Has about 3mm of clearance at the top of the fender before it will rub at full compression

Isn't that body made of one of the hardest kryptonite-lexan ever??? I have/had such a hard time cutting the windows and the rear cross support... and I even got me brand new lexan scissors! Still envy your choice of blue but don't want to copy you

Yeah these bodies are hard as nails, Do up the Blue It will look killer.

Awesome work.

I am debating doing this to XL. I may do away with the body's cage entirely, and just redo the rear roll cage and bumpers similar to what your sexyness has got goin on

Thanks man I already had a cage and stuff off of an xl and had an old Proline baja 5b truck conversion body on it and it's close, really close but I have to devote some times to my other projects now.

[Eliminator_ryan]

Well I got my spare tire all I have to do is wait for my dune T/A's to come in for my spare and drive it! I also threw on some VP trailing arms. What do you guys think?

[fxman]

Awesome! I like the bumpers ALOT! And I made my decision: I go with yellow on my one - I wouldn't get mine to look as good as yours!

looks great it's a shame to hide all that purdee stuff underneath that body...
KOOL wheels who makes thems.....

Truly awesome build. Insane amount of detail and ingenuity.

It used to be said "This thread is worthless without pics". Now this thread is worthless without videos. I for one would really like to see this in action.

Thank-you sir

I did drive it on Saturday and it is fast on 2s but stupid fast on 3s. I have some tuning to do with shock oils and gearing but once it is all worked out I will get you guys video. It is cool watching this truck do wheels down the front street and dragging the back bumper.

[Eliminator_ryan]

I just wanted to let you guys know I will be at axial fest this years and will be bringing this with me if you wanted to come check it out.

I'll make sure to capture it on video.

Gorgeous truck. It would be nice to see a run video for those of us who can't make it to the fest.
