project "baloo", a tamiya bronco build

[sods]

since retiring my old 2.2 comp rig and her name. I thought it time
and fitting to revive the name on a new build, especially since she
donated her axles to the build.

so here we go!!

specs(as of now):
tamiya bronco body, loaded tlt axles, tsc l-trail chassis (modded to accept a honcho skid & tranny),
rc4wd 90mm dual spring shocks, proline flat irons wrapped around titus beadlocks, undecided on
the esc/motor combo.

anyways onto the pics

a charm.

time for some update pics.
got the esc/motor combo in I wanted. went w/ a traxxas vxl-3m/holmes hobbies revolver. also installed some shorter 80mm rc4wd shocks to get
the stance a little closer to where I wanted it.

mornin' all,
long over due update time. finally had some time to work on her
over the weekend & got her up & running. I have a few minor detail
things I need to add, but for now she's done.

anyways on to the pics.

 

[sods]

got the roof rack mounted & the light bar mounted/wired in.

 

[Grey Machine]

Looks good. Ride height might be a little high, which might be a liability on the trail with the weight of that roof rack up top. Good looking Bronco overall though.
