Started my 1.9 trail course on the property...

I found a pretty sweet spot next to the river where I am building a 1.9 scale course... Pretty fun!"thumbsup"

Here are a couple photos of a friend and I driving this weekend. I will get some overall photos of the course - if you have any suggestions; please post em..."thumbsup""thumbsup"

Man great looking rig. I think the 1.55 may look cool but also may be to small..lol For motors I love my 35T and would say would be perfect for your truck.

Thanks TAT... I agree. I bought some 1.55 wheel/tires. They look PERFECT for the body, but the axels and hubs just look wayyyyy to big. I will save them for the yota axels I plan to put under this EB in the future... Hopefully they will look more scale. If not, I have a contigency of getting a 1:14 scale LR3 for em...."thumbsup" Afterall, you cannot let a good set of tires go to waste - right. ;-)

Thanks,
Mike

Our new trail course - ***PICK HEAVY***

I like it alot! Great lookin little rig.

Nice truck, and NICE COURSE. Looks like you have lots of "fertile ground" for scale crawling. Keep up the good work.

That is a great idea!!!8) I completely forgot about the FXR. I could really use the smaller sized ESC!!

I have decided to stay with 1.9's... I bought some 1.55's and when I got them next to the truck - nope... :flipoff:

Thanks guys!

Mike

Got the jack mounted... Along with the CB antenna...

I get full 4in of flex top to bottom.... Love em!"thumbsup""thumbsup"

Awesome! Are those delrin leafs? I have leafs front and rear on my jeep and they flex real well too. It probably helps that I have a all steel body and it weighs about 10.5lbs:mrgreen:

Yes - The leafs are delrin. Couldn't be happier with em!"thumbsup"

I just swapped to leafs on my Bronco but dont really like the setup very much...care to go into detail on yours? Can you post some better pics of it?
Thanks!

Dam that shock set up is nice. I wanna run the double shocks like yours.

1.5's or 1.9's. It won't matter.

BOTH will look killer on that rig man, nice job. "thumbsup"
