im digging the rjspeed 80's body!! looking good. i run the rjspeed jeep looking body on mine. have you had it out for a test run since the upgrades? i have to take alot of flex out of mine to make it hook up better. hard to get traction to the ground with the tires bouncing around.

Yours is one of my favorite builds so far. I really like the fact that the body sits as low as it does. With my layout (Jim’s FOFF) there is no way I can get the body any lower without a lot of reconfiguration. What time are you planning to be out at Folsom Lake this Saturday, I am not sure I am going to have rest of my parts by then and I will have my kids (wife’s out of town), but I would like to check it out anyway.

It's looking sick with the body slammed like that

MR.VERTICAL · 03-30-2011, 11:29 PM

Will be painting up another RJspeed body, 70s style they just fit my rig

cblake187 · 03-31-2011, 06:06 AM

By far my favorite yet.Super low looks super

.Great build!

MR.VERTICAL · 03-31-2011, 11:37 AM

Well got the body cut to fit now for some paint.

TSK · 03-31-2011, 01:33 PM

This profile is killer. The more I look at the Trail Ranger I was planning to use, the more i think I need a fender flareless body so the rear section won't look funny when trimmed.

What nice is all 3 of rjspeed bodys fit really good but you do have to cut the frount fender off . Sould have the other back up body done today.

MR.VERTICAL · 03-31-2011, 05:33 PM

Went to a alum trans because after 3hr. of driving this the plastic housing was deforming a little from the heat need to get the vanquish alum housing.

MR.VERTICAL · 04-04-2011, 11:01 AM

P.S.make sure you close off the holes on top of your axles this is just 3hr. of running.

I knew that would happen. I've seen Slash trans housings go to poop in high speed conditions. Same thing, bearing deflection and gears go capooy.
