Building the BATTLE TRUCK..

[TDC57]

SSOOOOOoooooo after consuming large amount of alcohol tonight I was able to gain the confidence required to cut up my body to accommodate for the grenade launcher and please note!! I still have the skull eyes glowing HHooo, HHHoooo, HHhhooooo.. WHO’S THE MAN!!!

And I finally got my shocks all worked out! (What a huge pain in the A$$), after trying several combinations, I finally ended up with this one:

Front:
Original XT8 rear shocks with 2 springs (front XT8 & rear XT8 Blue) and 5/8” of spacers. Believe it or not this combo works great with the weight! And still gives me plenty of suspension clearance.

Rear:
808 rear shocks. Purple springs, with the spring cup tightened all the way down and using ¼” spacers. Again, this combination gave me the best results.

Builders Note: (PLEASE!!!)
Never attempt to run this shock setup on your Truggy!! It’s SSsoooooo wrong it’s pathetic!! But for my needs it works great!..

I was able to repair my rear smoke system, got to love JB weld!.. LOL.LOL

And I also completed up the wiring (again) for my rockets (wish me luck!) This has not gone well!! But I'm feeling like maybe tomorrow is my DAY!! (Hay!, I can dream cant I) LOL.LOL



Have a great weekend everybody!, I’ll post RD (research and development) video of the grenade launcher, landmines & rockets before the end of the weekend. If all goes well (it wont) but if it does, I’ll be filming next week!..

Shaun.


P.S.
I still need volunteers to shoot at the truck during the filming ( Any takers) ???
I also need a NEW NAME for the Truck!!! As prevesloly pointed out “Battle Truck” is boring!!! So if you got PLEASE pitch them!...


Thanks Guys…
