Thanks DJ, I hope to wheel with you again at nats

why the white rear hubs?

There actually silver, it was testors aluminum paint but when I through clear over them they got a lil weird looking, I was hoping it would be a weathered look :?

Some of you may have been following my thread here: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122627&highlight=Bruiser On the custom 12mm Bruiser axles my clone is now sporting. Well the conversion is finally complete, minus a custom set of wheels;-). I finished mounting the rear shocks and thought I'd share some pics.

Its now wearing some new Eritex dirty dozen tlt offset beadlocks. These wheels are AWESOME. Great price point and have the BEST off set of any 1.9 beadlock wheel to date.

The track width is even better then when I have the rc4wd wagon wheels on it.

With the Bruiser axles I had to drill some new holes in the Juggsterr rear shock mount and I also made some lower mounts out of some old clodzilla lift mounts...Cut them in half, bent them up in the vice, drilled a hole and sprayed them black.

Last but not least, something that this truck has been missing since day one...

Scale Off Road Snorkel "thumbsup"

008.jpg


Considering how much I play in the water with this truck I figured itll look a little bit scaler when the water is over the hood if the snorkel is still above:lol:. It was suppose to go on my XJ, but after mocking it up on the clone, I had to put it on...ill order another one for the Jeep.

The damn batteries on the camera died before I could get a shot of the rear flex...still not fully tucking them but pretty damn close.

Sooo.... does anyone want a sneak peak at the custom wheels;-)
