Well I bought a set of Blue Hot Bodies Shocks off of Wrecker. I was reading in the threads about the new CC Sidewinder and realized I wanted it, then I was looking around on TCS and realized I wanted the Junfac Challenger beadlocks so after buying all this I decided I wanted to redo my truck so.... I used liquid Plummer to strip all the green and mother aluminum polish to get them nice and bling bling

So I just decided to redo my whole truck.

New mods are
Castle Creations Sidewinder (when it gets here)
Junfac Challenger Beadlocks (when they get here)
Hot Bodies Anodized blue Shocks
Polished links

I think it looks a lot better than the pearl white, I just cant wait to get my new ESC and Rims

The new beadlocks

Old Truck

What do you think? And suggestions on stickers or things like that?

Liked the white better, no one else had one that I remember see'ing around

Trimmy · 01-31-2008, 07:18 PM

I dont know. I guess it was just to bright or something I just didn't like it.

sloyota · 01-31-2008, 08:18 PM

i think they both look good.those edge chassis are to good.
i love mine..

quick question, what size files do you need to post photo's on this site.

Trimmy · 01-31-2008, 08:27 PM

I just upload onto Photobucket.com and use the codes they give for my pics.

mauromj · 01-31-2008, 08:38 PM

I like the old one

Trimmy · 02-01-2008, 07:28 AM

Thanks for the comments

I dont like the Edge chassis. To simple, and to much panel on the side.

Thanks...I give it a try.Ive been wanting to post photo's of my edge/ax10

Trimmy · 02-01-2008, 09:38 AM

I love my Edge but there is to much side panel!!! Someone was talking about cutting a 1/2" out of the side to lift the bottom up and I think it's a good idea and I would love to do it but I just dont have the tools.

Jester666 · 02-01-2008, 03:09 PM

i like both looks, but plain black is kinda boring. You should stick a skull and cross bones on it and call it that Black Pearl.

Sweet idea I never even thought of that now I just need to figure out where to get it and how to get it lol.

You could boat side it. Give alot more clearance and looks very good.

I can find a pic if you need and not know what I mean. \__/

GH Racing · 02-01-2008, 06:53 PM

I think White will look better

SaVaGe MaN SS · 02-01-2008, 06:55 PM

are those tires soft at all? im in the market for some new tires

Trimmy · 02-01-2008, 08:35 PM

Ya I know what your saying on boat siding it. Thats a good idea I think I need to get a peice of delrin and try a narrowed skid and bend the sides in to meet the skid. Good idea.

As for the tires they are a lot softer than my axial rock lizards. I had to trim a little off of the treads (in tire section as a lil experiment Rock Crushers) to get them to bite better and star cut the rear foams and they are awesome now. I didn't want to go with the losi rock claws or whatever there called because I didn't like the way the look and everyone has them so I wanted to be diffrent and went with these and without running the losi's I cant say there better but I wont be switching tires any time soon.

To each his own. I like the edge chassis because being new to crawling, I like to see every part of the chassis during articulation. It turns me on.

Just kidding but really I haven't ever run mine with a body on (can't bring myself to cover it up) I would already have my edge if they weren't still on pre-order...

Trimmy · 02-01-2008, 09:39 PM

Just from switching from the axial to the edge chassis I noticed a huge diffrence in the trucks ability to crawl. I will never leave my Edge lol.

Trimmy · 02-02-2008, 08:59 AM

Well this is the design going on the side of Edge AKA The "Black Pearl" LOL
