Fallin Apart's BWD 'Low Pro' Wedge Build

[fallin apart]

started working on the topper since I have nothing better to do.

Then started working on the other side

Glad to see you're finished with the 'heat treating'.
You gonna have it ready for the 7th? It'll be fun to put the 2 of them up against each other.

 

[fallin apart]

Don't knock the heat treating till you try it

You know me putting stuff off till the last minute, and yeah Its going fun even though you stole my idea of getting a Low Pro ;-)

i really like the skid clearance these rigs have. kept me from being in some bad situations. rollover is quite nice too. takes some weight tuning but other than that, very able "out of the box" chassis. I should have kept my original mini to compare and tune against....

Taking a quick gander at your two rigs side by side it looks like your clearance is certainly higher on your low pro but your COG looks higher on the low pro. The most important thing though is how it drives!

I think you have that backwards! Like there was ever any doubt I'd get one as soon as they were available. :mrgreen:

My Wedge is lower then the Low Pro but the COG on the Low Pro is better then the Wedge so I have high hopes that the Low Pro will be quite competive.

You are sitting way high comparing to where I'm running mine...not even considering the fact that I'm running 5/16" long limiting springs under my pistons. I have my rear shocks set to the top row third hole forward on the chassis and my front shocks top row third hole back. I still have plenty of clearance but gain the low COG advantage of the Low Pro.

Thanks for the advice Don,

Wow... I have seen these rims before but these look really good... They go along with the build very nicely"thumbsup"

now I'm just tryin how to figure out how to mount my servo and look into lowering it some.

I definitely agree with lowering it some... Looks a little tall

I have had my rear kicked by Don's low pro. I would totally do everything the zen master says.

Testing results?

Looks good. I couldn't help but think of "Its not delivery, its DiGiorno" as I looked through the pics. Now I want pizza...

 

[Unpredictable]

Well you get it any lower yet?

 

[fallin apart]

Lowerd it down some may go lower it some more once I get some test driving done on it.

Next on the to do list list is get my steering figured out.

High steer knuckles showed up the other day but was to sick to do anything with them

also my Dad made a servo guard
