I love watching this come together, man! Regarding the Boom Racing ProBuilds - the shipping costs from Atees to the US ain't too bad. I ordered a set of new faceplates, hubs, some MST rally tires (for a sweet set of near-vintage HPI Cup wheels I snagged on eBay!) and they threw in a couple scale traffic cones (I'm building up a collection, lolz) and the shipping cost ended up being around $10 for Express Airmail Saver (7-16 Business Days)... They even sent me a pic of my order all gathered up and ready to box! Pretty stoked for their arrival - I hadn't even assembled the set I have, but when I saw the new matte silver "Jelly Bean" slot mag faceplates I absolutely had to get 'em, and of course I needed 5-lug hubs to bolt them up. Now as long as I don't eff-up the plans I have for the special secret body! |

Great to hear about Atees and their shipping cost. Seems like a good deal at $10 to ship from overseas. I'll have to check out what they offer for face plates and other accessories. The Jelly Bean slot mags would be a cool old school look to have! Now I'm wondering what this "special secret body" is! | |

Small update. Finally was able to pick up the TGH Spur Locker. It's another hard-to-find item that is usually out-of-stock. Also picked up an Incision 56T spur gear to go with it. While I had the FMM out, I cut a piece of shrink wrap and installed it on the upper driveshaft to help keep it more stable since it is so short. |

Looking good Brian! I've gotta try one of them bare-bones trannies one day. |

I like the heat shrink on the driveshaft. Gonna have to give that a try myself. |

For those of you who have forgotten about this build, me included, I have an update! I was finally able to get my hands on a set of the Team Garage Hack TGH-HH H.O. V1.1 E.B.R. Edition Wheels for my GSpeed V1-C1 build. They are currently in stock in different colors and on sale. The V1 wheels are being replaced with a V2 design. Back when I first started building this rig, I wanted the TGH wheels, but at the time they were really HOT and they were never in stock. So I went ahead and got the BoomRacing ProBuild wheels instead. Well today the TGH wheels get installed! Now that I have them in hand, they feel a lot lighter than I had imagined. In all of the pics I've seen of these wheels, they look to have some mass to them. Well they don't! They are light as a feather. Here are the weights unmounted and mounted. Also a pic of them mounted on the ProBuild wheels. Looks like the TGH alum wheels are identical in weight to the ProBuild wheels with the CF rings. And a few pics with the wheels installed. These wheels fit right around the portal boxes as close as they can without rubbing. Now that I have the wheels that I plan to run on this rig I can now tackle the job of heating and rolling the fenders to match the diameter of the tires. I've never done the heating and rolling before, but I did watch a YouTube video! We'll see how this goes! Hopefully I won't have to buy a new cab and bed! |

Good to see your back on this build! This truck is one of the inspirations for the v1c1 I’m working on. Have you tried putting a motor in this yet? I’m curious if you will run into the same front upper link issue I ran into. I’m running trx4 axles and had to move the front upper link to the outside of the chassis and axle mount. For class 1 I think you can get away with just mild trimming the fenders a little for tire clearance. The tire tread should still be half covered Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I love those wheels, and held off when I found a set recently. I wonder if that’s the same set… haha. They look right at home on this build.

I haven't decided on a motor or ESC yet. I may start off with a HW 1080 which means the motor will be a 540 size. I have already had to bend the upper front link to clear the FMM motor plate. Not sure yet if the link will clear with a motor installed. In the end I would like to see some sort of Revolver motor and possibly a Mamba Micro ESC. Quote:
Thank you much! | ||

Build is looking good! I suppose I should build one of these flat rail things sooner or later. |
