Seriously, that is going to be really, really cool. I like how you made that upper link/servo mount to keeping in style with the orig axles.

JasonInAugusta · 12-28-2006, 08:11 AM

Have today off, should be able to get the rear 3 link completed.

I need to get it wrapped up if I want to run the rig this weekend.

The more weight you have on the All-Ts the better they are. Ralph tipped the scales at 9+lbs with TLT axles. I'm sure he'll be closer to the 10lb mark this time around. Have to keep in mind that Ralph is by no means a comp rig, just a fun basher. I'm not too worried about tire slippage but I don't find myself looking for more traction either. I just drive the rig and have fun.

ScGRaceR, I plan to put some new skins on Ralph when I complete the rebuild. Right now I have family in town so I just hope to find time to finish up the supension work so I can test him this Sunday.

Trikster · 12-28-2006, 09:37 PM

Do you add weight to the tires also (BB's or stick on's)? Do you have foams in them?

I didn't know Ralph was so hefty... I really like 'im and am thinking of putting together something similar.

War Pig · 12-29-2006, 12:04 AM

This is the first time I've read through this thread, haven't had a whole lotta spare time lately. I love the front link and servo mount, very clean!
Ralph is also my favorite truck on here, it's good to see you constantly modifying and improving him. Looks great! Keep it up.

canucksrc · 12-29-2006, 04:13 AM

Hey JIA,
Let us know how that steering works for ya? Is Ralph going to get the Rock Star touch again?

Great fab work

See ya in Augusta,
P

chino438 · 12-29-2006, 04:17 AM

awesome! JIA

maybe someday i will have a rig half as awsome as Ralph.

joecrawler · 12-29-2006, 08:09 AM

He needs an AMP big rig touch this time.

JasonInAugusta · 12-29-2006, 09:03 AM

I'm going to stick with the curent scheme for a while. When I made the first panels they didn't come out exactly like I wanted.

The next panels to go on will be very close to what the can looks like.

Just need to get the paint masks so I can make the new panels.

I just finished and threw away a Rockstar can... Should I dig it out and send it to you? :-P

Thanks for the DX6 tips by the way. That set up feels more natural! Now I just need to upgrade to brushless for the drag braking...
