[klaygrover]

I got this project from Ross here on the forum , I decided to try and do all the work my self. It will be a class 2 rig. It will have a full interior.
parts list.

ax10 axles
stainless beef tubes
over and under drive gears
all the vp goodies
losi drive lines
stock axial trans "for now"
HH 7t puller
rc4wd shocks

Thats it for now there will be more soon , I have been doing this on our local forum so I am most the way through the build. Here are some pics let me know what you think.


This is how i got it.




This is what I have done to it.

Awesome jeep, I wanted that soo bad, just couldnt come up with the funds, definately watching and going to take some concepts to my own when I build it.

Looks good - I see some small details in your metal work I am going to have to use.

Cool, thanks

Just like the rest, I"m liking it! Nice fab work. Sharp little ideas!

[ROSS]

love the tube work youve added.
if i had the tools, i would have done some myself. the boat sides were something it definitely needed.
cant wait to see how it comes out

Very nice work, very clean!

Are you happy with the RC4WD shocks? I have some that are kind of sticky...

I think they are sticky , I was going to give them a try to see if they free up. Other wise I will need to find a different solution. Any ideas, what are some good options.

I like it! I contemplated doing a C-notch for the panhard on the front but didn't go ahead with it. Might have to after seeing it done, great work.

thanks it was easier than i thought it would be.

[klaygrover]

so the mail man brought some more goodies today.

Blue Monkey knuckle weights and rear weights and a super tuner kit.

and they have crazy fast shipping ordered on Friday here on Monday

[jthellfire911]

So I'm thinking that you should just give this rig to me when its done. Kramer is getting jealous. I might need your help to c notch my front frame for my drag link lol. Unless we can get a titanium one to work better. Lol

Here is a thread with some good info on how to make these shocks work better.
The stickiness issue is addressed from post 13 on down.
