| Need more Ram!!
Bought a DeadBolt for a Parts rig and decided to use it instead.. Vanquish Links Howler Battery Tray Rear Tray from Yokomo13 off of Ebay. Pro-Line Super Swampers TSL SX My Old Dingo for Interior and Bead Lock Wheels from China. (about 1/2lb each) Body Post had to be modified so they didn't come thru the windshield. Made a spare tire mount |

I want a Winch bumper. Plastic Version. In a Few Days, I'll have a ScalerFab Version Driver A fits the interior but looks big. Driver B looks Smallish.. 70s Two-tone paint. |

Stuffed all my Electronics up front. Had to re adjust my body post a wee bit. Is it Friday yet? G-made 100mm shocks Before Pro-line Scale shocks installed.. LOL.. |

Finished up the interior. Modified the Dash to give it more of a Ram look and a Dash Pad.. I felt the china wheels were too heavy so I swap to Vanquish wheels with BmachineRC wheel Widners Paint matches my Old 75 PowerWagon.. |

Here is how it sits now.. Added some side Mirrors off of Ebay . The body was masked off behind the headlights and taillights till I come up with some sort of light buckets for lights.. I also added the Vanquish 8*degree high steer knuckles but it is throwing off my front wheel off-set. |

That is why I'm running Axial high-steer aluminum knuckles, with the VP I have to run front wheels way outset which kills the scaleness of it all. Those wheels are nice but too narrow, glad taht BMachineRC is making the widenres. | |

Looks like I'll be looking for the Axial Hi-Steer. But... Received my Awesome Front Bumper from ScalerFab The fit and Finish is Perfect. Rock Hard paint and Nice welds.. I had them make it a bit Narrower and Deeper for the Pro-Line Ram Body and make room for a front mounted winch.. |

Just to show How Awesome ScalerFab did on my Bumper. I placed Blue tape where I might have to trim if the tires rub. Don't think that will be an Issue unless I install bigger tires but keeping it scale.. Plenty of room when I want to put a Servo Winch behind the grill.. This bumper is built soo good, I bet I could take a tree out before I could damage my grill. Weighs in at 194 Grams / 6.84 Ounces. |

To get my Width back in order. Out went the Vanquish 8* Knuckles and in with Axial Adjustable Chubs and STRC Steering knuckles. Just to check scale width, i had a set of RC4WD 1.5 wheels and Mud Slingers hanging around. It got me thinking the PitBull Rock Beasts are just a bit too wide for scale. I think I'll stick with the Vanquish 1.9s but find a more scale 4.25 tire.. Suggestions? Not that I'm trying to chase down That Scale White PowerWagon. ;) Don't think I'll ever be able to put that many miles on mine. Never drove my 1:1 that much anyways.. 8mpg, ya didn't drive it that much.. LOL.. |

stuck my truck on the scales and found out it weighs 7.6 lbs. Really? Pretty front heavy too.. Soo... made up a battery mount for the rear just to balance it out.. Swapping out to Deans connectors is next on my list.. Now it has a pretty good 50/50 weight balance.. maybe my front bumper is too heavy? 194 grams..? |

Due to some test running today, don't think I can afford to add anymore top weight to it.. The Ram played a mean game of roll-over during sidehilling.. So unless I can fit them under the rig, guess they'll need to find another ride.. LOL.. |
