Your builds look great, man. I think I'm going to strip my Deadbolt body and redo it in Camel Yellow. I would prefer to get a clear body to start with, but I don't care for that stock, granny apple green color any longer.

Thanks johnnyluv.Ive enjoyed the hell out of building these three rigs.Got a lot of compliments on that camel yellow Jeep.I love painting lexan bodies.Always have.So easy to change the look of your ride with a freshly painted body!

500 posts.Quite an accomplishment for as long as I've been a member.Everybody have a safe enjoyable 4th of July weekend.
I plan on getting the trucks out for the family cook out for everyone to take a turn.

Ordered a "pair" of CI foams to try out.To my dismay when I opened the box from RPP there was only one pair of foams.
The dumb-ass in me forgot to add two pairs to the cart.Second pair have ordered.Oh well!

[RiderZ]

Tired of the leaking Axial shocks.Ordered up a set of Proline PowerStroke Scaler shocks.Toss up between these and the King shocks.Went with Proline for their quality products.

[RiderZ]

Got my CI foams installed.I had drilled a breather hole in the Axial beadlock wheels previously.Withe the new foams they don't breathe anymore.Seam as they are air filled now.Any fix for that other than poking a hole in the tires themselves? I don't like the idea of a hole in my expensive tires.Any thoughts???

I put some pl scalers on mine, and really like them.come pre-built, just add oil and mount them.very smooth.i think next set will be the longer slash models for more articulation.

[RiderZ]

Heard nothing but good about the Proline shocks.Cant wait to mount them up and try 'em out.Probably fill them with AE 40 wt. silicone oil.Anxious to see how the CI foams work also.These are all mounted on my first G6 kit with the red Chevy body.

[RiderZ]

Got my Proline shocks today.Filled them with Associated 40wt silicone oil.I like the way they feel.Hopefully the oil stays on the inside and not dripping off the bottom of the spring carriers.Having problems posting pics.Keeps crashing back to desktop on my IPad.Cant figure it out.

Pic test.

With the G6 Jeep.

[RiderZ]

Got the bug to get a Wraith.Anyboby got a like new Wraith roller they want to trade for a like new SCX10? The orange Dodge @ the top of the page.

[RiderZ]

Picked up another Proline 07 Chevrolet body.Wanted to use up some leftover paint cans from previous bodies.Did the simple fade job.Its different.Still need to drill mount holes.

You have more bodies than a brothel

[RiderZ]

Six bodies between three rigs.As I said before I've always loved to paint up new lexan bodies for r/c.

[SCREAMER]

Very nice. I love the G6 platform. I'm piecing one together myself. Great job on those bodies. That fade job Silverado looks badass. Those Compasses are 2.2s?

[RiderZ]

Thanks Screamer.I agree the G6 platform is a great rig for those of us that like to build from a kit.Lots of potential.The Compass tires are 1.9.They are 4.75" in diameter.Tall tires.I like them,good tires for trail running.This Silverado will stand out in a crowd! LOL.

[RiderZ]

Picked up a Yea Racing Hackmoto 35t motor.Like a little more wheel speed than the Integy 45t was able to give.Just $22 from RPP Hobby.Anybody else run one of these motors?

[RiderZ]

Added a little HP boost to the Dodge Ram.

Got a few goodies from RPP today after work.Im liking the red GearHead rings.Also got a Proline 66 Ford I'm gonna paint up this weekend.
