Re: Trophy Truck V2.0
 

Finally got the drive line and diff mounted and servo location set so now it's time to start the tube work...i was hoping to find a drive shaft combo that was a little shorter to make the two pivot points of the drive shaft and lower link line up but it cycles fine and doesnt bind or do anything weird so i'll give it a go.

Re: Trophy Truck V2.0
 

This was all the tube work I was able to get done today, the body is a tricky one to fit the tubes to. It has a lot of weird angles and slight bends to it and I want the body to fit it tight so it's going to be a tough one to get done quickly...

I think I am going for a stance like this.

Looks great! What's your plan for a sway bar?

Might use a VP or Dlux sway bar, leaning towards the Dlux one since it offers more tune-ability with different rate bars. Anyone have feedback on the Dlux sway bar?

Re: Trophy Truck V2.0
 

Incredible work, stance is just killer, very cool build!

Re: Trophy Truck V2.0
 

Your making me want to build a 2wd truck!

Re: Trophy Truck V2.0
 

DO IT! There is going to be a gathering of some folks that build custom trophy trucks in the fall to go out and run em. Even heard there might be a special guest or two...

Re: Trophy Truck V2.0
 

Hey Awesome truck. I have a couple questions. 1. What are those mounts your are using for your trailing arms and upper links? 2. What size wheels/tyres are those? 3. Are they yeti trailing arms? Thanks
Keep up the good work "thumbsup"

Re: Trophy Truck V2.0
 

1. The mounts are STRC for the Yeti 2. wheels and tires are 2.2's 3. Yeti trailing arms for now soon to be changed out. Thanks

Re: Trophy Truck V2.0
 

So I ordered Metal Concepts RC rear trailing arms and they are longer than VP trailing arms so I have to make some wheelbase adjustments, however the new arms will line up better with the drive shaft length and the two pivot points will be dead on so it's well worth the two steps backwards.

Man nice start you got going she should be a beauty when done shoot it make an awesome self queen now lol!!

Re: Trophy Truck V2.0
 

Nice build so far. I was wondering where did you get those rear trailing arm mounts that go to the chassis?and what body is that?

Re: Trophy Truck V2.0
 

Awesome build can't wait to see more!

Re: Trophy Truck V2.0
 

This thing is insane!!

Keep up the great work

Re: Trophy Truck V2.0
 

Ya, what are the rear trailing arm mounts from? I have a similar project in the plans. I was planning on a rustler front end cause I have it, any reason you went with the 4wd front end if you aren't going 4wd.

thanks this thing is beautiful by the way

edit, just saw what the rear mounts are, thanks. but still curious about the 4wd front end.

Re: Trophy Truck V2.0
 

The 4x4 parts are stronger and in my opinion look better...
