T1E ''Ti Fighter''

[86jeep]

Thought i would change things up alittle for worlds :shock:. Thanks Mike, Rockshow for hooking me up with this new chassis. Very nice,I lost 2oz of top weight and gained the ability to never have another 5 points for a rollover. I also has half to thank Steve at Vanquish for the new light weight wheels. I have switch to dual FXR's and a 4PK. Man the Radio is sweet"thumbsup". I have only had it for a week but it's already dial'ed in. Those guys did there home work on this one for sure, Im loving it.

G you weren't kidding! That thing looks good!

few little things you may try.

-space out the shocks @ the chassis 1/8'' or so

- 1/8'' or so spacers for uppers links @ the axle.

 

[Harvo]

X2 on spacing out the upper links at the axle (at least the rear).

Is that skidplate custom or is that actually a T1E option? That thing is sick!! "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

Not sure if I like the rounded cab for looks. Makes it hard to tell where the front is at a glance :?

How much weight did you loose in rotational mass?How are you liking it?

I know with my new setup I lost 14 ounces total and love it.

 

[Cycleeric]

Looks like that new Skid Plate will serve as a battery protector as well "thumbsup"

 

[86jeep]

Thanks, I will try the spacers.

Mike custom made the skid"thumbsup".

The look is differant but it performs great.

From the setup i used at crawlapalooza and ECC i have dropped 22oz :shock: yes 22oz of rotational mass. Im super light now but thats the only way i could get the rovers to work. I'm realy liking it alot its performing as good if not better than my last truck.

We've been working on a couple of ideals lately and this is the first to find it's way on a rig. I took a truck just like this to the Colorado event and was very happy with the way it preformed. We have 6 of these trucks around testing now to make sure they hold up.

The Ideal is PERFORMANCE 1st! Just like all Rockshow's......... We will work on looks later! You can also use the Cab from the 2 piece on here as well.


Greg, it looks great! I love the color. "thumbsup"

 

[cars69]

I like that Skid Plate design. That chassis looks like it will roll right back on its wheels
alright. Good Job!

 

[rednck21]

when will this chassis be for sale?? :mrgreen:

 

[CRSMacgyver]

Looks great 86jeep!

I also have one of the testers and I will be running it this weekend at the Southern Cup. Haven't gotten a lot of time to test with all the rain we have had lately here in NC but it worked well at the comp I ran in MD a couple weeks ago.

It is definitely all about function but I like the looks as well.

Looking forward to getting it dialed in with a little less weight and my VP wheels that should be here monday.

Wow! 22 Ounces! My berg needs a diet.
