Buildup -- Step 16: Gaze in awe!

Finally! It's complete! It needs a body, sure, but that can wait! Using shorter springs has helped immensely on the suspension travel and plushness of the ride. As you can see, articulation is massive (though the right front tire in figs. 68 & 69 is a couple millimeters off the ground.

Many Mad Force owners have had trouble with the center driveshafts popping out under power due to excessive articulation, but I don't yet see how this will happen on this truck -- the shafts have hardly any play, no matter how much I twist the suspension. We'll see what happens once I start running the truck, but first, I'll need to stretch my patience and break it in properly.
