another newb tube

[Wrecker]

That thing is way sweet looking, but drop it down a couple of inches. It looks pretty rediculous that high. Drop it down to 4-5" of gc, a lower cog is much better than a high gc. With that this so high your cog will be way the he!! up there and flip over in any off camber situation. Just my 2 cents.

wow sorry, I didnt realize that this was costing you any money. Just make notes and ill pay ya what I owe ya.

Tuber looks great, but I hope its going to be lower.

 

[knok2222]

Ya as the chassi is now, I have to get axle wideners before the moabs will clear the chassi when it articulates. so a couple inches wider and it will be fine. Then we can drop it down to about level with the axles, where it will stay.

Some pics of my daughter sitting on it. She just wanted to eat it lol.:lol:

But for some reason she wanted to cry when i had the tires next to her LMAO! couldnt be the trauma endured during this crawling session!"thumbsup"

Cool... A game of run the child over...

Looks good. Now build me one.... LOL

Well I have it setting with the belly pan at 5" and it looks alot better at that height.

Yeah, that sounds much better. Should be pretty sweet.

Cant find my black chrome axial 8spoke beedloks anywhere! the hobby shop said they can get the plain chrome ones now but the black chrome is still on backorder. Now im faced with a dilema, do I "settle" for somthing similar, or do I wait to get what I really want? AHHHH!!!!

WAIT!!!!!!!
Those black chrome 8 spokes are badazz!
You know you'll just end up buying them when they come in stock anyways, so you either end up with two sets of wheels or just save your $$.:lol:

yup ,whats the point of paying money for something you don't like?
if you're paying for something get what you want

 

[knok2222]

Ya, im not settling for anything. and your right, those 8spokes are the shheeeite. I have talked to the reps at axial and they havnt even got them in stock yet so it will be a while it looks like. Worth the wait though. those black chrome's with the red skull rings will be really nice. For powder coat im going with a black with copper "veins" running in it. Should really look badA$$!

Finally!!!

:twisted: Finally back on track. Hunting season here in Washington has been keeping me busy, but thankfully my S$*t finally came in. I got the black 8 spoke Axail Beadlocks with the Red Skulls rings. I think they look awsome, I changed my mind on the black chrome just because you cant go wrong with flat black in my opinion. Also I feel that the black chrome would have peeled after so long anyway. Along with the wheels and rings I got a set of losi shocks, and the hard to find SUPER soft white springs. SO here are some pics for tonight of whats in store. Im just glad to be moving foward again!

Glad to see this project hasn't been abandoned Jesse. Still hoping to see you at a comp once you get it finished up.

 

[knok2222]

Yes, I am VERY glad I was able to pull off the extra money this close to the holidays. Lotta overtime down at les schwabs with the snow last month. So now I just need to track down Double J so I can get my links and start piecing my suspension together. All of you in Wa right now should know that power is scarce the last coulpe days, and the guy that has my tuber and tires hasnt answered his phone in 2 days. Im sure just due to loss of power. But im chomping at the bits to mount these wheels up. I know they are going to look REALLY good. To any of you looking for new wheels, Axial really builds a nice product. I wasnt sure how strong they would be with the spoke design. but im telling you, just feeling them in your hand, they are tuff. Built really nice.

More pics should be coming as soon as I get my stuff back home, and my power is turned back on. Currently camping at grandma's house where there is heat!

 

[knok2222]

Ok i know i have way to many pics in this build now but I like the feedback so here are some more. I F'd up and forgot one tire out at Samota's house tonight so I was only able to mount up 3 of my beedlocks. and I still need wheel wideners and adaptors to bolt them to the axles, but why should that stop me from taking some poser pics LOL! I had to see what she would look like. what do you think?

Does anyone know where I can get some 12 to 17mm adapters?

 

[hardin316]

those wheels look sick....nice choice
