks that I believe are for the T-Maxx, I made some mounts to mount to the top of the axle with some spare parts, a few spacers here and there and a couple of new mounting holes for the front shocks and that was it. The suspension is really plush and has more travel than before.

Now to go outside and test it some more.......:D

I totally agree with you, too much wobble.. Good call.. :) And it looks so much less cluttered.

Thats a very nice lookin fj, I noticed it the other day in a different thread. What color is that you used..
