Thanxs guys...I still need to get the Vanquish shock / Panhard mounts when they are released, maybe some different shocks, maybe a Bomber interior, maybe some lighting and I'm still on the hunt for a "special something" for the truggy deck.

Are those Yeti front shocks in the rear?

Yes they are, with some RC4WD springs.

Sorry if I missed it, but do you have a pic of your mount in the rear for that cage? Using the asender cage and body on mine.

The rear is attached with two links so that the whole body can be tilted back and the rear shock tower body mounts are used, but without pins.

Bilinvic strikes again... Truck looks amazing"thumbsup"

 

[rngrchad]

Yes yes yes. Looks fantastic. Can't wait to see some video of it on the rocks.

 

[glassman]

Really like the way the wrap turned out, looks great.

 

[saddlesore]

That truck looks so bad ass!!!! I love how you mounted the rear cage.

 

[Tossedman]

Looks fantastic Bil. How many pieces did the wrap come in? Was it difficult to line up or hide where they join?

Cheers eh,

Todd

This is the order I applied the panels:

1. Hood (1 panel)
2. Fenders (1 panel per side)
3. Door Panels (1 panel per side)
4. Roof (1 panel)
5. Rear of cab (1 panel)

Yes, it took several hours to get it all laid down perfectly and this included having to peel panels back off multiple times to re-align. The seams are all barely noticeable. The only thing I would have done differently is put the cab back panel on before the roof and door panels in case something catches the overlapping forward facing seam while driving forward.

 

[Tossedman]

Thank you sir. Build on!

 

[bilinvic]

Getting closer to the first test run....

I currently have .350 SLW hubs on the Method wheels and I have some .225 on order to see if I like the stance better or not.

Quick follow up....the .225 SLW hubs won't work with my brass Exile RC SLW hub weights; they end up too far inside the weights and the weights rub the knuckles. I will stick with the .350 hubs.

The scale "harvest"!!!! 8)

[photocycler]

With the VP axles, can you just use the stock internal parts or does it require specific VP parts?

Stock internals, although I did use the Incision lockers for less axle slop.
