Default 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?

I used the extra blocks that cmae with the kit. The ones that give you more caster of you want it. I just stacked them under the stock ones.
