yeah happy bday adam. it looked kinda cold at the lake...

since gary is goin ar60 i will too. i like the setup of the youtube rig, prolly just mimic it as well. i dont know about the rc4wd t case as a carrier bearing, seems kinda bulky and a weak link in the drivetrain, but it holds up in the videos... pretty sure i can ghetto fab something different.

I was thinking the same thing but using 2 GCM t-cases.
Gonna see if I can run MIP Summit bones from a more centrally located trans to front and rear t-case, split from there to the 2 sets of axles.

Basically, like the rear of that pic but mirrored for the front too.

[johnnyh66]

and a mini!

It was not that bad at the lake.

Neat ice tho.
As soon as I got there I realized I had a broken cvd. Then a few min later. A broken c hub.

I'll be back as soon as it's fixed. Great spot

Thanks for the birthday good will.

Gary, take a run over to America's Best Toy and Train in Itasca, They have a ton of Bruder trucks, something there should be what your looking for. They're on Rt 19 just east of Rohlwing Rd. 865 Maplewood Dr, Itasca, 630-467-1102

Cool I pass that place all the time..

Ya toys r us used to be so much cooler when I was a kid ..now its a bunch of pregnant ladys looking for baby stuff.
no finds they did have one of them big ass ford 150 body's but ya that won't work..

They had a huge wall of Bruder at Blains Farm & Fleet. I saw a perfect truck for a 6x6 conversion not sure if they have stores near Chicago though.

[bronc4now]

Love it or hate it ...let's discuss

[2.slowduo]

Don't matter. Gonna change em again anyway so who cares.

Wonder about scx 1.9 wraith tho. They do make chassis rails for it.
Would still be a nasty truck in what is now trail rated.

Probably still run the lr3 with 2.2s in ww

Just have to wait and see I guess.

Ima have fun no matter what!

Got the rest of the week off for my b day.

Who wants to go crawling?!

[bronc4now]

11" gate all round. ..i think the ascender axles will be a must have ..or I'm running all my trucks in overkill

[2.slowduo]

I've got 9 and a quarter on my scx wraith and 10 even with the lr3 with the 2.2 and .650 hubs.

It will be tight but doable.
Johnny has 8.5 on his narrowed ascender axles with growlers.
Also. I saw a bunch of bruder trucks at tj max on golf rd

About 30$ each.

[badhoopty]

yeah i can pretty much say i aint changing up my rigs to compete under those rules. sure as hell aint taking a 4pt penalty for not having a full width bumper on a trail rig...

[badhoopty]

eh i dunno... had a shit day and was pissy at everything. ;)

reread the rules and i think im good for every class. a little tweaking and i can run 2.2 tsls on timmy for weekend warrior.

i just wish there was more functional scale points... but it looks like a good buncha guys and i need to stop being a hater. ;)

Woodstock and Sycamore are the two I know of.

[thzero]
