Re: Project Exorcist Very nice build! Def different. can't wait to see the progress |
So you finally got to it... Huh.. Looks like a good start, glad to hear you have more bracing coming for the front end. It's a key function that is Needed! Well, maybe not so needed with a 17.5t running it.. :) I'll be watching.. |

When ur ready, talk to me.. I have been thru the redline 13.5t's, HH trailmaster BL, and Pro4.. Not to mention all the brushed motors.. (I have desTroyed all the brushed motors.. Darn 4s gets em every time!) |
Re: Project Exorcist well i had some time this evening after work to dig back into this project , i started with moving the rear shocks lower mount to the outside of the mount on the axle ( much better angle on the shock ) . then i finished the rear chassis bracing by taking the rear lower tie bar and bringing it up to the top of the chassis ( had to cut them shorter and then fishmouth the ends ) , then i tackled the body panels ( i had to modify the hood the most to clear the shock towers ) . then i started in on the side panels ( a little trimming here and there was all that was needed ) , and no the green will not be staying as i am going to have freq-e-skins make me a special set of skins for exorcist . okay now on to the pics from today .... http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/q...psb2ee1033.jpg http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps029adcdf.jpg http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps422f1a8c.jpg http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps497383e2.jpg http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/q...ps385a08f0.jpg |

Re: Project Exorcist What in the name of all that's holy?!? How did I miss that you were doing this. Seriously love this. Been trying to decide what to do with this old exoterra that I've got laying around here. Can't wait to see this out on the trail or running Ultra4 "thumbsup" |
Re: Project Exorcist This is a pretty nice build. Can't wait to see what else you have planned for it. |

Re: Project Exorcist okay so it's been a minute or two since i updated the progress on exorcist , i finally got the DMG front bumper braces , as well as the original plastic bumper braces . then i had to get some time to work :shock:..... so with that said i started working on it this evening for a little while , i painted the body panels a nice flat o.d. green for now . i began tackling the front end bracing , i wanted it as sturdy as i could get it without alot of one-off parts ( so i could replace anything that breaks easily ) . i installed the DMG front braces just as they are made ( no mods ) , then i mounted the stock plastic braces backwards towards the cage and cut them to the length i needed . then i drilled some new holes and fishmouthed the ends of the tubes so they would fit good up against the cage tubes . once i finished with the braces i looked at the original stock exo front upper brace ( figured out it would fit through the shock mounts ) so i put it through the upper shock mounts and bolted it to the cage . so now the hood attaches securely to the brace at 4 points , i still have to put all the electronics into it ...maybe tomorrow ......oh and i found the driver for it as well ( the undertaker ( figured he would be a good fit for this rig ) . on to the pics http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/q...psf59e4c4e.jpg http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/q...psf8595129.jpg http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/q...psbfa9c2e4.jpg http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/q...psa9f12ca1.jpg |
