|  Updates, Finally
Well I have finished school for the semester, my full time job has slowed down and it is a bit chilly to e building a deck, so my truck has gotten more attention lately. I compiled a bunch of links and was able to mock something up that fit perfectly. Here are some pics, sorry they are from my phone. I currently have it sitting on bottomed out 110mm dual spring RC4WD shocks, I think I will end up going with either, 100mm dual spring, 100mm super scale or 90mm G-transition. Which ever one I go with they will be converted to internal springs if they aren't already and will be set up with a lot of droop. Let me know what you think. -Andrew Miller |

I don't, I lost all the data on my thumb drive. There are some on the previous pages, but I don't have anything else. What are you looking for? I might be able to snap a few this weekend.

Here are the future plans. Winches front and rear just need to mount them. The tranny is under the hood, going to be putting the batteries, receiver and possibly esc in the extended cab. I plan on a scale radiator and hacked up F350 grill with 2 lights in it. In the rear a fuel cell and a tray of batteries. The windshield and the front windows will be clear, the rear window and extended cab windows will be tinted. | |

I will take some pics tomorrow without the body and from different angles to show the axles. Haven't run them yet so I can't say they were worth the $$$, but heck if they don't look mean under there. -Andrew Miller |

I can't believe how awesome this rig looks. I wish I had 1 tenth of the talent you do when it comes to building. I'm struggling to build front bumper that I'm happy with and you turn our something like this.

If you dont care double check the hex to hex measurement on those. Rc4wd says it is 8in.

The first photo shows the ride height if it had 90mm shocks in there. The second is it bottomed out on the 110's. I really like the look of the RC4WD dual spring shocks, but will have to hunt for some springs that I can make a drop set up with and even then they are too long so I will have to down size. The next picks shows how wide the rig is with the tires. Roughly 10.5". Next is the hex to hex measurement. I would say 8" is generous, it is just about 7-3/4". The last two pics show the truck from each end with the body on. I think the width fits this rig well, but I could see wanting something a bit wider. These are just the mock up links so the axles aren't completely square but you get the idea. Thanks for all the compliments. -Andrew Miller |

Thanks, thats all Chris (Ecoli). I built the body and he built the cage based on those dimensions and it came out perfect. I got my completed machined links and am waiting on a shipment from RC4WD so I can assemble them all. I am also starting to plan out the final body work. Updates should be coming soon. Hopefully early next week. -Andrew Miller |
