I put the frog universals on mine and they chattered and clicked like crazy at full droop... So I put my stock dogbones back on and it's smooth as ever... they weren't too worn out...

Nice Wild One! With the red and yellow decals and metal damper stay and pipe body section it reminds me of a baby Gallop MK2. Wild One was such a great looking design from Tamiya. Awesome. Cheers, Alistair G. (Live_Steam_Mad)

Do you have just the frog dogbone upgrade? Perhaps those work a little better than the universals...

Hey man, you know your lower tranny mount is upside down? I put a steel one from a FAV in my W1 and its' much stronger/straighter than the aluminum one...

Nice example...I recently fell in love with these because of their scale looks and am seriously considering trading/selling my vintage Fox so I can get one.
