Default PFB's 2.2 Trophy Beast

Been collecting some parts to build a Beast for U4 2.2 Trophy. Looking forward to racing locally and visiting the Socal jerks when I can make it out there from time to time. (Well overdue I know)



Anyone know the correct tie rod length for these axles? Both the Incision and VP Titanium are too short. Maybe I'll just run the zero ackermann knuckles to make them fit?

Build list:
RC Fab Works Beast Chassis
VP F9 Currie Axles
-Front VP VXD Axles & Locker / Axial HD Stock Gear / VP C-Hubs / Dlux modded Wraith Knuckles
-Incision Rear Locker / VP Shafts / Axial HD Underdrive Gears
Supershafty 6mm Output Trans
MIP Driveshafts
VP Trailing Arms
Hot Racing Sway Bars
Pro-Line Ultra Reservoir Shocks
Incision SS Links
Wheels - VP Method 105 / VP Method Roost / Locked Up Trailready HD
Tires - Pitbull Rock Beast II / Pitbull Growler / Ottsix Voodoo U4
Crawler Innovations 6.0 DD Foams
Locked Up RC Scale Hardware
Electronics - JR 8711HV Servo / Spektrum RX / Dynamite 3S / Tekin RX8 / Tekin Pro4 3300kv
The usual U4 scale doodads

I just use Jato ends and trim them to fit.

After drooling all over my computer screen from looking at all those parts there, my wallet started hurting! Looking forward to this build.

Yeah mine still hurts and I'm not even done yet. Still waiting on the chassis, shocks, and Motor/ESC.

Back at it!

To do list is getting shorter:
Ordered a pair of rear TLR 22 4.0 2WD shocks for the front end.
Need to make a spare tire mount to angle the tire up and away from the sway bar up-travel.
Mount Fuel cell, rear light bar, and radiator.
Build and install driveshafts.
Wire up ESC/Motor/RX/Lights.
Paint chassis & panels.
Race.
Win.

Designed a radiator mount and fuel cell mount that will work well. Driveshafts are installed and the driver tray is nice and solid-mounted too. Next I'll get the electronics in place and wired up.

Hi. I don't follow all the cwarler brands and vendors out there. Who makes that tube frame? Or is there a separate build thread for it?
