It is freakin' coming down here, right now. They'll be a little local flooding for sure if this keeps up.

I was on my way down. I was about 20 mins away, and it was pouring, so I turned around. What time did you stay till?

Looks cool. I think you're onto something there. I wonder if mounting the battery under the upper chassis would help the CG when it gets off camber?

BrandonW · 06-25-2006, 01:48 PM

that truck looks awesome man, i cant wait to see what your making for a top.

S-Dog · 06-25-2006, 01:51 PM

the COG is surprisingly low... if you looked at my buildup the originall mock up had the batteries underneath... it severly limited travel up and down in the rear hinge.... the batteries will definatley have to be played with...

and noob... dont hold your breath my fabbing skills are suck at best...build a body will be interesting ....at best

BrandonW · 06-25-2006, 03:35 PM

your fab skills are far greater then mine, i dont even have the materials or machines to bend a piece of metal.

S-Dog · 06-25-2006, 05:19 PM

all Home Depot aluminum and any bending is with pliers..... hehee
