I laugh every time i seen the keg on the roof

LIKES2CRAWL · 11-30-2010, 07:53 PM

Build looks good, I like how bright the lights are but think it would look better with the light bar in front of the rack instaed of on top.

What light kit did you use, don't recal you saying what it was?

flascx10 · 11-30-2010, 08:11 PM

Yea, I like the keg, I get a lot of complements on it.

Yea, I think I'm gonna do that on this body. The lights are super bright, I love em!

I got the lights off ebay, its just two kits and each kit has four bulbs and I just spliced them together, they are 5mm leds.
Thanks for the complements guys, can't wait for the goodies that are coming at the end of December haha

Got some new scale parts early for Christmas thanks to Arctichorse, gonna put some pics up soon.
And ordered some new goodies, here is the updated list, still waiting for this stuff to arrive.
-RC4WD Mud Slingers with spare
-RC4WD SCX10 winch bumper by Tough Guard
-RC4WD metal Rock sliders
-wireless reviever for my winch
I have a metal scale bumper that i bought for my truck, but doesnt fit. now im thinking of getting custom and making it fit, along with some other details. any ideas?

arctichorse · 12-02-2010, 08:04 PM

No problem bud, your truck was looking a little bare up there haha. I'm eager to see how the new bumper fits.

flascx10 · 12-02-2010, 08:15 PM

Yea if it comes in, that's why I'm thinking about making the other one fit for the competition

flascx10 · 12-03-2010, 03:17 PM

UPDATE: went to the beach with my buddy and started practicing in the soft sand for the competition we have on Dec. 19th. here are some pics.

H2 fell on its side, and it was a cool pic!

UPGRADES: got new RC4WD rock sliders and wireless winch control.

Since im waiting on my RC4WD bumper to come in, i started fabbing up brackets to make a different one fit. and i came across a very unique way of mounting my winch. no screws, or zipties. it is wedged between the battery tray and the front bumper delete panel. i can lift the truck off ground by the winch cable and winch doesnt even budge, im making a plate to go there while bumper mounts are being fabbed. here is a pic

still waiting on metal steering links, and mud slingers!!!
let me know what you guys think.

How sturdy are those Traxxas links and what was the cost?

Pretty strong, I'm satisfied. They are adjustable, but to fit the honcho wheelbase they are maxed out at full length, just make sure you don't make them so loose. That they come out of the eyelit peice, $9 for a pair at my LHS.

Hyde · 12-03-2010, 05:43 PM

Thanks for the reply, reason I asked is I have a Dingo and Ive been looking at the proline CGR Bronco which is a 12.5" wheelbase. That and my plastic links have a spaghetti noodle effect at the moment

These should be perfect for you then, I love them. And they are light weight and strong

Hyde · 12-03-2010, 06:31 PM

Good to hear. Trip to the LHS in store for tomorrow
