Huh, coulda swore I just posted a reply to this one....................oh, that was somewhere else. Looks like a great pile of parts. Where did you get the snowboards?

The snowboards are by xgames and I can only find them on eBay, and they are VERY scale

looks pretty interesting.


im defantly keeping an eye on this

It just so happens that I took my son to Toys R Us today to use a gift card he had and I found the snowboards, had to pick up two for the future.

haha good! i need to stop by toys are us then!

pics?


and still no sign of the darn jeep, hong kong is killin me right now

No pics, they are for an undecided future build. Most likely will be another Jeep though with custom roof rack for the boards. Kind of the same idea that I think you have going. Will probably be a CC-01 chassis though.

The boards are both Burton, kinda biased towards them. (Many years ago that is what I rode). Do a search for Burton Safari 175 and see what comes up, you may get a clue to how old I am. I still have it, to bad the plastic on the bindings is shot. Also check out the Burton Performer, wish I still had that board.

Nice...I had those shocks and were way to stiff for mine...hope they work for you.

I like the snow boards. Kewl

I love snowbarding, on ur truck you need to tag it up with burton, lib-tech,forum,NEFF, ELECTRIC, foursqaure, specialblend, and more
!!!"thumbsup"

dang it, i was thinking they were going to be too stiff, crud, know of any other 80mm shocks that are less stiff?

Sounds like a damn sales pitch.....

How stiff are they? My CC-01 is pretty heavy with the body brackets and electronics box, so they might work ok on mine..

Just put some softer springs in them

wih factory springs I put my CC01 rear on a scale and just to make them move a little it took almost 3/4s of a pound..to bottom them out it took almost 6 pounds..that's a lot for our rigs...I also tried out MRC crawler shocks..to soft for me..I ended up getting envader shocks by duratrax from a member here, lots of springs to choose from and they are adjustable, I got 4 front shocks.

here we go!

the shocks are too stiff, so im getting these even though they are not the scalest looking things, its my only option im aware of, anyone know if they are any flexier?

Stay tuned!

bad news, got some gloss rustoleum army green, and the creases and cracks are staying white and so i put a couple more coats on and now the side step creases are covered:/ HELP! lol

i got it out in some light and its reallly not as bad as i thought after it dried a bit, i got it out and was quite pleased. so i whipped up a nice little tube trailer hitch, ill paint it soon and mount it up
