Well, that worked out pretty damn well. Looks like a clean little relocation.

Yeah there wasn't much to it and I just happened to have a link the right length. I didn't even have to make one, so that was nice.

Well tonight I got the 12mm hex conversion done.





And got my new VP OMF wheels mounted up.



They're a little big for the truck but that's okay, so were the ones that came with it. I'm digging the look!

Ha, thanks guys. I definitely need to pull the transmission and adjust the slipper. Now that it's got some tires with real traction it's slipping way too easy.

Default JHTreyIII's Bruiser Build
So I want to do a set of lights for this rig. I've decided to use one of heyok's controllers and piece all of the lighting together by itself. This is significantly cheaper than one of the Tamiya kits but should still give me the same functionality including operating brake lights, reverse lights, headlights and marker lights. Heyok's controller was $37 with shipping and then I spent about $20 on LED's, wire and resistors. There will be 14 separate lights operating here. Most of them are 3mm with only the headlights at 5mm. As I start to piece the kit together I'll post how i did it here.
