|  my first scale attempt
well it started as a ax10rtc i up graded the links and steering  didnt take long before it just wasnt as fun as i planned so i started thinking what to do to make it faster started changing the gearing its now at a 21/81 combo but still not fast enough! i bought a xtrail and some rc4wd 90 mm coilovers   i got some 1.9 axial take offs! tossed them on and bought a honcho skid plate today to get some triangulation   every couple of weeks i try to buy another piece to the puzzel shooting to turn this into a jeep xj to copy my old 90 cherokee http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u...p/IMG_0002.jpg |

took the truck out today and hit 3 parks on my way home from work! had to test the new servo (hs 645mg) what a great up grade! found a guy to build my light bar so soon it wil be body light bar leds and bumpers to build.... might make it a bit faster though... the 55turn isnt fast enough!     |

after looking at my pictures from my excursions yesterday i decided the body was way to high! so i moved the battery a bit back so i could lower the body i lowered the body so at full flex the tires almost rub the front then lowered the rear the same amount. ended up being over 1/2 inch. after lowering it the rear rubs terribly at the rear of the wheel well i need to shorten the axial links ide prefer straight links in the rear rather than the bent ones but cant afford anything really right now. i love the new look trimmed the bed a little as well to get a more pre-runner look. and removed a bunch of stickers that were on the body. oh ya pictures!    whats everyone think? |
