I had absolutely no parts on hand other then the 1/6th Ram body from my New Bright. All other parts were ordered from various vendors here and ebay. Thanks to CPE and TCS for providing a number of parts. A HUGE thanks to STANG KILLA SS for all the help, tips and recommendations on this. I'm still learning as I go... I will be putting together a file for other newbies of all the parts required for a build like this. It will list the parts, descriptions, approx. prices and where I got the item.

If you have some extra $ left over invest in a 7 cell battery, you can run 8.4 volts through the moped. It maks so much of a difference when runing 7 cells.

true the 40 slingers would be sweet. they are even bigger though, just be aware of that. and it may be awhile before there released.  take your tire off, set it on a piece of paper, trace around it. then free hand making the wobbly parts of the circle allitle smoother arc. then cut the circle out and use if for a template to trim the fenders. like this, youll note the circle touches the two upper corners. you just be removeing a hair above teh stock opening, and some (more) on the sides. then you can lower teh body on the monster truck lol  |

Well I didn't finish the Ram body yet because it's really useless if I want to crawl, but I did get my Rubicon body painted. Not bad for a first timer eh?    |
