Well,here is what I've been working on.Hopefully it will be real close this weekend but still waiting on the radio.......had to send it in for the update (4pl).But other than that I think i have everything else here to finish it up! nope forgot I have steering coming from Turbofest......and a battery mount from Bigron.......& motor skids,ok ok so I'm not as close as I thought! but would like to say thanks to Everyone in this section for the help (I've asked Jeremyh so many questions I'm surprised he has'nt put me on ignor,Lol) but seriously everybody I have bothered with stupid questions has been very pleasant to talk to and very informative & I really appreciate that! I'll try to take some better pics tomorrow..........believe it or not my shop has 9 times the light it shows in these pics,but seem to have come out a little dark.................oh thats right,I was going to Bestbuy to buy a new camera.Oh well.

Looking damn good! What's the WB?

Now, let's see some more pics of that ride in the background!

scottkerley · 02-24-2011, 06:51 PM

Jeremy, go back & read the post again..............I added something I think you'll enjoy

scottkerley · 02-24-2011, 06:53 PM

Anyway it's at 16 in the pics,seems a little short? I was thinking of going to jato longs ....I think I could get another 1-1.5" over the revo's

4xFord · 02-24-2011, 07:08 PM

Stetch that beast out to 18 for sure. Anything less with those big tires looks silly. That should also drop it a bit for a low, long, and mean look.

scottkerley · 02-24-2011, 07:11 PM

Yeah,I also thought it looked a little too tall myself,& I do like the long low look that your's & Jeremy's has!

Haha....thanks....and you're welcome.

Oh, and definitely stretch that thing out a bit...

scottkerley · 02-24-2011, 08:25 PM

I'll try to get the jato's on tomorrow & see where the wheelbase ends up,then I'll take a pic with the "Model A" as the background.

doors4u · 02-25-2011, 12:25 PM

What brand are those wheels?

scottkerley · 02-25-2011, 02:34 PM

BWD Supers

doors4u · 02-25-2011, 04:11 PM

GREEDY GENIUS · 02-25-2011, 04:52 PM

scottkerley · 02-25-2011, 09:26 PM

Just curious,do you need to split the gearcase to lube the gears?

You can probably just apply the grease liberally to the pinion as it is in motion and the grease should spread to the other gears.

jlsandkes · 02-26-2011, 07:14 AM

Keep the updates coming. I purchased this chassis and links when they first became available, but I haven't done anything with them since (except install Revo rod ends which now it looks like I will have to change to Jato anyway) . I am really interested to see how it performs and I think you will be the first

to get one up and running.

scottkerley · 02-26-2011, 10:12 AM

Actually I think bpd964 has his up & running & is using the same chassis I believe...............it came out very nice !

Looking good so far bud.

I love the list of parts you are using on your build. You are gonna have one sweet super.

scottkerley · 02-26-2011, 03:43 PM
