Neil's Premature TF2

[neillarson]

I didn't like the sliders once I mounted them so I changed them to this.

Still have to make the mounts. Also added the Big Boss Flares and a Snorkel.

With the suspension mods in, I have decent flex. Rear unaided (just sat the truck down on the spool and did not push down to compress the suspension) with all other tires in full contact with the floor.

Front unaided

For the flares, to get the clearance back, after you mount them and
Drill the holes to mount, couldn't you just cut the inside of them and trim the body? Or will the flares lose it's integrity?

You probably couldn't trim much as the screws don't really provide structural support, mainly locational support and scale looks.

Really not an issue on a leafer but if you linked it, it could Be.

Sliders are done, getting the body mounts on now.

Installed a RC Rock Armor bumper for an SCX10, needed some mods to the mounting plate.

Anmd yes I know the body is crooked, it is just sitting in place.
