It looks great, though I would tend to agree that the Satin Black would look a bit closer to the color of the 1:1...unless it looks blacker in real life than the pics.

Instead of shorter shocks, why dont you run softer springs so you get a little droop. That would tuck the wheels up better but not limit articulation like a shorter shock would.

Not to mention, a partial droop setup would be more realistic. Most 1:1's sit at aat least 50% droop if not considerably more.

Did you break the front one? Your drive line angle looks really bad in this picture.

ae racer · 10-04-2009, 12:44 PM

you know... i think that some 1.9s might look a little better/more scale on this...just my $.02
looks good otherwise.

Nope I broke the back one twice. First time in about two minutes. I went home put a new one on and no more than ten minutes CRACK.

Thanks I think the body needs some work. I need to fix the tape line and need the green flames. I had Zorlac paint it flat black as a base. It will be going to the painter soon. I"ll do it Satin Black just for you guy's.

That is a good Idea. I have springs so that would be easy to try.

I am a HUGE early bronco fan, have like 6 of them. So anytime I see anyone who is a fan to it makes me HAPPY! Killer build and looks so close to your truck! Be very proud of such a awesome build!

Well thanks you. I am very happy with were the bronco is going. I just got news that my new Pro-Line shocks are being shipped. This is a project that will take time to get it just right. But will be well worth the wait.

Fedex left me a present from Pro-Line

CRAWL UGLY · 10-10-2009, 02:03 PM

That rig looks awesome and those shocks should top it off just right I'd like to see a video of it in action with those shocks

luke-o · 10-10-2009, 08:55 PM

Love the build! i want to make some tube work like that for my trail ranger. do those shocks make a big difference in performance? or are they just looks?

Thanks

The Zorlac of DMG can make it. Yes these Pro-Line PowerStroke Shocks are great there is no plastic. I do need to get firmer springs. I Pirate is very piggy.

sally1800 · 10-13-2009, 05:54 PM

The Pro-Line PowerSroke shocks are installed. They are very nice

I also got DNA Trans output shaft to fix my weak link. I got some Integy 15mm Wheel Wideners to fix the width to be more like the JR 1.1 Pirate.
Last but least a Hitec 7950 servo. I like the Power

I almost forgot I sprayed the body with some Outlaw Black to give it the satin finish. Thanks for the advice.

EvilTwin v2 · 10-13-2009, 05:57 PM

It looked good before, but now it's really coming together. That's one very nice build!

Thanks for the kind words. Don't worry there is allot more to be done to this. I wont hold back. I haven't even had a chance to take it out. The first time I tried I was cracking trans output left and right. The new DNA ones seam to be holding up allot better.
