i'll post some more pics a lil later fellas. mine's def not as nice as a lot of the other nice rigs. mine's pretty basic w/lil cosmetic flair. all the goodies are on the inside lol.

Fuel vent


Inserted o-ring in gas cap


Alfred mod


xq servos for throttle & steering


7075rc front/rear hubs w/oversized bearings


aluminum gear plate & pinion holder w/oversized bearings


ddm dominator pipe

ngk spark plug


lowered the body post & trimmed truck plastic as low as it goes


tuned the suspension to where the cvd's & dogbones are angled just before being level


replaced wheel nuts & flat washers w/lock washers & stainless steel lock nuts <-- don't do this. the plastic is too soft. just loctite them on.


that's all for now but i have a list of other desired parts lol.

i did some trimming. i'm not done but i am mostly done. i wanted to lower the body more. i didn't like seeing daylight between the lower body & the chassis. it also made my rear wing more pronounced. most people people just button the wing to the bed. i wanted something that looked lil different. i've never cut lexan before. i watched some vids on boobtube which helped. i got using the razor down pretty good. it's a lot like pin striping some what lol. anyways, not the prettiest job but it's a basher body so it's all good. plus, i have an extra xt body as i put an xb body on my son's xt. i bought some wheels/nobby tires just like these nobby's but they are a lil taller at 7.125" (7 1/8"). the fronts are 2.75" wide & the rears are 3" wide. i think this will look better. i noticed that the rears track a lil more inside than the fronts. i bought the rc pitstop wheel adapters which have the oem offset & the ramtech adapter's from rampage hop ups which have a slight added offset. i will try the rc pitstop ones on the front & the ramtech ones on the rear to make up for the narrower rear offset. also, i don't know if y'all can see but i trimmed the front side of the front wheel wells open a lil more. i think it noticeably looks better.

I wanna give a shout out to 7075rc, rampagehopups, rcpitstop & rampageshop. They helped me tremendously & took very, very good care of me. These people are the creme de la creme of people to do business with & will ensure that you are a happy customer. Thank you. I am very happy. :)
 
Nice looking truck! Im thinking about doing the same as far as making mine into a truggy. im just curious did you change your gearing?
