Default last night's work...

tummy tuck, it's all the way up to the rockers. completely unmodified body!!! everything fits just fine!!! i'll share my "underbody" photo's later...

all i have done to the susp is: cut limiting tabs, inboard rear shocks, and outboard front shocks. i'm leaning towards a stretched wheelbase with a triangulated 4 link and some savage shocks...

While you're at it . . . . how about sharing how you stuffed everything without moddin' the body?

ah, have patience young grasshopper!!! i was going to post pics tonight, once i take them!!!

basically, the battery is hanging out just behind/above the front axle, a little higher COG than i prefer, but works for now, i may go to a sub-c pack laid flat in the new "belly", we'll see... i had to cut out a large chunk of the curved plastic tub that was up there, but the battery fits perfectly and the floor of the body is unmolested!

Thanks, but I'm an old a$$ rock hopper . . .

Sounds like a clean setup . . . . I may die before you get the pictures up but at least I get the idea.

Dang, lucky me . . . made it another day or two. Saw the sun rise and set yesterday but no pics? Saw the sunrise again today but still no pics . . . . if old age doesn't get me first, the suspense of waiting may finish me off

I see red "X"s, but no pics open when I right click on them and select "Show Picture".

dunno why they're not working, if you copy & paste, they work, or just use http://community.webshots.com/user/fastg60 to see the whole album.

Ok, made it out to your WebShots site . . . . very cool mod! That's a REAL tight fit up there. No need for BBs in your front tires eh? So it wheels ok with all that weight forward?
