[johnnyh66]

Thanks guys, I'm really digging it! 8)

 

[Mr.Joshua]

Nice...thanks man.
I figured the accent line continued but I wasn't sure, looks really good!

Now I gotta decide on a new roof rack and light bar.

Here's my current combo (except I removed the black rings from the lights)

But Integy is coming out with some new stuff!

I like this light bar.

and this one is pretty cool too.

This might be a good combo with one of these two light bars.

 

[johnnyh66]

Well, I ordered this combo:

Im diggin the buggy. Thas awsome the tire mod you did is holding up.

 

[johnnyh66]

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the tire mod. I really like the way they look, and they sidehill awesome!
I've been keeping an eye out for some cheap TSL's so I can redo at least the first one... by the 3rd, I had it down pretty good.

So the Hitec 645 servo winch was acting up. It worked fine in one direction but would stop suddenly in the other... guessing gears.

So, I installed a Savox 1268 for the servo winch. 208oz @ 6v and 348 @ 7.2v... that should do it. The drum will be here in a few days from MadDogRC.
I didn't know they were even making these until a couple days ago... I had been looking for a Warpig Futaba drum for a while now.

I first tried heyok's new controller but it didn't work.
I ended up putting in a old style that I had as back up.

9v powered head, tail, marker and fog lights from Hoosierdady's Chop Shop... quality stuff! "thumbsup"

 

[johnnyh66]

Got the light bar and roof rack installed... I only drilled holes for the front of the rack.
I haven't decided if I'll keep this or get the shorter version.
I kinda like this version but it weighs a lot.

 

[johnnyh66]

I think I'll paint the light bar black and buy the shorter roof rack... and paint it orange!

I think you right, looks to long in my opinion. Overall your car is defiantly my favorite on the forum. I hate shelf queens! I hope you make it down to the holmes hobby run. Sounds like it'll be a good time, I'm sure Kcrc will be there in full swing!

 

[johnnyh66]

thanks jshul!

I plan on making the trip, already priming the wife!
Only issue is if it's the 20... the 19th is my 40th bday and she wants to throw a party.
I'll figure it out... it's less than an 8hr drive. "thumbsup"

The final piece has arrived!
The MadDog winch drum.
Now to mount the stainless steel rope. :twisted:

 

[Hoosierdady]

Looking good Johnny. The LEDs look great on there!

 

[johnnyh66]

Thanks HD!
I like the lights, is it safe to bend the wire/leads just past the plastic part?

I painted the roof rack...
A few of the guys in the club saw it today and thought the size was good.

 

[Mr.Joshua]

Every time I come back to look this rig looks better and better!

Are you liking that Savox servo for a winch?
