[Juan Cortez]

Ok, first pictures of how my crawler is changing..

I am really liking this chassis.

[motormad]

Looks great. Love the wheels.

 

[spidy]

is that the f 350 wheele and tire set? i cant wait to see more. well i guess ive got to... "thumbsup"

 

[kevinlongisland]

Yes, those are the f350 tires and wheels. We have those tires available on the store.

 

[spidy]

theres a few things im planning on buying from the store. you guys have alot of really great items...

 

[Juan Cortez]

Thanks every one..!

Yes those are the F350 wheels set, I really like those.
I should stop by my lhs. and home depot to buy things I need. I hope my L.H shop will have shocks that I could use. The stock ones would not work as good, I believe they are a little to big..!
So far it has been really fun building this.

Thanks to all.

p.s. I could use some suggestions on shocks. In fact suggestions will be welcome, I have no idea what kind to get.

im going to be using mini lst shocks when i get mine to start. ive got a few extra sets sitting around...

can you post some pictures of those shocks ?? Like I said, I have no idea which way to go with that....
Thanks in advance.

Great looking chassis if I do say so myself"thumbsup"

Really man that looks great!

You can use almost any shock you would like, if you want a lower ride height though just get any shorter shock.

Even plastic traxxas shocks will work fine. I am sure you will find something that will work great.

Whats the wheel base???:lol:

 

[Juan Cortez]

Ok, It is running now, I have finish the chassis assembly and also added the
electronics. My Crawler is moving. The battery tray comes up next. I have not
figure out how will I go with that. Perhaps the HPI Wheelie King battery box.
I decided to use the stock shocks for right now, and it works very good, however
I will replace them later on with some thing better looking.
This is my first try at RC, Crawlers, however I have to say that it is really fun.

The wheel base I have is 12 ¼”

Looks great guys. Nice placement of the body mounts Juan.

The entry date for the 1.9 build off was extended, so you can still enter if you feel like taking me up on my offer "thumbsup"

 

[backtomyroots]

I'm not sure how I missed this chassis but I just pre-ordered one from the next batch "thumbsup" ! Looking forward to building something a little bit more scale looking .

 

[Ax-10Canadian]

Just order my X-Trail! What weight of oil should i use in the stock shocks without springs?

 

[killjoyken]

Finally finished my x-trail...well, almost. Still need to finish reducing 2 more rock lizards (didn't want to try reducing for the first time on good tires) and paint and mount the body. I was originally going to run Tamiya rock cruisers, but they looked a little too small for the Bronco.

The MLST shocks don't have a lot of travel, but it should be enough. The silver springs are too stiff and it won't articulate without weight in the wheels. I'll have to order the soft losi white springs since I won't be able to get too much weight in the 1.9s.

That's a sweet ride. Those tires definitely go much better with the Bronco
