[waterboij23]

New dh fab front and rear bumpers and jeep body arrived today. Now its time to get this body painted and ready for next weekend.

[larimorej]

get to work

[craddock35]

My body is on the way. Which jeep body did you get? I ordered the Wrangler Unlimited for mine. I also finally got some scales to weigh stuff and now know why my last body was so top heavy I knew it was heavy but had no idea it weighed just over 2 pounds. That is crazy heavy for top weight.

I ordered the unlimited body because i have the honcho so the wheel base is just right for that body style. I will try to get some pics up this weekend. Hopefully I can get a lot done. The fiance is going out of town and a three day weekend. I should be able to accomplish a lot.

We are having a scale trail run this Sat in Hoover not far from you at Moss Rock. There will be a few people out there and it is one of the best spots around close to you. There are several other areas just depends on how far you want to drive. If you need directions I think they are in this thread already but if you can't find them lmk I will post up the link to the directions.

is it top heavy ? looks good

[Hulldiver]

looks like a brick on wheels. HA. I think its awesome.

[waterboij23]

Thanks John! I may have to trade a few parts between the rigs now. ha. It isn't to top heavy at all. Actually the COG is pretty low and the body is very very light. The only thing I want to do asap is add some weight to the tires. As of right now there is no weight in them. Also I got a Lipo with it. So I ordered a Thunder AC6 charger and Sky Lipo 4400mAh 7.4V 30C and Lipo bag.

[waterboij23]

and it is Orange like the first pic. The second pic is red for some reason.

[larimorej]

[waterboij23]

yes I am definitely going. I wont be in the comp But I want to test the new rig out and see what a comp is all about. What time will you be there?


Also I bought a Castle LInk!!! Figured i would eventually need me one.
