[[hs] darkshine]

[Jt]

Hops midtank is a Hellfire...looks a bit different than his.

 

[polystyrene]

Ofna Hyper One Seven 250cc Tank

what do i win?

 

[Jt]

Ofna Hyper One Seven 250cc Tank

what do i win?

The satisfaction of knowing the answer, but being a Revo guy you probably have seen the tank used in the Revo conversion.

 

[polystyrene]

haha, well i knew it had to be 250cc, and there not alot of choice in that tank range

 

[Chaos]

Does a revo have enough power to pull around a big tank like that POLY?....





















j/k bro!!!!!!

 

[thrasher6]

I didn't even think a Revo could hold it up by itself, let alone pull it around...



j/k

 

[polystyrene]

haha, jive talking fools

tbh ive heard alot about the revo using the 250cc tanks having pressure problems. you need to be running a .28 - .32 engine in them to get the pressure from the tank

sts should handle it though. (I'm hoping now that you are running this truck and its not just a shelf queen!)

 

[Jt]

Oh it will only sits on the self when I'm not out running the trucks.

 

[Jt]

Well guys more parts have arrived.

Some parts I didn't get pictures of, before I installed them- The pipe is a THS 1 piece pipe and for the tie rods I used some Integy Super Duty Turnbuckles as recommended by Basher Haven (Joe), here is a stock photo of them

As for the body it is done and painted but I have to modify the rear post to fit it properly because the body is so high.

So here they are some pics of the truck.








BUT

First I have to thank Rob from IRC, Mark from STS, Brian for getting the Integy and Nova parts for me, SMF for their excellent prices and fast shipping, Matt for painting the body, and all the other members for their help, support and opinions on this build.

So finally here it is, the project that lasted to long and now has been dubbed



"Anger Management"

Here are some pics I took with my F-650 body while we had a good day of sun.

I will get some with the other body as soon as I sort out the rear body post to my liking.

 

[Fx]

I LOVE YOU

 

[Jt]

Whoa hey now...lets not get carried away here

 

[k0m0d067]

I LOVE YOU

you're STILL not getting his Bud Light :40:

 

[X25]

As i have said through out this whole build you have done a great job jerry. the truck has a neat and clean look to it,but also says I'm gonna smoke your a$$ at the bashin ground. You are a great builder and a good friend keep up the builds and thanks for all that you have done for me and others. This build has been great for this site and the others that it is on. It show how you can build a full truck from ground up and that no one should be afraid to try as long as they keep it within their skill level. Sorry i am rambling so i will shut up. But that is one sick rigg the name suits it well.

 

[Jt]

Thank you very much for the kind words Jason. :cheers:
