Muddywaters back in action

[muddywaters]

Got home today and on my front porch I had waiting for me my two front Aluminum axles from RC4WD for the 4WS, and my Proline assortment springs. So that means that the motor package from Holmes Hobbies should also be here by next week. So I got to work on the 4WS and finished that today, put in the XHD No Slop lockers, my MIP drive shafts, front and rear VP tie rods and drarg links, also put on the poison Diff covers on and placed an order on an HPI Jeep Rubicon body from RRP Hobbies. Next I will cut the rear stiffiners to make sure that the rear servo clears, install the green Proline springs when the other set comes in, cause I placed one order first and placed the 2nd oder a day later, work on were and how to put the winch on until the motor comes in. And start playing with 4PL to get use to it. Hope you guys like more pic's to come.

I was going to order those diff covers when I ordered my wraith, but they were out of stock. They look great.

That's motivation, great job!

wow i hadn't really considered how little clearance there is for the rear servo.

Thanks brother!!, a forum member gave me a good Idea A while back on those poison Diff cover's. If they are out of stock just order two of the key chains of those poison diff's they are the same and will work.

Yes sir radster, but once you get rid of the stiffiner it falls in place.

Looking good muddy. I ordered up a 4pl yesterday since I decided I was probably gonna go 4ws sooner than later. Watching Harley's videos didn't hurt either.

So forgive me for being slow (I just got home from a 12hr graveyard shift), but what exactly did you remove in the rear to make room for the servo? Do you have any other pics?

Yes sir tell me about when I got on this forum I was going google eye on some the trucks that are on here and how they are transformed it's like a drug, but I already confessed on the post. X2 on the Harley videos thats was got me hooked too. So here it is before and after pics hope this helps. It's the stiffiner in the rear close to the lights, so now I have to mount the lights on the body. Plus I also picked this up at Home Depot a Dremel Stylus, to make it easier to cut and polish up a little and it's real good for the hobby entusiast and awesome to handle.

[slickwillie]

Thanks a lot. That's what I thought, but wasn't sure. I like that dremel, looks a lot nicer than my 15 year old one

Thanks bro! If you look on page 4 you'll see harlyes posts and on his 1st page you'll see his videos I remember him saying something like he was posting his videos their. As for the universals I did a quick check and your right their no were to be found.

[muddywaters]

Got home and found this on my door step.




Now I can get back to work and install the Holmes motor package, 2012 13t team edition, waterproof BRXL, and my CC BEC Pro. Also got on the way my winch mount and a new Rubicon body cause I kind of got carried away on the other jeep body and cut to much.
