Thanks , I thought I put an exo front on there ?...... I'd better check my build thread cos this rig needs something that's too wide and won't steer !

Still a few scale bits to make, the interior and the skins to get made up. I think I need a bit of work on the the spring setup too.

Very cool man. Looks good.

Did you take it over any sweet jumps?

[northkona]

No jumps yet, didnt want to ding up the panels before I get the skins made up ! It'll happen tho .

[northkona]

I picked up my skins today, they did an awesome job (thanks Bernard)
and I had to get some 2.2 treps to try out, they look pretty damn sweet on the rig , hopefully I'll get the skins mounted up over the weekend and then its time for a heap of pics.

This is the video I am using to get details from, I prefer the LED's to the KC lights he was running, much cleaner lines .

Thanks man , I'm really loving this build , Its gonna be a shame to beat on it !

[tuner]

I like it! It's nice to see a builder take pictures of the raw chassis while it's being made. It shows the building process in a better prospective and it makes the before and after pics look sweet.

Thanks, I don't spend as much time making the chassis and tabs looking pretty as I know I'm going to cover it up with panels, that's something I might work on with my next build.
I did just buy another RX8 / Pro4 combo so I guess I'd better start thinking of my next truck, I'm pretty well stuck on the Ultra 4's, they are the ultimate off road weapon. I was thinking of doing a live front axle (Boring !) Tom Wayes rig , the guy drives like a maniac and kicks arse while doing it.
