    Dodgedude's Pulling Build

    Been a while, I finally have some time off so I got the RC's out. The puller is in need of some Tranny parts. Goind to lock the 3spd into first gear. I would use a two spd but the 3spd has a 10% reduction in first gear. Lower gearing, Better puller. The reason for the lack of back pressure is...

    Dodgedude's Pulling Build

    Thx Guys! I don't think it will ever be done. I made a new, better looking and stronger Bull Bar mount from 1/2" nylon rod. Install's in 5 seconds with no screws, and is solid enough to use as a handle :D Also, been playing with the idea of having a servo lift the body like a 1:1 MT. Just a...

    Dodgedude's Pulling Build

    So here is my painting story. The first time I painted a body, I had it unwrapped, trimmed, painted and mounted in about an hour. This body took about 14 hours over 2 days. To all those out there with insane painting skillz, I hand you my respect :D . I first started by trimming up...

    Dodgedude's Pulling Build

    No its XL length, XL rear bone and X front bone. My next build will utilize two XL rear bones. My only regret with this truck so far is not extending the front end. Had I seen where it was going when I started building it, I would have extended the front end and left the rear stock X length.

    Purenitro turned me on to that combo, as soon as I saw it I was hooked, even picket up a part time job with a friend for a weekend to get them not now but right now! lol.

    oh, sag = droop, yea pretty much. lol. Sorry B/R I read that wrong

    Dodgedude's Pulling Build

    Not so much to reduce sag. I've heard from others with the LST setup that over time the towers tend to droop or bend inwards, or opposite whichever side the shocks are mounted on. One member on SC had this idea before me, he bulked them up a little different using hellfire parts and claims...

    @ Maximus, There are no pulls around me either, The idea was started as a bet between me and co-workers when I showed them a few RC's pulling Cars. Now its gone full tilt and I'm planning on hitting no limit in 2012. @ Scott, Its powder coating, gives it a deeper color ;) . If you want to...
