The Blazer looks even sicker than before Brandon.

The XL's fit the look perfect.
More info on the wheels please, I don't recognize them.

Thanks Chris. I agree on the XL's, I wasnt sure at first but they ended up looking great on the blazer.

The wheels are hpi stock car wheels, I drilled out the slots and added TSS rock rings. The wheels got a coat of Tamiya silver paint too.

After I posted, I had a feeling you were going to say that. Nice work.

I had to sell it. Unfortunately I had to get out of the hobby. Sorta... Theres possibly a hardbody blazer in the not so distant future.

tacomaguy101 · 06-01-2008, 09:16 PM

sick body where did you get those seats

Brandon · 08-08-2008, 11:08 AM

Time for some updates.

As it sets at the beginning of last night.

Brandon · 08-08-2008, 11:17 AM

What a set of Trail Doctors look like after a little use

Grizzly4x4 · 08-08-2008, 11:29 AM

You should rotate your tires more often B.

That little "hoop" left from the side lugs is fawking funny.

Poor thing has been rode hard and put away wet for sure, is this the start of the rebuild thread?

Yeah no kidding! Who would have known that an 8 hour trail ride at the bean would require rotating your tires half way through

It also means I will need to run the same amount of weight front and rear if I am going to do a full rotation. The front tires dont look as bad. I just noticed that hoop as well

Say hello to the rebuild!! Needs some updates before Moab.

MrDublin · 08-08-2008, 11:56 AM

Just found this thread and read the whole thing.

That rig is awesome and will give me a lot of ideas for my first scale build. I just bought a K2-4 frame myself, haven't even gotten it yet.

This really increase my list of things I could do. I guess I should start by figuring out what it's going to be.

Looking forward to the latest rebuild.

Brandon · 08-08-2008, 04:22 PM

Some new parts:

RC4WD 90mm shocks. These are awesome, and after some tweaking of the piston they work extremely well. TLT springs fit (silver) and so do mini t springs (red). Both feel great, not sure which I am going to run yet. It might just come down to color

Im being told the red is just too much and the silver looks much better, some like the red. Opinions?

Cleaned up the axles and chassis with the electronics removed

Uh ohh.... Thanks Chino for the replica grill, its going to completely change the look of this rig

Glad I could help! You will love the K2-4. It is a builders chassis and requires a lot of figuring on your own, but it makes it that much nicer.

Thank you!

Grizzly4x4 · 08-08-2008, 04:55 PM

I like silver better I think...... :?

bent · 08-08-2008, 10:30 PM

Man that is a nice truck I really like it. Especially the bumper you had in the pics on the intial build.

Couple questions though...........
1: Where did you get that replaca grille I want one for Jake!

2: What happened to th rear bumper/antenne you had in the dune pics (killer pics by the way) I if you are willing to part may be interested in it.

Keep up the great work cant wait to see this one done again.

PaulEZK · 08-09-2008, 02:51 AM

Looking great still. The trail doctors wore is funny.. :-)

Thanks! Not sure where Chino got the grill, sorry :-( I would be happy to sell you the old rear bumper but it is cracked and the antenna is bent up really bad

Thanks

Good to see you come around still.

Ok, front shocks mounted, along with new lower links. First pic you can see the difference in shock length. I hope I have time to make some new shock hoops up front!

The more I look at this link mount plate, the more I hate it! Something needs to change there as well.

Rear axle:
