I like the way the truck is working as it sits. maybe down the line I'll look into getting some shorter shocks to mount vertically above the axle housing...

some junfac wheel spacers came in today, I believe they're the 13 mm ones. not sure if I like them, what do you guys think. I had to modify the center pin to fit properly since my rs10 center pin for the hex nut was bigger than what the junfac spacer was machined for. I made it work though.

now you need fender flares to make it street legal in most states


oh wait, this is a toy... looks good
I know that with the rs10 the extra 1/2" at each wheel really helped with rollovers and specially
with the tires rubbing on the links, shocks, and motor wires
what is the overall width with the spacers?

Back again made some more mods to the truck, pushed the battery as far as I could get and also added a front bumper. Front bumper didn't come out to well but that battery mod came out great and helps with adding weight to the front end.
