Lookin sweet coby.. Can't wait to see it finished..

 

[soulja]

i like coby.... let me know how those LST2 shocks work for ya. looks good!

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Sure will. I believe they are the LST1 shocks though. LST2 shocks are threaded.

 

[soulja]

from what i have seen on SOME vehicles... they are a little bouncy......post a vid if you can

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

I've noticed that too. I tried mine out a bit and if I were to drop it, it would land flat. I hope it's the same when I bash it.

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

STS D28M
RPM RC10GT box
Rush battery box
HPI Vented CB 18T
Dynamite Max-Life Shoes

[ohmygahitscoby]

Sorry, should've been more specific. They are 5x10 Teflon bearings for the CB. I saw them on eBay for $5.

 

[Os.savageboy]

very cool coby!

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Thanks. I also went ahead and bought a temp gun too. The PE1 should be fine for tuning.

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Consider it sealed 😀.

Can't wait to get it running. Just need the header springs, and stuff from SMF then it's up and running!

Upgrades from last update:
Roll handle
Motorsavers filter (SAV100)
RPM box and Rush box
50,000wt Mugen oil
Ofna Switch


BTW Yes my pilot nut is backwards haha.

 

[Samrsnow]

Looks good man. Let us know how she runs!

 

[Os.savageboy]

very cool
!

 

[soulja]

you go coby.....do your thang!

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Thanks guys! My linkages and servo mount came in, and hopefully my clutch. I'll post a picture later today of the setup.

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Well I'm too embarrassed to post my linkages. Instead I'll show you my two new boxes. The RPM Receiver Box and HPI Rush Battery Box.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

looks good man I love the look of your truck!

 

[Os.savageboy]

looks good! Nice Truck

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

Thanks guys.

I got my wing mounted. I have to make a plate for the bottom holes, but I'll try to take a picture or how it looks now.
I redid my linkages and they look better. I still need to shorten the linkage that connects to the carb (I flipped the throttle mixer arm around so it sticks out inside the TVPs.)

Also got a wheelie bar on.

 

[Londoner]

Awesome mate! Looks the muts nuts lol

 

[Crash]

great build my man

thanks for the share

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

The reason why the engine is out is because I am having the carb modded. I have a friend who is going to flatten the carb body so the banjo fitting on the HSN and the body are flush instead of the carb body being curved. This will help with the leaks in that area.


I also ordered some adjustable upper arms on eBay (Can't beat the price compared to the LHS!). Can't wait for them to get here. Sucks I won't be home for 3 weeks to put them on.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Looks good man seams like you got a lot of colors flowing in it with the purple, blue, silver, black I like it.

 

[ohmygahitscoby]

You forgot orange on the inside of the rims!

My goal was to actually have it blue, silver, and black. I had the purple stuff before my goal was planned, and I really just want to get it through break-in first before I change more. I'll probably deanodize them and either polish them or annodize them a different color.

 

[I-Hate-Traxxas]

Yeah on my build I am trying to get a stealth look and try to only get black and sliver.... well see

But I like yours well done

 

[Combuster]

awesome savy bro coming along nicely

 

[Os.savageboy]

sick truck bro! Cant wait to c a finished product!

 

[soulja]

do your thang cody....but looks like you might wanna watch that wing....looks like the wheelie bar might not save it after your engine is modded!
