So this is what 1.55 SSD wheels (silver) wrapped in 1.55 Pitbull Growlers looks like compared to 1.9 SSD Trail Beadlock (black) wrapped in Proline BF Goodrich AT's. There really isn't much difference between the two. OD on 1.55's are 4.19 versus OD of 4.35 on the 1.9's. I could go either way, but since I just bought the 1.9 SSD Trail Beadlocks I'll just use those. So... I'll need to trim more of the fenders and/or explore a limiter for up travel on the shocks.

SSD 1.55s look great on there, maybe some little up travel limiters don't cut too much of that beautiful Yota hardbody. Last edited by Natedog; 08-17-2017 at 05:44 PM. | |

There really doesn't look to be too much of a difference. I might have to consider going the 1.55 route for purposes of clearance etc. Thanks for posting pics of that ebbet.

I'm thinking I might go with the Pitbull Braven Ironsides once they become available. They have an OD of 4.19 which is the same as the 1.55 Pitbull Growlers shown in the photos above. This combined with an up travel limiter should get the job done. | |

I got the cage and body mounts second hand. But as CR4NK states, I believe they come with the cage. I'll defer to CR4NK's knowledge about selling the body mounts separately. Based on the website it looks like that is an affirmative. http://smfrcworks.webs.com/products-page-one Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk | |

So I think I am going to forego cutting the body anymore than I already have. Too many people I talk to suggest not cutting "that beautiful body"! So, I put some limiters in the front shocks. A half inch of black fuel tubing does the trick. Once I get the Pitbull Braven Ironside tires, I'll see if any more adjustments are necessary. Might be able to use my 1.55 Pitbull Growlers in the meantime for testing and fitment since the OD is the same. Also, I picked up some Beef Patties for added weight down low. They fit perfectly and look pretty trick through the SSD Trail Beadlocks. Outside of that, really haven't done too much else. Gotta figure out what I wanna do next. Thinking I need to figure out if I wanna use the half cab or full cab back. The full cab back will require a lot of modifications due to the bulky center trans of the SCX2. Once that is completed I can start painting. Still can't decide on a color. Was thinking a light blue with red Yota graphics. Might be something different. If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears!

Just test fit the interior...it fits! I was shocked considering the size of the trans. Now,vwhen I put my full size 5200 3S better in, it's a little tight. I might need to make some adjustments to that somehow. Otherwise I'm very happy! Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk |

Looking good ebbet! I'm interested to see which cab back you choose and how you mate it to the truck.

I like this look. The old Ironman Stewart look. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk |

I'm seriously impressed that the interior fit over that tranny! That look is great isn't it! I'll bet you can one up it though! | |

I could do the Ironman Stewart look or simply borrow the theme and use difference colors. Not sure if I want to go that route or just go with a simple paint job and use the Yota graphics like in the link below. Gear Head RC 1/10 Scale TOY Vinyl Graphics Kit - Red | |

Personally, I really love the ironman Stewart theme. When you see it you know its a TOY. For mine, I plan to keep it basic. One solid color. Ebbet, are you gonna use the front corner/side markers? I've seen plenty of hiluxes which dont have them and just had a decal over the holes. On the other hand I've seen many that had the actual corner markers. I've thought about just using some aves apoxie sculpt to plug the holes then sand smooth. | |

Nice! I feel the same way. I prefer to have them for this particular body as well. I bought a set of the "plastics" that are supposedly for the tamiya hilux but I'm not sure if I have everything I need. I'm not sure the lenses for the side markers are the ones that fit in the holes on the body. This is the set I bought. Is this the one you are going to use? If so I'll be paying attention to how you add those as well. If not, I would like to know which ones you will use. Then I see these ones everywhere. They look to have some silver/chrome around the lens. I dont know where to get em though. The pic are from a build thread in the uk in which someone uses a kit for the build. If they only come in the kit it's a wash (for me anyway). Boooooo Last edited by CR4NK; 08-20-2017 at 03:20 PM. | |

No way! You are correct ebbet, I don't have that parts tree. I did not know that (in best Johnny Carson voice) lol. Thanks brotha! That does explain alot. I have been wondering what other parts I was missing and that shed some serious light on it. | |
