Default Project Fireball
The following truck started off as a RTR jeep JK from a couple months back.
First thing was to upgrade the ball bearing in the stock servo thanks to fast eddies. Then moved on to the Gmade 93mm shocks and Axial Simple LED kit.

Axial beadlocks that are fully weighted both front and rear.

Ran a CC MMP with a Pro4 for about 2 months till one of the polls blew out in the motor. For now Im running stock esc and motor till spring.

But anyways, On to the current pics.


Picked up a custom made steal cage from a guy on ebay and ordered some red beadlock rings.

I have a custom body being painted at the moment that should tie everything together.

Cheers

So should I keep or change out the red beadlock rings? Hard to tell till the body gets in.

I havent yet but maybe in the short future. I have been very happy with these shocks. I have the front a little stiffer and the rear nice and soft. Truck doesn't roll at high speeds yet still crawls perfect. No leaks and they have been used pretty hard.

Not at this time cause its all torn apart. I also just ordered some black KMC VP 1.9 beadlocks to go on my Pitbull tires and CI foams.
