Thanks man, Haha i can't wait to see it finished either

This is looking good

Theres a guy on streetsource.com and he built a rc tundra that lays full rocker and all the susp. runs off of air he used the air componets off of a autococker paintball gun. One of the truck shows we attend had a guy with his rc truck lexan body but it was still badass becuase it actually dragged and threw sparks.

I was going to do the same thing and still have parts to do it but i planned on useing these flint rocks from the razor scooters. They make this bar with dime sized flint rocks across it and it will fit perfect under the bodys i picked mine up at walmart for a couple$

But be careful they are for professionals

yeah i seen them, one of mates had one and he twisted his ankle being stupid on it haha.

i had lights half wired up at the moments and am working on getting the steering servo and rear diff mounted up.
also i've changed how the suspention will be set up. i have some fuel back pressure fittings for the exhausts of nitro cars, im going to make my own hydrolic suspention. should work a lot better i think, and look pretty cool

schuler · 09-01-2010, 01:02 AM

Oh ok, fair enough Haha

schuler · 09-08-2010, 03:30 AM

Finally got the front end done pretty much, the servo and everything is all set up. Only thing left to do on the front is to mount the shocks when they are done.
Will post pics of the front tomorrow and hopefully get some of the shocks finished and working
