Looks good. Any body off shots? And what steering arms are those?

I will have to get some body off shots. The steering arm is the stock berg one, it is coming apart at the metal ball ends, so I need to switch it out. The top on I cant remember what it is  |

the caster looks a wee bit out of whack there...the knuckles are usually straight up and down...your appear to be laying back...are you trying something different out???

Looking great Colton! I run my knuckels rocked backwards too. Better steering and clearance.

I run all my rigs with the caster rolled back like that as well! It helps with turning radius, and I think it helps with crseting over ledges as well! |

It looks like it came in at just under 2 1/2"  Here are some of the changes I have been meaning to do!  I needed to get rid of my other steering arms BAD!!! The stock berg one was coming apart at the metal ball ends, and chewing my wheels up. So I switched both arms out for some traxxas turnbuckles, and steering links. I had to switch out the small revo ends, for the longer ones, but it came out nice, and now it wont chew my wheels up, and I wont have any tire and wheel movement, like I did when I had the stock berg link on  And they MATCH!!!! Oh, here are a couple pics from the comp:   The only 2 there was  hopefully more will pop up soon.

Well, I needed a new body something fearse, and with our Decent Into Darkness comp tomorrow night, I figured this would be the best time to get a new one going. After seeing Transformers 2, I really wanted to do something different, and something that hasnt been done before, so I got too work. I picked out the OG Grappler, (cant stand the new one) and got to work getting it prepped for paint. I did all the masking myself, and took me a couple late nights to do, but I think the end result was worth it! I had to add a couple other things to it as well.     |

Thanks man! I am loving this body, and I put a lot of time into it, so I am hoping it will last a while.Quote:

The wheels are DL Customs. They were made locally here, and DL would only make so many sets (most being here in Utah, but some are roaming around the nation) Rumor has it, DL sold his rights to his stuff to another well-known crawling company, so keep your eyes peeled, maybe they will be mass produced. | |||
