i put rod end swivels under mine and it was perfect. still have the brace (flipped) shock limiters in half, drive shaft trimmed. GREAT articulation with no binding anywhere. (even lowered the body and raised the shocks for lower CG)
the only aftermarket parts are pitbull growler 1.55 on gearhead wheels. my son ran the truck like that on 2s 2000mah lipo at proline by the fire and it RIPPED up the trails!!!
just tires!!! its all you need for this thing to be just as good as rigs that cost DOUBLE!

thanks again hillbilly!

*"Hero photo" of my son's Barrage at Proline (yes its a v1 its plastidipped green on the outside)

No problem at least I could help and hope it blew minds at the proline event.
Speaking of that event I was wondering who's barrage I seen in codyboys pics.

Damn. Yeah I see nothing. So this rig is awesome. Just got my tamiya fj40 body. Gonna build and paint it this weekend. I want to add steel wheels and gonna try and rig up some beef tubes with brass. This is a very tippy rig. Other than that I am truly impressed with the power and capabilities.

Check out the losi mini crawler section for beef tubes.
I know a few guy have made them for those axles which are might help find what you might be looking for for material.

Well from a pc I can see the pics. Looks awesome. Are those Everest axles a good way to go? I am gonna use gmade steel wheels to add some weight down low. I think I am gonna run class 1 hyrax tires. Get the rig lowered and looking more scale.

Everest axles are just cheaper then scx10 axles both are easy to fit somewhat. There are 3 barrages with scx10/Everest 10 axles on forum now.

They are HSP Pangolin axles, which are Everest 10 axles. The tranny is HSP 18024, Ascender wheels, Axial tires, Tamiya silvercan....'tis a mixed up truck I guess.

Will since I work at a hobby shop scx10 axles are easier to source than Everest. Only one other guy here has modded the barrage. I just ordered the aluminum rear lockouts. Front aluminum hubs would be sweet if I could find them. Just see how far I can go with stock drivetrain. How is drivetrain holding up on 3s? We just got in some 2700 3s that would be perfect. I am running 2200 2s now. Haven’t messed with pinion yet. Read a 12t 48p is good move. Is that on 2 or 3s?

Also revolution seismic mt shocks running 10w are perfect for this rig. Top mounting hole. I am painting the fj40 body and will post up soon. Should I start a thread?

2s I think is max with stock electronics

We run a Venom 4000mAh 2s lipo

The 12t is for gen 1 they come stock with a 16th and is geared to high.

The gen 2 comes with a 22t

I totally agree that is crawls fantastic stock. I adjust my dual rate depending on what I am doing. I was asking more in the sense that I was maybe missing out by not switching pinions.

I like to mess with stuff so I want to look at the rc4wd transmission option. I am super curious which outrunner 1000kv motor someone used. Not sure if that post was here or where it was.

Several baby brushless motors will fit but the kv is quite high. Has anyone had luck with dromida motors?

Thanks for all the replies guys.
