Rogue · 11-18-2007, 04:55 PM

Looks really good. I like the look of the slammed betty body.

Unimoger · 11-18-2007, 05:05 PM

well, looks like RCP will get some more of my $, here is a pic after it's first 5 minutes on the rock pile at my shop.

I hate plastic

You should have put the tie rod under the knuckles and the drag link above it.;)

Looks great. Like the slammed body look.

xgerstandtx · 11-18-2007, 08:01 PM

wow i broke two of those today also at red rocks. ha time for rcp
but the slammed betty is great looking, really the only way that body looks good.

RivBlueNoma · 11-18-2007, 11:20 PM

Betty looks kinda of tired after getting slammed.

But its a good look.
Youll love the RCP knuckles, great quality and they give a little more steering, now the straight axles adapters on the other hand..........

Got any more pics of the Chevy truck that Betty is laying on?

toyofast · 11-19-2007, 02:06 AM

Eh.... it looks goofy all low like that Ben. Time to jack it up... if you make the December comp(?) it's going to be a wet one for sure.

renoirbud · 11-19-2007, 04:10 AM

hey Ben;

If you add RCP knuckles, does it still qualify for the spec class?

cato · 11-19-2007, 06:17 AM

Looks great....nice slam!! What was the hood it was sitting on connected to?

What problems have you found? I found with the stock axles the 1 bearing didn't support the axle stub enough and it ground some of the adapter. Since using their SS axle it is supported way better and no more aluminum grinding dust.

whjdm069 · 11-19-2007, 07:22 AM

love the look of the slammed body. very agressive. i was curous how does the rear axel function with the knuckles turned?

JUSTGOINGSLOW · 11-19-2007, 07:46 AM

I think I'm going to do the same thing with my betty. At lease till I get my bug body looks mean

Yes, according to our(ORCRC) rules it does.

DWALL · 11-19-2007, 09:43 AM

Looks like you have taken all the travel out of your shocks. How doe you get any articulation that way?? I have the spacers inside of mine, but I have alot more travel that yours.

That is my friend's chevy truck, it is in my shop right now getting a new trans and t-case. It is almost the same green as the axial, so I thought it would be funny to post it.

Shocks work great like this, has less up travel but pleanty of down travel, works very well and has pleanty of articulation for me.

thanks for all the kind words guys and K9 --------- Fawk You Too, Asshole
