I put on TMaxx 3.3 Diffs, Knuckles, turnbuckles and axles. It is pretty sweet.

If you use the knuckles you have to use the turnbuckles.

why thanks dude!! glad you like!!!

erm, its just a standard Gmaxx chassis, no extension.....it may look that way coz the shell sits way low and gives it that lengthened look.

here's what the bodymounts look like...the one in front is bolted from the bottom, there's a stock hole in the middle of the "servoplate" and the rears (not extended bodypost btw..) are at the stock location.

the hard part was trimming the nose of the shell to fit/clear the various parts, eg shocktowers, oil resevoirs... even the upper suspension links under full compression.

finally got my rpm stuff and decided to go dye them parts a lil' different...

yes i do like orange! haha.

came out looking better than i had expected!

anywez, need some help/advice again guys...

since i was messing with suspension arms and stuff, decided to rebuild my shocks...

what weight oils do you guys use in your shocks? font and rear?....

which pistons do you use? 1 or 2 hole....or 3?...my integy's come with these options.

squeeforever 05.21.2006 10:41 PM

WOW! I really like the orange. Have you thought of dying a RPM bumper to match? Anywho, I'm not to certain on the shocks. The weight of the truck would help though.

overtki11 05.21.2006 11:52 PM

haha, the thought did cross my mind but then, RPM dun make white front bumpers....erm..or do they?. wahaha..

weight of my truck??? now thats gonna be a bit of a problem then....

squeeforever 05.22.2006 12:22 AM

A guestamate is all we will need. Now that I check, they don't. I thought they use to though. If I'm not mistaken you can get a chrome one and get the chrome off of it and then dye it since it will be white underneath. You can dye all there parts but one to a darker color. I don't think it gets any darker than black ;)

overtki11 05.22.2006 02:13 AM

hmm...iguess i could "borrow" my wife's bathroom scale for a bit....let you know as soon as i get it done.

thanks

coolhandcountry 05.22.2006 08:15 AM

The bathroom scale works. It is not real accurate. The truck being light you may have to weigh you with and with out truck.

Sylvester 05.22.2006 10:31 AM

I'd use 1 piston for sure, the integy shocks have HUGE piston holes! 60-70Wt would be a good place to start off.
