very nice...LOTS of pics...LOL

ok...my one question...what did you use for that battery box, and receiver/radio box? normally I've seen guys just wire their batteries to the shock tower, but this looks MUCH cleaner...like a factory job...well done!!

I have seen your other threads and you posted tons of pictures in those as well. Let first say great pics, great work, great ride! Could we see what it looks like with a truck body on? I like the setup, and the battery box is dope! Let use know what you used please. Great over all truck, looks fantastic and the work sure payed off.

One question, what is that in the opening of the carb? Is it just a plug?

the box is a HPI Rush battery box...with a simple bracket to attach it to the towers......THX for the comments boys.........changed up the handle to be a little more sturdy now....chk it out

I was actually curious as to what the box was next to your gas tank. I'm assuming you have a receiver and a servo in there? Who makes it and where can I get one?

Not to be Rude Integra but this is my third attempt in asking You who those gearbox and bulkheads are. Would you like to share that info with me Porfavor Sinor? The bulks look like Integy's but you some how polished them and the Gearboxes look like GPM and polished. If they are polished how did you go about doing all that?

Thanks bud:buttshake:

From what I can tell it looks like a RPM receiver box for the MGT.

wow sorry guys...with posting pics like this on 5-6 differnt forums comes alot of forgotten Q's......the cases and Bulks are GPM's to my knowledge....i got them second hand......and all i did was strip the anno with oven cleaner and take the peices to the Polishing wheel with Differnt Compounds from Corse to Fine...and when u get to the Fine all of a sudden its a MIRROR finish....Definatly not something to try with the Dremel...sooo not enuff Juice..and itll OverHeat it pretty quick...so a Bench top with something like a 6" wheel works great.........as for the Radio box...its a HPI Rush battery box...with a basic bracket to bolt to the Towers.

Yes i made almost every single peice on the truck....and i get my Cf from BOEING......this is Not commercial grade Crap CF....and having Kevlar in the middle INcreases the Price per sheet and the Cure times....the sheet i have is roughly worth 300$...so if that gives u an idea to what this stuff is worth.

the truck Lost some weight....but not much...i kept all the allum cases and bulks....added some Beefier Super heavy center drive shafts....and without all the Webbing cut out of the chassy it felt about the same as the stock...also goin from All allum LST mounts to ALL cf im sure i lost some top weight there.....also this chassy is .5" longer in the front.....and the final thing would be the No cage.....My delrin cage adds Significant weight.....Steel mounts/sleevs...about 100+g's Per mount plus the cage itself......ive never had a problem with weight....i could always make it Humm around the track......Ill get the truck on a scale this week for every1 as it seems to be a common question.
