MORE PICS ON PAGE 2!!

Yes wedge pics. please."thumbsup"

What's a wedge doohicky?

Is that really a 1/4 scale servo?? Can barely find enough room for a standard on mine. LOL

Looks pretty good
Only one thing, Why do u call it BMvii while it isnt a BMVii??
It looks like it but...
Lets see the wedge!!!!"thumbsup"

looks good! id like to see some body off shots and wedge shots also. got any video?

Looks good, love to see your take on the wedge!"thumbsup"

We need body off shots!!

looks good on the outside....

off body pics please!!!! and how did you cram a 1/4 onto a BMV2KO?:?:

I'll sec. that,can't tell nothing with body on.I'm going torsion even though some say It's crap so help a fellow torsion guy with some idea's.The rear lock is a good start,and working on wege but not sure if I need front clearence too.

pics are loading while we speak.
the servo is kind of something i made. its got a 1\4 servo motor inside.i cramed it in there and used the cirrus case to cover it all.
i also have a fornt wedge. some people say it messes with your sterring but i havent run into any problems.
PICS ARE UP!!! AND DRAWING ON FIRST POST!!

I can see changing the angle of the steering diff. would hurt the steering and the front pinion really wouldn't hang up so i think I will just space the front higher but I like your rear lock out,can you post a pic of them?

sure can ill post some 2morow! its too dark now.

Well a little update.I got out on the rocks today but my dumb A$$ forgot the camera:roll: :oops:. Im hoping to go out again tomorow but i dont know.Im in the prosess of getting a new charger and a new battery pack. i only hav 100$ .I need opinions and suggestions!!
thanks

sorry, i have heard of the wedge before, but what is it, does it rotate the rear pinion upwards. Thanks
Oh yeah, nice looking rig, i think the bmvii is a very clever idea.

thats exacly what it does.
thank you!

Elite 1500's 2/3 A from cheapbatterypacks and the Piranha charger.

Should be able to get the charger and 2-3 packs for $100.00!"thumbsup"

I second dez, those batteries are great! I just picked up two triangle 6 packs for like $42 from cheap battery packs and they fit nicely.

Thanks thats what i had in mind. So what do you guys think of the wedge??

It looks great.Have you had any problems side loading? Did you add any weight to the tires?You'll love that batt. pack,got mine a week ago and they are killer.
