Default Looneybin's BAMF

Well unsatisfied with the current selection of nice bashers, monster trucks, and short course rides i decided to build my own. BAMF begins with a slash 4x4 platinum edition. i wanted the durability and parts availability of the platform but i wanted more of a bada$$ all around truck. little class 3 flare, sort of crawler looking appearance but good all around performance. check it out.........

pretty much brand new slash 4x4 PE bumpers hacked....


little tire upgrade.......










this is just the start. going to fab up a nasty front bumper for a hardcore class 3 look, as well as a simple inner cage with mounts for stacks out back. going to pick up some wider offset wheels to eliminate the little bit of body rub left. already laid out the wild paint job as well. going to be dropping the gear ratio dramatically as well.

for the record the f-350 body fits the chassis very well even with the stock tires.

Just get some wheel spacers and stick with those wheels. Looks awesome by the way.

no cutting required. swapped back to the og wheels because i like the overall width. had to cut the body but the tubework should make up for it.
