|  k2-5 K5 Blazer
got to start on my K5, iv seen alot of killer ones on here an it made me want to build one. This is my first 1.9er. I wanted something a little smaller so the K5 was born specs- k2-5 Reign chassis axial trans 55t motor tlt axles tlt shocks CAC slot mags trail dr xl's w/ RPP conformer rooster crawler hitec rx, tx hitec 5645 servo batteries??? i'm not sure. i would love to run lipo, but the truck is light how it is. So I may go with a stick pack or a 7 cell saddle to give some weight    i used an axial battery mount to mount the electronics, and the bottom half of a tlt chassis for the shock towers    items left- weld a tube bumper and rear tire carrier mount the body??? finsh the body and get some drive shafts |

nice. why did you mount the rear upper links differently to the mounting plate at the axle, one on top, the other on bottom? |

Nice looking truck bro!! What is your WB at with it set up like that?? Im getting ready to start a Blazer build with MRC axles and I was gonna use the Flatirons I have but after seeing yours Im not sure there gonna fit in the wheel wells like I wanted. Also do you have wideners on your TLT's in the pics??? And one more favor please ...could you measure the width of the body alone??Thanks..and again nice looking rig!! Jon | |

Ill get up some pics, later today though.. I can tell ya the axles DO NOT have wideners on them. With CAC wheels you can flip the hubs to give it a wide or narrow stance.. so Iv got the flipped for wider cause I feel a scale full chevy size trail truck should have the dana 60 14 bolt look | |
