maybe you need to use real sheet metal for the body armor this time, lol...

Andydrift · 10-19-2008, 08:51 AM

On the XC Chassis underneath how did you get them red? Paint them? but they dont look to be scratched either? Or are they after market parts?

RCtweakR · 10-20-2008, 04:51 AM

I have a question for you, as you stated that
"I set it up as a partial droop by cutting the inner springs a bit."
How much did you cut the springs out? Thanks
Very nice built as always.

SUPER RARE red trailing arms from Old Newfoundland. Only one set in the world. J/K dark red paint that is it. I just did it to have the arms stand out a bit. They did get pretty scratched up after use though.

I cut about 1/4 of the spring and that gave it a good ride height. With the full spring the Jeep was all jacked up in the back like on a camaro in the 80's. The shorter springs gave it a nice stance with some spring action and the benefit of full droop travel.

Thanx.. Looks like a cracking build too btw!

RCtweakR · 10-20-2008, 10:14 PM

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but I know a few of you were looking for the yj body. Rumor has it this will be on the new CR-01, so I would assume this body will be released at some point http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ite...oduct-id=58429
