I guess I will have to make an excuse to get out and inspect the Munoz Bridge project. That is a cool place. Reminds me of Farmington.

It was a lot of fun out there and there was plenty left to explore. Definitely worth a trip out with a rig! We're definitely spoiled out here with the variety of terrain.

Here's the link to the thread I found the body mount idea in. This is a really nice rig!

No problem. That is one of my favorite rigs so far. Amazing fabrication all over it.

I like the bronco...Do you think your battery is too high, if you have problems rolling over...?

The battery is a little high. So is the motor. All part of the limitations of the stock chassis being so narrow. I could strap the battery to the upper links, but I wasn't really going for a competition rig. I was surprised at how well it actually does but it still needs some tweaking. I'll either go scale with it at some point or bulid a comp chassis for it, but for now I'm having fun with it.

What brand of body is that? It looks nice. Im looking for a body for my future build.

aircruiser · 07-20-2007, 11:06 PM

nice use of stock chassis there.

for me my next rig is going to be a budget custom chassis..everything for me is on a budget.

but my tlt is using the stock chassis (and tranny) and couldnt help but notice your user name (RAM2500) and the budget built TLT and your username reminds me of my TLT

a budget built stock chassis dodge ram 2500

looks like you got a nice clean built rig

That's an HPI Bronco body. HPI bodies are great, detailed really nice and wider than the Pro-Line bodies, makes for a good scale build.

It's an HPI body. It's held up really well to all the abuse. I've had to do some minor repairs with Shoe Goo, but other than that it's been great!

Thanks! You should see it now. It's held up really well to plenty of abuse. I've been really impressed with the stock chassis so far. The Ram looks great to!
