Strange!

He's using double shocks in each arm, but make note that the Nova shock towers he's using are far lighter than the knuckleheads.
Also, the towerless VBS he's using are supposed to be 50 grams lighter than any other bulkhead or bulkless available.
I have both the towerless VBS and the Hybrids and the difference in weight is quite obvious.

Well, the towers, the shocks are both lighter. Not strange really, I probably could lose weight in places....i also run a rx box, my wing is different than his also, which I modded to let it sit back further. My oil is thicker as well in the diffs. Who knows, my truck might be lighter than I think, not sure til I weigh it. I have a digital scale at work and have been pondering on the idea on bringing it in to weigh it.
Oh, my body is not silver either! Nor is it yellow! LOL :005: Mike just had a killer set up, it was so durable. I have some new pics to put on this evening of the tires and the completion...

Sounds great cp'n! Show us some pics when you get it up! To bad you are so far away!!!!!! WE all could do a very competative race!

captain harlock 01.08.2007 02:27 PM

Yeah! That would be wonderful. Probably I can make a trip to America and meet up with you guys. That wont happen anytime soon, though.

My truck is mostly finished.
I only need to spray and decorate the body. Solder and prepare my setup. Get some parts from Mike and pictures will be posted soon after.

Amazing! VERY good work, newe!

neweuser 01.08.2007 05:02 PM

Thanks Syl. I think the body didn't turn out quite the way i wanted it too, but I am still pretty pleased with it though, i wnated the metallic burgandy a tad more faded in.

captain harlock 01.09.2007 03:00 AM

Wow!

This truck turned out to be much prettier than it ever was.

Did you run it yet?
