Default "Submarinish" F-350 updates.....

After my last little "exursion" I decided that the front end looked like crap so I decided to play with it a bit.





I am NOT happy with the skid on the front, it's stronge as heck and it's actualy on there right (I know it looks cocked to the right in the pics) but there's just something about it.

I am happy with my new radio/esc mount which gives me a total of 5" of fording capabilitys, that means I can go threw water deeper than the top of the hood . I could go deeper if I wanted because the sides of the radio plate are radiused for strength but I dont think I'll try 8O

I also mounted a spare in the bed with an extra drivehshaft I had laying around just for fun. I'm eagerly awating the Hi-lift that should be here tommarro aswell

Nice, looks very scale with the hard body and Mud Terrains. How is your servo holding up to the water?

Your making me regret selling my Pajero.

Thanks alot guys, Custom it still works just fine, as does everything else-water tends to have next to no effect on 90% of a truck in my experience.

I just bought some of those on eBay for $9.70/pair, let me look up the seller I bought them from, pretty sure he had 10+ sets left

*edit* jr-rc is the guys name, link to the auction, looks like he has 11 sets left
