Bought a DeadBolt for a Parts rig and decided to use it instead..

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.

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.

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.

Truck looks good!

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..

Thanks, I didn't notice how short the front post were since I modified them to
fit more forward and not stick thru the window..
I always wanted my 1:1 to be a Monster Truck.
Soo..

I think this is gonna be my next mod already.
