TLT axles locked with bearings.
Chassis MFM
R2D
High lift rims and tires

Still unsure about a lot of things for this build a lot depends on the chassis I will use.

Nice D90. Good job on the bed...I want to do the same to mine. What did u use to make the bed? Is it styrene? Looks more rigid than styrene.

Thanks for that. I'm def. gonna invest in some. Looks like it'll work really wel!

i picked up some white at walmart the other day for under $3. i made a garage for my 1::25th trucks. haha

Wow this project has taken a back seat with nationals around the corner it is hard to spend any time and money on this thing. Anyone want to trade a scale chassis for a nitro 1/8 buggy it would help this D90 get off the ground?

Anyway this is a picture of what I am trying for.

Yea I have a bit of work to do

Where have you been missed you at the last few comps.

Only thing I have done is cut the top off, and a little more interior work.

I've been around (working). On the other hand I wasn't able to pull the ETRC site up so I had no idea what was going on. I haven't tried it in awhile.

clodstall · 09-06-2007, 11:36 AM

dznutz · 09-06-2007, 04:40 PM

tommyboy · 09-22-2007, 11:34 AM

Got the chassis looks like the R2d is the tranny of choice.
