With the exo-cage and all the stuff I have added this truck is pretty much bullet proof. I take it off sweet jumps, dives or whatever. Only thing I have broken is an axial trans output shaft and one of the body posts threads have stripped out, easily fixed though. It weighs about 7.5lbs. I set it up to keep all the electronics up front for good climbing. But when you add the weight of the cab/exo-cage it gets tippy. Thanks, I just rebuilt it with my touches. SuperBoy did all that cage work. The yota body is in there too. I'll have to cut out the back cab peice if I ever need to separate the cab from the cage again. Yeap, Tekin Fx-R with Handwound 35T makes it pretty quick with great wheelspeed. Thanks bud. Last edited by Szczerba; 11-17-2009 at 09:26 AM. |

How you like those Rok Locs? I really really wanna try a set out, could use the extra height! If you dont mind and have the info available, what do your wheel/tire combos weigh? Matt |

I run the stock foams too (with vent holes in tires). Since the truck is kinda heavy @ 7.5lbs, the foams work fine without any mods. No weights, all the same setup. I can pull one off tonight and weigh it. | |

In Going Up! 's original thread for this truck, several months ago, he mentioned it was "out for cage work". Never did state who did the work, so I just figured he did. He never said, "yeah, I did the metal work". I put your name in this thread for credit for the cage. You did a good job, it's really solid and isn't going to break or bend. It gets complements everywhere I take it. | |

you might try some lead weights down low,where you got the boat sides. i put some on my fj as low as possible,it helped, but shes still a pig. i love the looks of it. |

Very nice! The realistic exo, tires, and windows make this truck look awesome. One of the best I've seen IMO.

Damn, I was wishing earlier that I would have done and exo on mine. I might have to build one now. How is it mounted? That was my biggest issue :-/

| Thanks. I don't get to run it alot with cameras around cause I am usually 2.2 compin' and we don't run scalers a ton. I have been expanding my home rockpile for more of a scale setup. Definitely the RoxLox are a great tire. Quote:

Just under the back of the doors, two aluminum posts to the side of the chassis. Here is Going Up!'s first post to this build. My Dovetailed Yota Truggy Build Last picture shows one of the cab mounts to the side of the frame. Then the cage was build by SuperBoy around the cab and it's mounted position. It works good, even with the weight of the cage. So, only three mounting points. One post threads' is getting stripped and I need to replace it. | ||
