Project 2.2: Ultra4 "The Yeti Hunter"

[TSK]

I like the rear sway bar and don't think you'll need one up front. Keep up the good work.

thanks! and now that i have driven it i dont want a front swaybar, i think the rear did the trick, the little mounts i made with gromets in them are holding up fantastic and everything moves nice and smooth but i got a box of goodies in today! time for a change of shoes!! The gold compound tires and the silver compound tires came today, going to cut the silvers like crawl-o-matic though so heres a pic.

goodbye lightbar that was all bent up, making a beefy one now,

[gunder463]

hellow new beef bar! this will be my first fab work on any chassis so if the welds are a tad sloppy gimme a break

[gunder463]

new shoes for the lil bastard,

[gunder463]

New light protection, its so solid i dont need rear supports lol, i might add them later but they will be made of sheet steel so they will hold the light bar as well as support the light bash bar, heres it with the light,

[gunder463]

woops blew up a pro4 new rotor on the way, it lasted a long time though, about 1 year haha

[gunder463]

just picked up a bunch of stuff, i got, 1 strc front shock tower, strc front castors, vanquish yeti knuckles in orange, vanquish rear lock outs in orange, more CI double duces for my silver comp Voodoos thinking about getting some orange and black methods from vp, they would really make the rig look great,

[gunder463]

Well, tearing down the front end for all the new parts coming in,

[gunder463]

Thanks to Wheels7 for this gem of an idea, ill be copying his setup almost exactly

[gunder463]

well got tired of waiting for parts so i threw it together and let her rip, first chake down and it was a sucsess, no breakage! preformed great needs the steering dialed in a tad but thats no big deal, so as im driving back in and forgetting i have voodoos on i go ahead and stomp the throttle, rip a nice wheelie then i hear the sound of a thousand bees, i stripped the bottom main gear in the tranny,lol the only plastic gear left since i just wanted to test it, haha well now im down till new parts heap gets here,

[gunder463]

thinking of dropping that 2 speed in this, would be killer,

[gunder463]

where the hell do i fit a shift servo?

[gunder463]

i found a spot,! hope i can make everything work, i think i have justt enough room,

[gunder463]

finally got her up and running , loving this vehicle, 2 speed tranny is great, love the option to chose high speed or putting around with part breaking power, once my front end parts come in shes "done" {are they ever truly done?} then i can work on scale BS and an interior but im thinking an exo interior will fit perfect.

[gunder463]

anyone have any input or cool ideas i could apply to this rig? looking for something to do,

[gunder463]

kinda wanna try a d44 on the rear, thatd be cool and match the scheme of it all, but we will see how things go.

[gunder463]

moar goodies.

[gunder463]

Getting dressed up and dialed in.

[gunder463]

been thinking, i want to take this thing down to bear metal again and paint it. but thats alot of work. also i dont really know what color id go with yet. Any suggestions? i want to make this chassis pop instead of hiding it in black like it is. just dont know what would look good on it.
