So far..        shell    This is how it sits right now.. in the next few days i will be doing all bar work, interia and Hopefully my eletrics will arive soon so it can have its first drive!! getting pretty excited!

Will you be putting leaf springs on? And let's see the 1:1. Looks like a good start  |

Some more done i think i need to take around 5mm or so out of the ride height but happy other than that! and it will proberbly sag a fair bit with inside, eletrics etc, the springs are very soft! still not sure how i am going to actualy mount the shell... so any ideas would be great? i wont be using any body pins tho.    |

Well you could try earth magnets in a few seperate places that would center the body...or velcro. On a side note what is the tire size is on the 1:1? They look like 31's or 33's.

my zook runs 31x10.5 r15 tsl swampers  OK i ended up with a small Velcro mount.. and it works a champ! the truck had its first drive today and i have to say it well outperformed what i thought it would do!! it is out driving my last truck that was longer wider etc.. and all with a $25 speedy/motor combo and a $15 radio the tires hook up very well 2!! the truck still needs the usual tuneing.. battery was just strapped to rear of chassis etc... and a little more weight in front wheels will make the world of difference. i will try make a vid tomorrow |

ok a fair bit more done... inside is nearly done bar painting, glueing and adding steering wheel and gear sticks.. my first go at plastic work so dont be to harsh! i have also droped 13mm out of ride height.. it is now 100% droop.. it looks very scale at this and i have also evened up the suspention the front travels as much and at the same rate as the rear now! very happy! i also put some headlights in for a temp fix! as i was sick of the bare look! i bought some new 800mah lipos that will fit very nice in the back between the chassis rails 2... anyways Pics       |

thanks for the comments some pics from comp a few weeks back.. sorry bit late i have been flat out...       the truck performed well for a 3rd i think??? i have re weighted the front and the more i drive the truck the better the tires are... the front diff needs shimming quite bad atm but that will be done in time for next comp! |
