I finally got to take this truck for a real shakedown run.....and it performed very nicely! I still need to change a few things on the radio, but overall, I am VERY happy!

Here are some action shots:

Sure looks sharp Jeremy "thumbsup", The white really shows off against those beach rocks.

Re: Ivory
 

Thanks Bob! "thumbsup"

Re: Ivory
 

Looks so killer. I think these skinny super tires are why I keep narrowing my 2.2's so much. Been on a skinny tire kick since I started studying the super forum.
BTW-Just picked another 3.5 tons of 120 pound class riprap.:mrgreen:

Re: Ivory
 

Haha! Awesome! "thumbsup"

Those tires arent narrowed at all. They sit on 1.6" wide rims and measure 2.5" mounted up. Oh, and they stick like glue to the rocks down on the beach!! "thumbsup"

Re: Ivory
 

Truck looks to be doing great!

Re: Ivory
 

Damn. I bet they are less work than these skinny 6" donas im making. Lol
And doesn't everything stick like glue in Galveston? :flipoff:

Re: Ivory
 

I dont know about that....they took me 3 months to build! :ror:

Moabs probably suck there... :lol:

Re: Ivory
 

Loven the fresh look of the white;-)

Re: Ivory
 

Thanks Hulksta! "thumbsup"

Re: Ivory
 

x2 on the white, that rig is sexy"thumbsup"

Re: Ivory
 

x 2; very sexy:)"thumbsup"

Re: Ivory
 

Rig looks great. I've been following this build for a while. Everytime I see this crawler I want to sell all my black stuff and buy white.

Re: Ivory
 

A few finishing touches on this truck before it is ready for ACC.

v84x4 from SuperShafty.com contacted me with something new that he had been working on for the Kyosho RT5 Velvet shocks....a cap for a rod end conversion. I have always had to a bit of trouble on all my trucks keeping the stock cap out of the chassis...these new rod ends take care of that! They also make the shocks slightly longer which should be perfect for this truck. Also, with the stock plastic caps, I have found that if you overtighten them, they will leak slightly...that should not be an issue with these caps.

The caps as they arrive:

Next to a stock cap:

And how my truck sits now:

Perfect! "thumbsup"

Re: Ivory
 

Looks good Jeremy. Good luck at ACC. "thumbsup"

Re: Ivory
 

Thanks Dave! It should be a fun comp!

Re: Ivory
 

Is your passenger rear lower bent more then drvs side? I know the pic has some angle but it seems more then the front link differences.

Looks good btw

Re: Ivory
 

It does look that way in that picture, but they are the same. "thumbsup"

Re: Ivory
 

Interesting.
