The new body looks good, what color and brand is the paint? How is the high speed handling with the droop set up? I haven't ran my Tracker yet but I wanna have some up travel.

Thanks, the paint is Olive Drab, its from testors. Its for military models, not for lexan, but it works. I run some soft internal springs from clicky pens to keep the piston from smacking the shock cap. So far I'm happy with this droop setup. Its ok at high speeds but crawls better than expected. I also took some brakeline, bent it over a dresser drawer and bolted it on the losi bumper as a stigner of sorts    | |

cool truck looks like it works well too. I am surprised that the thrashers work better than the flatirons, how is the wear?

IMO they work better than the flatirons wiith foam tuning, but wear down much faster. Each set of tires has an equal amount of drive time on this rig, so the thrasners tread will be long gone ( i assume ) before the flatirons give out. The tomahawks are OK compared to the irons or thrashers. | |

I wasn't sure about the cutting of the back. But with that cage work it looks awesome. Very nice job.  This thing just keeps getting better.

That rig looks sick!!! I love the scale look of it. Makes me want to get a 1.9 and do a scale rig. We have some scale accessiores that would work great on that rig!!! -Jason |

What's your width to the oustide of the tires? I was thinking about a similar build with my Losi running gear, just wondering if I'll have the wheels far enough out to look right with the widners or not.

The stock losi MRC has a perfect GEO/suzuki OEM track width on this body, using wideners may stick out too far. It sits just right in the fenders not to far in not to far out, so at that point you can always use these on the MRC http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXNMR8&P=7 they widen it up marginaly. You have a good start with that drivetrain with this body they seem to match up pretty well. as far as mine goes its gone from red streetable rig to the green truggy monster, so any resemblence of GEO/suzuki OEM is gone. I will get the tape measure out tommorrow. Last edited by salmonfacesalad; 04-25-2009 at 09:17 PM. | |

You have got to hold the record for most number of different wheel and tire configurations run on one truck...  |
