Sweet rig man. I like how you took advantage of the cage work and ran your shock mounts up high allowing for those tall shocks

Well guys I ran it for the first time and I took a hard tumble and broke both windshield pillers so while I'm on the hunt for a body this is what I came up with for the meantime

Mine now I'm having John re-powdercoat it before sending it, so it's going to be a little while before he sends it out. Not going to change much, just a wheel and tire swap, and upgrade the drivetrain. Will update with progress!

It's in need of a little TLC, hopefully I can make it all work.

Exclamation The REBIRTH of Licorice

After a very easy trade, Licorice made its way into my hands and its final home. I will be putting a good bit of effort into this thing to make it a very good performer.

Being passed through so many homes and tools, needless to say, it needed a MAJOR overhaul. Axial wood thread and American thread screws were holding together everything, even the axles.

I'm very bummed because I missed out on a Nikko Ford F150 body on eBay, but I'm still on the search until it totally runs dry. Then, It'll probably turn into a KOH inspired Tundra with cab modifications.

Things to do:

-Rebuild Axial Transmission
-Locked Up RC goodies (lots)
-Built AR60s as well as narrowed
-Fix interior cage
-And other goodies that you'll have to wait for

Here is how today went, 20 minutes out of the box. Totally and completely setup wrong.





Charlie was confused by the links...



Mostly everything that was junked.




Narrowed AR60s

It was setup that way out of the shipping box. It has since been set up the correct way with all new links.

I took out ~.500" total from the axle housing. However, I didn't get the overall length after the cut. I will do that tomorrow for you.
