Default An overdue build thread

Been having this truck for a while now, thought I should share some pics Better late than never
This is an on going project. After I make up my progress I will continue with my latest mods..

Here are the things I first got for the truck:
-Integy 35t
-Traxxas 2075. Need something stronger.
-Some LRP ESC sitting in my drawer for years, planning to get an XL-5 waterproof.
-Hitec standard servo for shifting

Now be prepared: pics, lots of pics... Hope you guys enjoy my photos!

Okay I'm back for some pics after painted the body.














Then I broke a shock.



But it still runs like nothing happened



Okay this is pretty much how it looks a few days ago. I'm starting some cosmetic changes as well as other upgrades.

Glad to see someone from China. I'm Chinese, too.

Some updates:
I'm not satisfied with the paint, so I decided to change it. The kind of color I wanted was like this:


So first I started to wash the old paint and put another primer on the body, also made a customized bumper out of polystyrene bars.



I ordered a set of 1.55 Iroks from RC4WD. Killer tires





And also made myself a half topper out of ABS.


And... started painting. The wife helped me with the color selection.

Some recent updates:

Tried the Irok tires. The front leaf spring rubs the tire badly when turning. Might need to 3 link the front.








Also made the rear view mirrors. Hope they hold better than the stock.

What size were the IROC's you have trouble with? 1.9 or 2.2's?

a slightly wider hex might help with the leaf spring rubbing on the front
