| Old Blue. Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda. Aka. Bubbles
So Old blue has transformed from a 4.2" tire truck, stock looking rig. to a lifted 4.75" tire rig. And now the story continues with 5.4" tires. And the reason being... I blame fully... Hold My Beer! (HLDMYBR) and his 69 Ford Bronco Last edited by lonleycreeper; 04-10-2018 at 09:13 AM. |

The initial build thread. Old Blue (Memory Lane Build) And how I solved the issue of the massive tires rubbing. 70mm coil overs installed on the frame. Replacing the stock scx10 shocks. The rear rubs the fenders lightly, so i will install fuel tubing to limit the travel a little. Last edited by lonleycreeper; 01-30-2018 at 01:18 PM. |

I installed a new exhaust... And had to test it out I ran for 20 minutes, or so. Chasing the dogs, blasting through the ice and lumps of snow in the field, and blowing through the weeds... I still don't know what to do for a front bumper, everything I put tight against the body the tires rub hard, and much past that my approach angle is messed up Last edited by lonleycreeper; 02-04-2018 at 04:11 PM. |

Made another front bumper... 2.2 tire worthy I think... Now, paint it orange? Black? or leave it natural? |

If a lug snags the corner of that new bumper it could possibly tear it. Just saying. Orange or black. |

Hate to be the odd man out, but paint it the same color as the body for that monochrome look

I made a new rear bumper, very simple, classic 80's style. moved the front bumper up... And clearance for those pesky tires... Good approach angles? | |

Mounted up a Rc4wd 2 speed, mostly after the low speed control of the 5:1 low gear, coupled with the big horsepower of the brushless she should have the best of both worlds, mud slinging high gear and lots of control in low. Pardon the dirty chassis. |

Took her for a test drive after setting up the shift servo, and... Omg! I think I am in love. I did not have the control to climb the stairs at my house, but do now. And the top speed is impressive, 15ish mph, maybe 20, just guessing here, but as fast as I can run... Needless to say, very happy with the results. |
