Which Chevy? Super's orange one is a Pro-Line body with RC4WD flares on an SCX-10 platform. The black one is mine, a Parma 57 Chevy pickup cab on a Boyer chassis.

The Parma full pickup body with the bed has a very short wheelbase (10.5"). I trimmed off the bed and closed the rear of the cab with a piece of lexan. It's painted silver on the inside, semigloss black outside, and the headlight holes were drilled out for Axial light buckets. The chassis is an RC4WD Boyer, and includes the steel cage, chassis rails, adjustable sliders and bumper. I did shorten the front frame rails an inch or so. Axial axles with overdrive/underdrive gears, aluminum C hubs, high steer knuckles, RC4WD 2 speed and stock SCX10 shocks. Custom 4 links, wireless winch, Pitbull tires and Gearhead beadlocks. I think that's everything  |

I have the C.I. 2 stage foams but my thought is that running in cold temps a softer foam might work better. Kinda like 1:1 snow tires are a softer compound rubber than regular tires. Or maybe I'm just trippin'  |

Email Crawler Innovations, tell them what you have, and ask what they recommend. Look at Lil Nova Foams. Crawler Foams Last edited by Super; 01-04-2015 at 09:02 AM. |

Who's ready for some trail runnin'? I've only got a few more things left to finish on our rigs and I'm ready. I think we should try and make our first spring run at Red Granite quarry, of course we will have to watch the weather and go from there. Who's interested? It would be cool to get a group together like we did last year.
