So i started out with a standard BND and added a bronco body i found at target (not exactly scale)  Well a couple weeks ago i found a better one in the for sale section, so now i will be stretching to get the right wheel base  Bought some aluminum wheels from RPP   And i have a set of so real boggers on the way, what do you think? |

| did you get the urethane swampers? Once you stretch them over the wheels they end up the same diameter as the stock tire. The only problem is they are a bit narrow for the wheel, so the back side of the wheel sticks out a bit past the tire which sucks also i hope yours are cast better than mine. I have smooth smears and air bubble holes in my tires. I will say they are pretty grippy but being a solid tire these wont perform as well as stock losi on rocks |

Thanks, not sure on the chassis yet probably just use the stock one for now and chop the upper shock mounts off. Depending on how much of the wheel is showing i might just cut the inside of the tire so it stretches and glue it to the wheel.thanks for the info  |

I finally finished this thing the other day, not really any build pics i was on a roll      Eventually i want to build the cage out of metal but it will make it real top heavy Last edited by AkFordfan; 09-14-2010 at 01:41 PM. |

/\ maybe brass in styrene tubing would do the trick? (for your cage.) I like that ford body, is that a playmobil toy ? |

The driver is, the body is off one of those cheap toys that just goes in a straight line.

Got some new upgrades today, Hot racing turnbuckles for a rc10 i think and used them for the rear links, and the hot racing straight axle. Looks pretty sweet, may have to get another turnbuckle kit to do the front links  |
