| Mat's Ham-mer Sandwich
Bought my TH second hand a little while back, didn't see the point of buying new as I planned to hack and replace most of it sooner or later lol First mod was to chop the rear cage and lose the rear over hang....but I still wanted the spare wheel on there and the battery up back because the truck is so nose heavy. Some thinking and head scratching and I came up with this....... I used an old XR10 battery plate (I think it is!!) and some cable clips..... I fitted the stock wheel mount to the plate and the whole lot swings up out of the way enough to change the battery. Quick and easy to release with a pull of a body clip.... I've given it a good testing cart wheeling the truck for 15ft after jumps and so far so good lol!! |

The shocks were from Asiatees and I think they are scx10 ones from topcad. Took my TH to the recent King of the Valleys event here in South Wales and got the top 3 drivers to sign the roof lol! BTW they loved the truck Cant wait for next year!! | |

I really like the look of them on there but I had to shave the knuckles down because the where rubbing badly. Decided against it in the end because I eventually want to get the Vanquish castor blocks and knuckles and I don't want to be filing them down!! lol | |

That is a fantastic looking TH! What made you decide to change the wheels and tires as seen in your original post? The new combo looks great too, just wondering... Steve |
