Looks sweet, Love that body looks bad on these trucks.


I have same wheels and rims how ya like them?


Whats the arm holder screw mod?

 

[dale_gribble]

Rather than retype it, take a look at my running build/run thread where I describe the mod.

Sweet thanks.

Sweet looking truck! I saw your article on rc universe, hope everything is working better for you now. What mods did you have to do to get the phatdad fan cover saver to fit properly?

 

[dale_gribble]

That fan cover saver is only necessary if you use the fan cover for the upper chassis brace mounts like I did. Otherwise there is no strain on it. Having said that, I think I just had to cut some of the length of the PhatDad brace back a bit to work with my mounts.


If your Rampage is stock and you don't run any braces or mounts from the fan cover, it will bolt right up.

We are doing a professional video this Saturday for Cow RC. The Rampage will get to prove itself this Saturday.

Thanks Dale, much appreciated! It fits even with the roll cage installed?

 

[dale_gribble]

Yes it does. These are the braces I run that I homemade from some 6061 and Baja 5B braces-

Here is the PhatDad cover. This ties the braces together.

 

[jeffp83]

Awesome! I ordered myself one of those fan braces, think I will try and do what you did with the braces... great idea!

What is the fan brace good for?

 

[dale_gribble]

The fan brace is just used to tie the custom braces I made together. If you aren't using the fan cover for a brace, you don't need the PhatDad mount.
