This forum is great ive got alot of good ideas from here lets all keep on sharing nice one peeps.

Nice Mods. Hey just looked at the photo of your rear shock set up. Have you tried that set up yet ?

 

[Dannywylie83_123]

No not yet pal ive got rubber stops inside the shocks and 40wt oil and i used a long m5 screw to attach the big bores (been doing m5 srew in the shock tower for ages works well no more bent shock screws)...i do a lot of really big jumps so i think it could do with extra damping ..ill have see how they hold up I'm not holding my hopes up ....might be surprised tho an it looks cool

 

[Dannywylie83_123]

Managed to get more done ...just need to decide what wheels to put on and get a new shell.

 

[Savage 6768]

Looking good. What sort of lipos are you going to be running.

 

[Dannywylie83_123]

Ive got 1x HRB 5000mah 50c 5s pack gonna see if i can sqeeze it in lol

2x HRB 5000mah 50c 4s packs i can run 1 or 2 in parallel for twice the run time

And I'm going to get 2x HRB 5000mah 3s packs to run 6s ive not tried it yet 5s is mental so 6 is just gonna be stupid hahahaha

 

[Savage 6768]

Yeah 6s is mental but so much fun 🙂 The reason I asked as there not much choice of lipos out here unless you want to pay stupid prices. Only real choice is hobbyking.

 

[Dannywylie83_123]

I get my batts from ebay search HRB LiPo an loads come up i can get 2x 5000mah 3s packs for £70...i only paid £55 for my 5s an £40 for the 4s

 

[Dannywylie83_123]

Well it all done apart from the shell ...just need to decide which wheels to run what do you guys think.....

I'm just not happy with the radio box because it dosent match the motor and esc mount i bought some more paint an its a good match to the purple aluminium on the truck ..ive got another radio box i might paint so its the same colour.

 

[Dannywylie83_123]

All finished for now ...

 

[Jam Racing 1]

Body turned out nice!!!

I like that tailgate alot also, my wife said that before also until I told her that RC was better than another woman

 

[Dannywylie83_123]

Cheers...it was her idea to put it on there 🙂 just a few little tweaks on shes ready to rip.

 

[Dannywylie83_123]

Did some body clip holders

 

[Dannywylie83_123]

First run with rc4me center diff blew a front tire in half after about 2mins of running defo need some heavy weight diff oil...i had put blue tak in it with some 60k diff oil...when i opened the diff up it had mixed with the oil an gone to hardly enything.
