Quick piccie update.
This is my truck now.
Few changes, fitted a set of Proline VTR 4.0" 1/2" offset rims with Proline Caliber VTR tyres, very narrow but also very light, the weight iv shed by going from the 40s big Joes to these is unbelievable! the truck feels so much lighter.
These are awesome, perfectly balanced, when i had them mounted to the truck while i had no diffs or dogbones in i could spin them and they spin forever, perfectly true with no wobble and no noticable heavy spots and no part of the wheel settled to the bottom when they came to a stop.
I did buy a set of Proline Wabash rims and 23mm adapters for the big Joes coz my axial beadlocks are now in the bin, but i just couldnt get the adapters to sit square on the XL axles, they are the Proline adapters for XL axles but there was just too much wheel wobble, almost enought to make the truck jump as it rolled! shame, they looked good, but seeing the weight difference i don't think il use the 40s/big Joes again.
Got tired of seeing my hump pack cable tied to the TVP so i got a Rush battery box and Innovative RC Rush box bracket and mounted it to the front of the rear tower.
PRC wing plate and Hot Bodies wing stay.
HPI heavy duty servo saver spring for a tight servo saver.
And my favourite change of all, the machined bulletproof 29/9t diffs and Flux composite bulks, iv gone through 2 more shimmed rear XL diff ring and pinions since the last pic update, the LRP.30 eats them for breakfast!
Front.
And rear.
The LST shocks and I-RC kit is coming off soon, iv ordered a set of alum big bores, not because iv had any real problems with them or the way the truck rides with them but because they are heavy and feeling the weight loss after just changing the wheels, swapping them for big bores would make the truck that much lighter still.
I'm ordering the RSC next week too, so once iv got those il update again.
