How much are the rear wheels narrowed? Im putting the same tire and wheel set up on mine, I just don't want the "fat tire" look that is common with XR wheels. Great looking rig, nice work.... |

Alright time for an update. Been working on this bad boy all week, cant believe how much fun it is just to tinker, and build stuff Since last update, I tore the truck down again, cleaned it up a bit, shortened wires, and cleaned up wiring, and ofcourse did upgrades. What do you guys think? top on or top off? Im kinda digging the top off look. |

Took 3rd place in 2.2 and 3rd overall as well Tonight I built a fuel cell. built it out of styrene, and here is how it looks right now, just gotta find/make the perfect cap. The electronics box i am covering up |

I got the fuel cell mounted, and full of fuel didnt turn out too bad Then, I called up Trail-Gear and ordered 2 set of there Dana 60 drive flanges The real thing: Now I am starting my next project, rear light bar! What I got so far: More updates soon Last edited by Going Up!; 12-27-2011 at 02:32 PM. |

Looks great. That fuel cell is pretty pimp. How hard is it to take off if you need to get to the electronics box? I dig the paint on the body too.

X2 on the tank it looks sweet. Are you able to get full articulation on the rear axle with the battery tray and rear center stiffner still their. Cause I cut mine out so that the servo would clear up and down. like this picture here. before After |

Looks great, I especially like the cage mod and Toyota grill! How are you diggin the XR10 wheels? Do they hold bead good? Any chance on a small narrow them tutorial with pics? What wheels did you change to in the last pic and why? Thanks! The Chaotic steering links fit with the Revo rod ends bottomed out on the threads or did you have to adjust them out to get toe set right? | |

the XR10 wheels are awesome!! They hole really well, and look good. RockDrifter on here is the one that narrowed the back wheels. If there is one draw back to these wheels it is they are not scale or realistic looking in anyway. So I am planning on swapping when funds allow. The chaotic links are pretty close to all the way in the ends. But there is always going to be tuning to get the tires perfectly straight, and tracking right | ||

It actually has a lot of flex! Doesnt hit the bumps on the shock tho, but I am going to trim the little mounts on the tray soon to help that out. But no issues with flexing or anything. My only complaint would be the rear all coming up at once (after landing a jump) the servo will hit the chassis before the shock bumps hit. | |

Fuel cell turned out good CoCo, can't wait to see how the light bar turns out. Also wanted to say congrats on the 3rd place at the last Ultra4 race |
