My DeadBolt

[sled]

Got my DeadBolt for Christmas, nothing crazy done yet just some driving time, painting my driver heads, installed a Fire extinguisher and some detail painting that I am working on. I think my Skull head is my driver turned out the way I wanted to a T. So many things I want to change but I am going to hold off and replace/ modify things as needed.

Not much change just some accent painting, kinda ties in the yellow goggles and strap and old school helmet and driver. Probably gonna keep the big lights up there since it kinda works with the image of the DeadBolt and my new Dead driver.


Thinking about a spare tire mount, have an idea but don't feel like hacking up a new truck just yet so I think I am gonna borrow Prime's Cheapbolt idea and mount it on the rear of the cage.

Looking good.Id skip the spare tire.Puts too much weight up high on the truck.Do some free mods by moving the battery mount plate to the frame area behind the front shock hoops.Just in front on the motor/gearbox.Lots of cool upgrades out there.Choose wisely.

I agree the weight will be way up high with the tire on the cage, but it's more for an display reason. I likely won't be entering any events so it won't be needed while running and likely will be left at home or on the car. I will be doing the battery mount move eventually, I just want to get more driving time with it stock so I can appreciate the mods more when they are done. I appreciate the input and all my decisions are made with lots of prior research so I know my options and what works and doesn't work on other peoples rigs.

Anyone have suggestions on how to install a NVS into my deadbolt?

A little more paint detail and aluminum servo horn and Ti steering links.

And a borrowed custom mount (Prime's Cheapbolt) for a spare tire or maybe some recovery equipment.
