Nice truck. Did you use arrow shafts for links? If so which ones did you use and what was the threading of the inserts (8/32" maby?) Did you use Revo rod ends? I'm just looking for info for my build. thanks

I used the scrap freebie pieces from the local archery store. Dont know what name brand. Free is all I knew. The inserts are 8/32". Revo rod ends too.

The frame is made outta 1/2" aluminum channel and the belly aluminum piece from a stock Clodbuster.

I will hopefully be done with the rolling assembly tomorrow.

Oh yeah, those wheels are for setting up a touring car. A lot easier moving it around that way.

I did find some wheels I liked today. Pics tomorrow................I hope.

got moabs, 96/13 gearing, and 70wt oil. narrowed stance 3/8 and raised front steering links so they dont hit pumpkin. performs very well. shock oil makes it alot more predictable .
