My Dad's Truck

[Fx]

This is the ruck I built for my dad. He really likes it and shows his appreciation by beating the living hell out of the truck. Some of the parts include....

-FLM Chassis
-Axial .28 Spec 1
-8 CEN piggyback shocks
-New Era drive shafts
-SPI Aluminum rims/Pinn Dawgs
-OFNA Throttle mod
-SMF Screw Kit
-SMF Bearing Kit

Not too flashy but defiantly tough. I'm telling him he should let me do a mid-tank on his truck too. Am I right or am I right?

Nice truck. Yes to the midtank.

Have you had good luck glueing the tires to the aluminum rims? Just seems like the tires would eventually become unstuck to the aluminum.

The tires came preglued when my dad bought them from Rick. Tires glue great to aluminum as long as there is a clean surface for the glue to stick on. You can rough up the gluing surface with a fine grit of sandpaper too.

do the cen shocks bolt rite on?

Allmost. If you are using the X lower arms then you only need to shave off a small portion off where the shock mounts. If you are using the 25 lower arms then no modification in required. Cen shocks are tough as nails and lower the ride height of you truck a little.

Much bigger and the shafts are heavy duty. Would you like a picture showing the size comparison?

I don't own big bores so I'm not quite sure how they compare. Yes those are the ones in the link.

I love the "Biohazard" shape in the wheels! I want to get new shocks and wheels/tires for mine next. Those shocks look pretty tough!
