Dude..
You need to come down to our next so-Cal bsh.. it's a blast!.. Think about it!.

Sorry to high jack your thread Neil..


Shaun..

I just got my slayer in on Monday and was taking pictures of it anyways. Hope these measurements help. Yours might vary slightly from my tape measure but they are pretty close.





















Neil I have a bunch more of the Badlands and Big Joes on the G3R in photobucket if you need them. Some closeup of wheel well and what not.

Awesome work chaps, especially awesome pics Gee- those will be very helpful indeed

I do like my charger body, but it just doesnt look right on a truck with big wheels- a corr body however will look rather beasty, as seen above. I just need to practice my painting skills a little more on some old drinks bottles

[I Trust Tyler]

Im curious to see if the sc8 body would fit an extended e-maxx, anybody try that yet?

Neil, if you are going to extend your chassis further you might want to look into the sc8 body. If I recall correctly the sc8 has a longer wheel base than a slash and the body is longer.

edit: it seems tyler and I had the same idea at the same time!

I stopped at the LHS on the way home tonight and put the Slash body on the Revo they had sitting on the counter. It fit just like the pic's Gee put up. However, one issue is suspension travel. Unless you put some highlift body posts on it, you will have to cut away the fender area - not just make the wheel wells bigger. If you dont, it almost seems certain that the tires will tear up the body. Maybe with some serious offset rims they might clear also.....

I think that looks great with the wabash wheels. I think bowties would look better than bigjoe's though.

I've never been a fan of the Bigjoes, they were handy for the photos though since they are the same size and width as my Jumbo Clawdawgs (which few people have it seems, cant think why not though... ).

I will explore the sc6 bodies also then- hopefully Jconcepts will come up with something nice for corr trucks, and the new emaxx too; I did ask them about that nearly 6 months ago and they said 'soon'. They lied...

Suicideneil's G Maxx has a low ride hight from what I can see in his pics.. He should be ok. I had 2.2 clawdawgs on my T3 with a mm 7700 till I had a 55mph blow out. The center ripped out, looked like a bannana peel. It was loud as hell, and I almost passed out from laughing. Could'nt stop. The kid nextdoor could'nt believe it.

[suicideneil]

Low isnt the word- if it wasnt for the 6" tires, that thing would be a belly dragger for sure Im quite impressed how well my clawdawgs cope with the high rpms I subject them to, thats the advantage of thicker rubber I guess..

[BL_RV0]

Imex tires with think rubber? That's rare...

[Gee]

The Big Joes are for sale if anyone interested. I only put them on to make Niel happy. I've used them a few times but they are mainly used for photo shoots now. They do look good but are not really practical on any of my setups.

I'll trade you a set of 40s (rims and tires) for them in great shape ?? let me know and I'll pm you picture of them.. there 17mm hubs by the way..

have a great one Gee..
