Finally my Hi Lift build

[cartronicshn]

:shock: i thought everyone was familiar with the Mono Tuning aluminum chassis, shock mounts, gears, shock shafts for the hl, these are machined aluminum parts for the hl, they are much lighter then the stock ones + they look cool"thumbsup"

 

[cartronicshn]

So after a couple of weeks i decided it was time to use the mono tunning parts"thumbsup", i have to tell you these parts feel incredibly light compared to the stock parts:shock:, i also removed the front bumper and playing with the idea of another body, or maybe just change the color of the ford body, lmk what you guys think"thumbsup"

 

[cartronicshn]

Well i have decided to keep my hl 1.9 , the wheels are eritex 1.9 and they are awesome"thumbsup", the tires are trail doctors xl i got these from Corey at Rpp. I have also added a new light kit, i will swap the colored ones from the lightbar to white ones, so here are a couple of crappy pics, and video of the leds i got from twistedxt

I will have to ask the mods to plese put this thread on the 1.9 forum.
Edit: You the man Grizz."thumbsup"

Those wheels and tires look really good! I'd stick with those for sure.

kool

yea!! go with 1.9 slingers and maybe a four link rear suspension!! "thumbsup"

 

[cartronicshn]

I actually just swapped the slingers for the traildoctors, but i will go with the 4 link in the rear as soon as the dinky links are for sale"thumbsup"

 

[cartronicshn]

Well i haven't updated this thread in a long time:shock:, i haven't 4 linked the rear yet, although i have the dinky links sitting here for some time now:roll:, but i have started addressing the other issue i have with my hl, belly clearance, i am doing the tranny lift8), i will 4 link the rear as soon as i finish this mod"thumbsup".

1) I was working to the end of this thread to suggest that you try 1.9 rims with larger diameter tyres such as Stompers or Crushers, but I see that's pretty much what you've done anyway. I found it gave the nicest scale look for my Hilux.

2) I live the green, fwiw.

3) What ESC is that? It doesn't look anything like the Goats/Roosters I've got. Do they look different elsewhere?

This is actually the first series of Goat systems, they were called novak crawler system at the beginning.

Thanks for the input.

Yup, these are the wheels to have"thumbsup", anyways i started the 4 link conversion, here are couple of pics , still have to install the servo for steering next to shifting servo ala slobin3d8).

 

[cartronicshn]

:shock: it only takes a year between updates, well i did finish the 4 link in the rear and i have used this rig a lot the last couple of weeks, i can say i love the way it crawls over obstacles now, i only have a couple of poser shots and some shots of the servo location, but i will get some action pics soon( hopefully less than a year)

 

[cartronicshn]

So another year went by:mrgreen:, i finally got some vid of the hl doing some lite work.

I am looking at the axial wheels and flat irons for my hl, the flat irons look beefier than the trail docs and the eritex wheels, lmk what you guys think"thumbsup"
