Softer springs make this even better! Here's mine showing the kingpin travel

Really nice work! (and a beautiful photo!)

I myself just finished doing this mod on a MT chassis from the parts box and it's impressive how drilling out the chassis holes and PCB cover free up the suspension travel!

I've already found a supplier of the Athearn 84014 springs kit and I'll be ordering them tonight.

You better believe that this will now be a standard "must do" mod for all my MTs as soon as my springs arrive.

These are the kinds of mods I remember from a couple/few years ago.

Great stuff!
