Im so gonna get her scratched up tomorrow!!!! Yah baby Yah! Also check the motorworxracing.com wheels out! The axial slide on plastic hubs fit perfect! Awesome wheel now I got hubs!   |

Took her out this evening! Shes a bit heavy for the stock foams. Someone chime in and let me know what foams to get for these Roklox to stiffin em up a bit. Other than that I think she is gonna be quite nice. Now I need to install my Gunner tubes and over drive and under drive gears! I got 4ws and really dont neeem but I cant use 4ws in my local club. Heres some pics.   |

For the RokLox I like to run the NWTT All Weather Reach with a 1/4" thick slice of standard foam on the outer sidewall. I think it would look better with those inner fenderwells painted flat black. |

Thanks for the info! I agree on the inner fender being black. Next time I rebuild the fenders Ill do black. Red makes it look nonscalish! |

| first comp!
Nothin broke but she aint purdy anymore. Scratches and dings add character!!! I even to a run at the first 2.2 course and done better than on the scale courses,lol. I timed out on last gate. Anyway it handles well and pulled off stuff I didnt think a scaler could. Shes about a ten pounder and trust me the 6 pound scx10 are hard to beat especialy when Beaty is drivin. Beaty is an awesome driver and whoops up on me monthly with his 1.9 scx10 no matter what I build.!!! I cant use my 4ws ofcourse during our scale comps cause there is only 2 class 3 rigs and the rest are class 1 and 2's. but to the point, ITS DAMN FUN!

Its 3/16 brake line. I use a cheap tube bender to bend them but I will admit, some bends can be achieved quite well with a vise!!!

I mig with gas. This is welded only. Before this rig I spot welded then went back and brazed. Welding aint as clean for me cause I just started but man is it faster and tough as hell! Thanks for checkin out my thread! |
