Brushless UE Projects

[MiRatlhed]

Those are the UE Lightning Cradles, those were a alternative to the regular straps. Another impossible part to find and paid another testicle for them, no problem though as I am done having kids anyway......

Nope those Panthers are not directional. They seemed to be pretty hard to find until recently. I went on Ebay because I am planning one more UE build and I wanted another set of these for it so they would match this truck. Found a couple sellers that had 10+ sets for sale.....go figure....

Thanks for the kind words Neil! Going to sit tonight and get my stress level peaked drilling holes in the body ....wish me luck! I have to take my front shocks back off and drop the front mounts down some and the holding bolt will not come out with the piggybacks on. Then electronics are going in....

Got the shell mounted and I had to take the front HCR cross member off the front posts. The connecting bolt heads would hit the lines on the hood where the cowl forms, I even tried set screws and the whole piece actually kept the body up too far to mount on these posts. It is just the awkward angle of the cowl lines and I don't think there would be a way to fix it and still use them. Could go with taller body posts....but......I don't think that would look too good.

Does it need to be lowered more?? Have the small hint of the chassis on the bottom edge of the shell? The rear can only go down just a tad more because it is already on the very top of the shocks and VBS posts so I would not gain much on the back end. I could pretty much drop it just enough to barely see the line of the chassis or slam the front end but I think doing that the lower edge of the shell being off level would look worse. Wondered what you all think. It will probably look totally different outside too....haha
