I was going to do a build thread but there are so many that I just went ahead and built. It doesn't have a esc or receiver installed yet. I cut some kydex and will have them mounted to that. Here are the pictures comments or questions just post or pm.

ColquittCustom405 · 08-13-2006, 07:19 PM

looks great. especially with the smaller tires. is that a BB-51 frame?

slugzracing · 08-13-2006, 07:52 PM

Now that is the way shackles are supposed to work! very well done

axelnut1 · 08-13-2006, 07:53 PM

Yes it will have shocks on the rear.
As far as the spring mounts I used a small pc. of metal(actually a bar you use to make your own battery packs.) and drilled a hole in it and bent the other end to fit tight over the spring. I will include a drawing because I don't think I could get a clear enough picture. I drilled the bottom of the frame and tapped it 3mm to mount the pc. I made. Hope this helps. I will see about a picture in a day or two.

axelnut1 · 08-13-2006, 07:57 PM

Yes it is the bb-51. Very nice chassis and easy to build with.

octigonwallrus · 08-13-2006, 09:17 PM

cool thank you very much. i think i got it. do you by any chance have the part number or exactly what there called for the part you used to make the brakets. looks really scale with the smaller tires.
thanks

slobin3d · 08-13-2006, 09:46 PM

CRAWLERLIFEFORME · 08-13-2006, 09:54 PM

peej410 · 08-13-2006, 10:04 PM

Unimoger · 08-13-2006, 10:06 PM

Very nice job on the build, the leafs look killer and the flex is superb. Keep up the good work.

XSRCdesign · 08-13-2006, 10:50 PM

R/C_rock_rebel · 08-13-2006, 11:00 PM

peej410 · 08-13-2006, 11:28 PM

i like the pink springs, it says that your in touch with your feminine side

1BadJeepBruiser · 08-14-2006, 08:33 AM

Looks good man, I like the leaves on the back. Its flexing pretty damn good too! I also like the front spring mounts, nice and simple.
