Nope not bad at all!

but I guess if you built that 1:1 then hey " you got skills"

need some carbon fiber · 10-23-2006, 09:01 PM

That looks really good to me.

4link4eva · 10-24-2006, 02:26 AM

Right, I've changed my mind about this build, it looks awesome. I can't tell from the pics, but are you using tubes or rods? Since it's MIGed, I would imagine rod, but I'd like to make sure.

Cheers 8-)

knok2222 · 10-24-2006, 07:14 AM

Well being as im really frustrated with this stick I have im going to rob the axles and start puting them on the chassi. then start figuring out where I want to put the shock mounts. I guess any 4" shock would be good huh? What other link mounting options are out there? anything other than what RC4wd sells? that pretty much limits what you can do. Well any help with this would be great!

Scooteracing · 10-24-2006, 09:51 AM

What are you using to solder the tube together? Just regular wire solder.

knok2222 · 10-24-2006, 07:32 PM

knok2222 · 10-24-2006, 07:48 PM

Scooteracing · 10-25-2006, 06:24 AM

Well got my moab XL's in yesterday and I couldnt believe how big they were. didnt look that big in the pics on the net. make the nylint tires look small. Still waiting on my Axial beedlocks that are on backorder. How much have you guys narrowed them?

knok2222 · 10-29-2006, 08:40 AM

Added more to the belly for more height. Worried that the XL's are going to make the chassi look small, and dont want any rubb'n. Anyway heres what we got. What ya think?

redrustbucket · 10-29-2006, 11:10 AM

Sweet tuber. Those skidplates sure aren't going anywhere.

knok2222 · 10-29-2006, 09:39 PM

Scooteracing · 10-30-2006, 01:38 PM
