My gen8
 

Having a lot of fun with this thing! I went with the gen8 because it was cheap but it actually performs very well.

Re: My gen8
 

Your G8 looks great, who makes that body?

Looks like it was made for the G8.

Re: My gen8
 

If you are talking about the truck, I believe that is the new Pro-line Metric body...

Re: My gen8
 

Thanks for the info.

Rig looks great, love the color as well. 👍🏼

Re: My gen8
 

Thanks! Yup it’s the Proline Metric body.

Added a RC4WD mini Warn winch/controller and a Tekin ROC412 3100kv. Motor is awesome, very smooth and lots of power on 3s.

Re: My gen8
 

What pinion did you go with and how is your low end?

Re: My gen8
 

Trying a 12t right now and the low end seems good. I have 9-17 so I need to do more testing.

Re: My gen8
 

I ordered a 9t and a 13t specifically for this truck, just wondering if I end up going with the roc412 which I'll prefer.

Re: My gen8
 

Did some playing around and I think I like it best with a 10t pinion.

Had a wobbly lower link/panhard bar mount. The Exocaged RC (YouTube) homemade brace works like a charm! Hole measurements were on the money prior to making the jog bend.

Re: My gen8
 

Haven’t even had my G8 on the rocks yet and I’m fabbing up an Exo-Brace for mine.����

I’m trying to get ahead of any possible issues before they occurs.

Re: My gen8
 

Smart! 👍🏽

Re: My gen8
 

That metrics body looks great on there!

Thanks! I used Tamiya bright gun metal PS-63.

Re: My gen8
 

Brass links from Metal Fab by Reed came today and they looks great! Awesome craftsmanship and the lengths were all perfect.

Re: My gen8
 

the problem with exocages brace design is it takes the stress off the bracket but transfers the load to a tiny screw in the diff cover i bet that screw only holds maybe 2lbs of force if that i see that screw ether striping or taking out the axle housing itself if the truck takes a big tumble i braced mine off to the upper link mount i did move the track bar to the front side of the bracket then i just used a longer screw from the upper link and ran the extra in to a rod end then bolted the rod end to the lower panhard bar mount way more solid and it wont ruin the axle from a hard fall

and that bracket is so ugly it ruins the look of the axle the rod end blends right in with everything else under there
