Looks like the light bar fits and is well protected.

As far as the hood, that's a good start.

Here's what I was going to do if you wanted me to make one for you, tighten up the dimensions a bit and use it as a buck to form a thin aluminum hood. Might take a few tries but would be sweet.;-)"thumbsup"

I still have plenty of time to mess this one up. This is actually try number two :ror: but I figured why not at least try it myself first..

Light bar worked out perfect, thanks again! might have to hit you up on the hood still we'll see, I used steel cause I could cut and weld it, I was afraid to use aluminum I would have to go so thin that it would get thrashed easy. I got away with using some substantial aluminum on the sides because they are simple bends..

If you find something let me know. I'm also in the market for a 550 30-35t.

Brushless would be sweet! 17.5t tekin with mamba max pro. That 17.5t would be close to 35t.

Fab work on the hood is done now.

time to move on to something else :twisted:

Looks great Andy!

Hell yeah! That turned out great! "thumbsup"

any of you guys have experience with the Hot racing dig?

Id love to use the Vanquish I have here, but the shift lever is to farking long to work :evil:

am I gonna grenade it? or is it a pretty decent unit? Honest opinions please. I know its a crapshoot with these things.

The metal panels look way better! I would go with the VP dig, just move the trans a bit to the passenger side and make it a 1 seater truck."thumbsup"

This rig can't get any better!"thumbsup"

It's total shit Andy. It binds like crazy. Just cut the arm shorter on the VP.

how short you think I can cut it and be ok?


Edit, now that I look at the one in the hybrid, I may be able to bend the arm and it still work....

maybe I'll order a spare arm or two just in case..

well you convinced me, ordered new hardened diff gear ( mine was the robinson with the built in outdrives ) and new driveshafts from TCS.

now I gotta fins someone with the dig in stock, I really don't want to rob the Hybrid. Email sent to Vanquish...

I smell wicked coming on. As if this couldnt get any better.

X2. I had to cut my arm shorter putting the VP dig in my Bastard Jr. Took about a 1/4" off the length, drilled at tapped a new hole. Works great."thumbsup"

looks like I'm 6 weeks out from seeing a VP dig..

might have to rob the Hybrid. :cry:

PM sent on the Dig!

And then...

Been pretty sick the past few weeks, hoping to get something done today.

Hit me up for a spare dig arm if you need it. Have an extra laying around you can have.

will do, hae a few ideas to try out first.. "thumbsup"
