Thank you Eritex Inc. for these STUNNING BL's. From the packageing to the assembly, Top Notch On with the pics Nice and tight tolerrences I like the stance, but the axles need to be narrowed some more And the mandatory poser shots Last edited by Bart bender; 02-08-2009 at 10:13 AM. |

SICK wheels! The rig would be better if it was a Toyota. Looks good though About an inch off both sides of the axles would be just about right. |

Hi Bart, Just read through your build and all I can say is FANTASTIC!! A brilliant job. Can't wait to see her finished and running. Some questions: What material is the chassis made from? How about the front mounts? They look like nylon and it seems you've machined and dyed them. I'm experimenting with Polymorph. Melts at 60 degrees and very easy to dye and work. Keep up the good work! Cheerz! Rtz |

The material is white delrin. It machines very nicely and does not melt at 60 degrees. I want to run my trucks in the summertime. The frame is .120 1/2" square tube ripped in half and the tube is 3/16" & 1/4" brake line. The body panels are like 20ga aluminum? Maybe thinner.

The front coils are some old AE RC10 front silvers I had laying around, and the rear quarter eliptical I ghetto fabbed out of some 5/8 shipping banding. Cheap, and it supports the rig, for now.

Thanks. It's been on the shelf for a while now. Been trying to get the 1:1 back on the road/trail.

This rig will get a 55t Tekin. My Super run 10t Pullers ONLY. My 2.2 will also be snapping axles with a 10t.

any idea what weight the rig will be ? Is this for fun and show or are you going to try and do some hill holding with strong drag brakes ? Just asking because my integy did not last long on my 1/8 super, wouldn't want that to happen to you. | |
