ok, so i got my camera working again. here are some pics of recent work on the 1/5.
modded bumper. looks much more like truggy bumper.
picked up a set of chrome spoke wheels.
here are the integy disc brakes. coming along nice but not done yet. cant wait to get these all hoooked up.
set of modded baja 5b shocks on the rear. baja front shocks to come this week. these are 10x better than the rampage shocks and have a huge 6mm shock shaft for super strength.
used a set of kyosho big bore shock boots as dog bone boots. these work much better than the huge HPI or Darksoul boots they sell for this.
so this week should be a good week. i am anticipating getting my motor mount and spur gear back from the machine shop, my Hydra hv240 arrives, and a few other things that i plan to get done. i am hoping to have something that is starting to resemble a finished truck by next week. we'll see.
