JohnRobHolmes · 06-11-2006, 04:27 PM

Those beadlocks look mighty slick.

You had any time with the motor?

lowandslow · 06-11-2006, 04:39 PM

My pleasure. The drive shafts are working well. Don't have a lot of time on the motor yet. Just some playing around in the yard. Need to go find a pile of rocks and see what it can do. The motor seems very smooth and powerful.

hey
nice build
can i see a body off shot
im almost done building my sw2
and i also have a bronco body and im painting mine black aswell

lowandslow · 06-11-2006, 08:14 PM

I see you also have good taste.

SW2 almost there...

iwantoffroad · 06-11-2006, 08:27 PM

could i see how you mounted the body

for the front did you use the ones that came off the tlt?
and back something else?

that and the driveshfts are the last thing to do
i did the same as you
metal yokes on the axle end and the plastic on the tranny end
i messed up the yokes trying to fit them to the driveshafts and now i am trying to figure how the driveshafts mount to the plastic outdrives

lowandslow · 06-11-2006, 09:26 PM

Yes, the fronts are stocl TLT and the backs are from and HPI body post kit. It comes with different sizes and works out real nice.

use the metal U-joints pictured here, they are tricky to get in and it seems like they will fit, but how in the world do you get them in? Just use some force and pop em in, it helps to heat up the metal joints, or bend the yokes lightly to get the joints in. Once they pop in your done! good luck

thanks CrawlAZ
but i cant get these to fit

Ok, got it dirty and scratched up tday. Crawles pretty well but I do still have a few things to tweak. So far so good...

J_Bone · 06-17-2006, 01:52 PM

What shocks did you end up wtih?

Nice truck!!!!

lowandslow · 06-17-2006, 04:05 PM

T-Maxx shocks and Losi springs.

Looks real clean. Any pics with the shell off showing the brushless setup.
Are you running LiPo's?

onlyinajeepxj · 06-18-2006, 08:53 AM

Looks great. I like how it has less and less body as the pics progress.

ColquittCustom405 · 06-18-2006, 08:57 AM

This is my new wallpaper! Sweet looking rig!

lowandslow · 06-18-2006, 10:50 AM

Thanks. I have a larger size if you want it.

lowandslow · 06-30-2006, 07:51 PM

Here's a few updated pics. Decided I didn't like the Bronco that much so I did a Rock Pleazer.

Much better

mudtruk82 · 07-01-2006, 08:54 AM

what kind of battery are you using and how much run time do you get
thanks
