Assembeled pics
 

Here are a few pics of the assembled truck. The ears on the top plates are for body mounts. I was able to lower the body about an inch over the stock revo mounts. As you can see the bed of the body is about 3/16" above the rear shocks. I have a few things to clean up before it's fisnished, but hopefully I'll have time to do it this weekend.

That looks very nice! I see that its an all out racer! My g2r is in weight loss club, ill get some snapshots of it, im worried that the ears might snap on you under a hard roll? (lets knock on wood)

That thing looks like a serious racer. The low body and stuff is kicking.

Very nice Chris. I love the carbonfiber, (still looking for somebody to make me some carbonfiber rims :004:), nice work. Put that thing on a scale for us and let us know what she weighs. Looks pretty light.

Man that thing is sick! Nice design. I wouldn't mind lower my body somehow like that. Awesome job!!!

Hey, this is a really good idea, and a very nice truck! Congrats!

You just gave me something to think about, Cristo. I am trying to figure out a body for my G3R these days.

Thanks for sharing!!

Woo, that truck is wicked :) I like the carbon fiber and the rims!

The motor is sitting relative high in comparison with the other parts. Can't you build a center diff in your truck and lower the motor? Then the truck would have a very low CG!

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Sylvester - I'm worried about snapping the ears off too :) Time will tell

JOHNNYMAXXIMA - The truck weights about 7.5 lbs without electronics (but including motor).

Dafni - The Body I used is a proline extended F350 Maxx body. It's fit's pretty good. The wheelbase is just about right.

Jasper - I'm waiting for Dafni to tell us whether a slipper is needed before I think of building a center diff tranny that lowers the motor.

Thats one sick truck CCristo!!! :D:D

Very nice! I love the rims...

:eek: i bet that thing looks mean from a front angle shot. what wheels are those?

stampy those are hurricanes dyed in black.

the tires are crimefighters right? did you trim the tires or did you just stretch them over the wheels

actually i think those are the responses made by traxxas.

ah the tread looks crimefighter ish lol
