 Actually I got the tranny mount made, tranny mounted, link mounts made, mockup links are on. Just trying to get everything where I want it then i'll make the real links. Also rebuilt the ts70 servo/winch, funny how the gears are the same hitec 645 ones. Think thats it, Been messing around with the Hulk tuber so I can get that back together. | |

Tech, not chit chat ladies Anyways, progress is slow on this truck. But I got a chance to work on it the other day and have some more pics. Got all the links made, ended up just mounting the lowers to the side of the frame, uppers just to the tranny mount. driveshafts are on, made a guide for the winch (fairlead). Just need to make a drum for the servo. Think im just about all done for the mockup, then i'll send the frame out to be powdercoated. Need to get some tlt shocks turned down aswell. pics |

Lookin' good. The front bumper/stinger looks great with that bod. I almost mounted my tranny like that, but decided to go in a different direction. |

GC: 3 1/8 WB: 12.5 WT: 10 1/4 Then with the body on its right at 9" tall Body mounting is another thing I dont know yet, I like just using body post's through the hood, and rear. Looks like crap but it makes the truck usable, and not a pain in the *** to swap batts. But I think i'm going to try velcro somehow on this one. | |
