Noice! These CGR bodies are so badass looking! I didn't know the Blazer was out yet. |

I think I added 1"... I should have measured that. I will get a final WB measurement for ya. Is yours there yet? Quote:

Thanks. Actually only thing I did was clean up the front bumper and build some new rear shock mounts. I didnt like the ones I made. The body does sit pretty low now. I had to cut holes in the bed for the shock hoops to come through. | |||

Here is a pic of the Pro-Line front bumper cleaned up and mounted. Not sure yet if I want to run the rear bumper or make my own to fit the body a little better. Either way it will need a new mounting system. The other issue I was fighting was the height of the body. Once I raised the rear to gain some center clearance the body was riding WAY too high for me. I had to cut some openings in the bed to let the rear shocks come through. Rough cuts: Here is a pic of the rear body posts. I ended up moving them down 3 holes after this pic to get the body where I wanted it. Sorry still no pics of the shock mounts... I will get those up soon. |

That looks great. Proline did a great job too. Now are they ever going to get into the hard body business or does Tamiya own all the plastic? |

Hey B., did you move the rear shock mounts back when you stretched the WB? I can see your rear shocks are at a bit of angle but mine looks worse then that at the stock location.. I tried moving the forward hoop chassis hole to the rear hole (and just drill a new rear) but that put the WB at 13.5" (rough guess) Could just be me after spreading 1100lbs of concrete on a home course, i was a little tilted myself.. Thanks for posting up the flyer, sounds like a cool deal |
