Roid V4
 

I made some drastic changes to my TXT this week. The scale look I once had is now thrown out the window.

I reconfigured my shocks. Changed the both the upper and lower mounting positions. This setup is extremly simple.

Relocated my upper links and straightened the bent ones.

Relocated my ESC. The body mount took it's spot.

I was forced to relocate my body mounts, so now they are on the side. It reminds me of some clods I have seen only better because it has big fat shafts! :flipoff:

I will be trimming my body some more tonight.

My rig stats are now:

16" WB
~4" center clearance

Re: Roid V4
 

Thanks, Yep Revo shafts. IMO the only way to go since they are so easy to mount and SOOO beefy!

I'd rather have none than 2!!! Having none means I can play with my boobs. Having two would make me really uncomfortable :puke: :flipoff:

Re: Roid V4
 

soooo how does it work? is there anything you would change about it???

Re: Roid V4
 

I don't know yet, I have only crawled it in my garage over the piles of clothes that my lazy wife should be washing. :lol:

I'll let you know more tomorrow or Sunday when I put a woopin on the nor-cal guys! :wink:

Re: Roid V4
 

I like it Badger, looks like it means biznez. :twisted: 8)

I liked the way it looked before better, but I understand why you changed it.
The only problem is, now everyone else will change so that they can keep up. Then everybody will be equal just like before except you can climb bigger rocks and the scale look is dead. :( Been there.

With all that said, Roid is looking good though. :twisted: 8)

Re: Roid V4
 

Yeah I agree. I told myself I would not try and turn this into a comp rig and dammit I just can't stop moddin it! I did really like it when it looked scale but it just did not perform as well as I wanted.

I plan on getting on the TLT scale band wagon so that will be my scale truck.

And if this dumb ass kid ever gets back to me I might get my hands on a bruiser that will be crawled and not stored.

Re: Roid V4
 

Hell yea, no bruiser should live its life on a shelf!

Re: Roid V4
 

Hey nice rig you got there! Looks mean! :twisted: I like the new changes you've made.

I'm curious about your battery configuration and how you remove it. From the pics it looks kinda hard to reach. Is it still easy to get to?

Re: Roid V4
 

Thanks.

You must have missed my thread on my skid plate mounted battery system. I love it, and it s actually extremly easy to replace the battery and I do not have to take my body off. 8)

Re: Roid V4
 

the skid plate pivots and is held in place by body clips. It's pretty sick. but don't tell Badg, his head might swell.

Re: Roid V4
 

Looks great! :mrgreen:

I see a loose screw.......:wink:

Re: Roid V4
 

Yup guess I missed that one :oops: Man, that's a great execution of that swiveling skid plate idea. I've had the concept floating in my head for a while but haven't been able to think of a good way to do it. Great job! Really giving me a better picture of how to re-do mine :D


I can't wait to see a video of it now! :wink:


Could this be a clod killer? :twisted:




Oh and dont worry, I've got more than a few screws loose........... unfortunately they're all in my head :roll:

Re: Roid V4
 

With the weight being so low it does crawl pretty well. And now with my new shock setup I am hoping it does better up steep inclines. 8)

As far as it being a clod killer - Shiiiit this thing has been a clod killer since it was a baby! :flipoff:

Yeah swaped out that shock for a new one and forgot to put the nuts on those two bolts. :lol: The driver of ths truck has always had a few screws loose! :lol:

Re: Roid V4

Re: Roid V4
 

I have never ran a GD600 in my TXT, I have always had a mammoth in there.
