| Spots Tundra build
I just picked this up from RPP. I can't start building it until tomorrow. I haven't decided on power yet. As this is my first 3 speed, I don't know what motor esc to use. I was thinking of using the novak brushless crawler system. Will that work ok with the 3 speed??? The color will be very different from the builds you have seenso far!!!!! Just a pic of the box. |

I am using RockCrusher X/Ts so I need to lift something. I started with a body lift, but didn't like how it looked. I then did a suspention lift which I like a lot better. I also counter sunk the bolt heads on the axles. The body and rims are in primer and will be painted tomorrow. I will post pics of the painted body so everyone can see what color she will be.... |

The front bumper has 2 sets of mounting holes and couldn't be easier to raise. I did a suspension lift because the body lift looked like a horses a$$!! Nothing like looking right though the wheel wells and seeing daylight. | |

Hi, how did you made the body lift? Just with spacers under the leaf spring? I´m working on a HILUX High-Lift and don`t know if I should use a junfac Lift Kit? Greets ROBERT |
