mtmayhem · 07-10-2011, 05:16 PM

Looks good man do u like the Boyer truggy.... I've got one an does petty good but I keep breaking my front end

Jeykito · 07-10-2011, 06:35 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. Means a lot.

I just got this though. Haven't run it yet. What do you mean keep breaking your front end? Also what are your lengths for your upper and lower links? I've got some minor issues to deal with but so far it's been a blast!!

mtmayhem · 07-11-2011, 10:32 AM

I do love the truck its very versitile I've got all my weel base Spread out it krawls a lot better an I put a new front axle on her and just wore the pinion geer out of it

Jeykito · 07-15-2011, 12:37 PM

do you have a build thread? would love to see your boyer.

Anyways, since I suck with body and styrene work, I've asked for help from Richard at offthegridrc for a gen 2 yota. He's Awesome to work with and very fast! Here's what he came up with.

Thanks Noob!!

Thank you. the mounted pics are of a different body, I'll have to fix that though. Thanks for commenting guys!! means a lot.

I dont have a three up yet I will tho.... Just been practicing on my styrene work... My dash looks way to sloppy to post on here ha.

Jeykito · 08-17-2011, 06:00 AM

It's been a while since I last posted pics here but while doing the paint job on the yota I got to thinking that it looked kinda odd. Are the yota's grills black with silver lining? I wasn't sure so I just wanted to check. Hope you guys can help me out.

Here's a pic of the front with the black grill on it.

Rest of pics. Still need to do the interior and more to add.

Nice body work! Looks great

akguanja · 08-17-2011, 12:46 PM

SICK Styrene work on that body, the front bumper seems to be sticking out too far from the front of the cab thoe imho.

is there any way to cut down the frame and move it back or slide the bumper back more??

Jeykito · 08-17-2011, 02:07 PM

Thanks

I cut the frame about 1/2" already, but the chassis bends up after that so it would be hard to attach the bumper, I don't have any equipment yet so i'm holding off on going further with it. suggestions anyone?

is the tubework welded to the frame? if not maybe you could move the rear section forward on the frame so the body and rear tubework move forward to the bumper. i had to do that on my akyota build.

also it looks like you still have 1 hole on the bumper you could move it back, am i wrong?

Nope you're right but the hole ends are where the top plate posts are welded to the mounts. But you're right, let me try taking off some of that material. Thanks!! Sometimes I think too much when it's right there staring at you.

Thanks!!

Jeykito · 08-17-2011, 02:24 PM

By the way, should i paint the front grill to be body color? Or is black ok?
