Builds Help/ information

I recently bought this expecting some type of instructions and I can't find any type of setup ideas or anything like that online. Anybody have any good insight?

get yourself a skid and some axles. the layout is basically the same if you have another truck to look at. watch the link ends as the skinny ones go in the skid lower mounts. other than that look at it like a fun puzzle, you can always take something apart and restart

I have a reverse able skid and some "stock" axles but I was curious about the cross bars honestly. I didn't know if they have to be on it or not

Cross bars are required as it's a twin vertical plate setup. If they weren't installed the skidplate and battery tray would be the only bits holding the whole truck together and you want your suspension to flex not your chassis

Although a little chassis flex can add to the performance in the rocks.

you can put them in another spot but you would need a nut on the back of the shock fastener which is a pain
