Default I could care less about 1.9's until NOW...

Well I was really against these little rim and tire options. I have several sets of narrowed swampers from David (Xtreme Hobbies) and love them. Last set I asked for some 1.9 Mashers. Well I got them and mounted them up on a new MFM chassis setup I bought. I haven't run it yet as you can see. This weekend I will get a chance with some locals. I will post more then. On with the show. Oh this isn't a cheap paint job... Still less then a hardbody!

MFM Chassis
Revolver 2 motor
Mamba controller
JR 9000t servo
Hpi Stockcar wheels
Xtreme Hobbies Narrowed and Reduced Mashers
TLT axles locked with bearings
7 cell 2/3 A cell stick pack
Ford Courier body Painted by Zielke Racing (Ebay)













Had the body a little while huh? Found a new home though!

I like the truck overall, If it were mine, I would stretch the WB in the back just a tad, as it looks a lil off, and I would drop it down so it tucks to the 1.9s, then itll really be sweet

tires look AMAZING. beging for some mud. whats the height of them? BFG/hummers are 3.5, high lifts are 3.7
i agree. stretch the rear 1/2" and lower the body. most 1.9 rigs rub ;)

Don't tell anyone...the body isn't mounted yet. I just mocked it up last night. I squished down the suspension and it does look better sitting lower. Thanks for the advice.

Yes, thr tires look good. I'm wanting to get some for myself, but I was interested in seeing them on a rig first, thanks. Oh and the truck looks good too!

Ryan, can you take a picture of how the shocks are mounted on the axles? Depending on how they are mounted, and what ballends are on them, you might be able to drop the suspension enough to make it work Looks good though

welcome to the 1.9 crowd, i think its a little more challenging with 1.9s as opposed to 2.2s.

Oh the 1.9 fever is a bad one to catch. It seems like that's all I ever build now :-)

Love the rig. Your Masher 1.9's look great!

I'm diggin the use of the 350 parts for the radio gear setup. Very clean

Beat me to it... I like the use of the 350 radio tray.

Rig looks killer! I really like the paint work. somebody did an amazing job on the graphics! I agree with everyone else, it needs to be a tad bit lower.

Fast...your gonna get it! I will make sure it is a snap. You better be there for Sundays Scaler running.

To the rest...thank you very much. I have all the scale accessories but don't wanna wreck a clean simple look. Hey Mike, can I call it the "Simple Courier"? As for the radio tray I bought the chassis with the F350 on it. I can not take credit. However, I do also approve of the look so I left it...so far. I am going to make changes on Saturday. That's my work (rc) day. Any one else see any needs?

Yeah yeah yeah, I really like the looks of those 1.9 mashers. They seem wider than my narrowed 2.2 mashers

Awesome build. I love those tires, oh, and black and purple ROCK together!!! I like how you use the highlift tray for the electronics too, the nerf bars are a nice touch.
