Black

you should find a way to lift the body up some more i think its a lil low

 

[mrwonderful]

Definitely not! I think it looks perfect the height it's at.

 

[ugly duck]

One vote for white. I think black wheels look horrible in general.

 

[j0e]

looking great, Bob.
as for wheels, put two whites on one side and two blacks on the other!
"thumbsup"





or, just go black all the way around.

u should bring this rig out to the mid island spot.. it would fit in perfectly!

 

[KINGJB]

+1 for black wheels "thumbsup"

 

[ChevyLuv]

i know the tow rig pics were back a bit but man that is incredible

 

[eddievedder]

Well RC4WD delivered a package to me!

New wheels/tires going on!

I also decided to take it apart and prep the chassis for flat black paint!

 

[eddievedder]

New wheels/tires are on.

Chassis is flat black and it makes a big difference!

I still have to detail my Rogue Element Warn hubs

 

[salmonfacesalad]

Looks great! How do you like those tires? Where can I get a hold those warn hubs? linky?

 

[ugly duck]

What do you want for the white wheel/tire combo?

 

[CJ318]

I'm wondering about how to get ahold of those side mirrors! I just finished a Proline XJ ... anyway, that's an incredible truck. Black chassis was a huge improvement.

and since you like the white but want 5 lug, maybe paint those new wheels. I think the white contrasting black would be incredible now after your respray of the chass.

[crunky]

Tires are great. Havnt used them with this rig yet but I've used them before. The taller .155's are much better but wouldnt go with this rig. As for the hubs, Rogue Elements makes them.

Not for sale...

I liked the white but totally sold on the black now. You can make mirrors for your lexan XJ out of styrene. These came with the kit from Scaleoffroad.

looks greattt!

I wish I was going. Next time I hope...



A few outdoor pics with the black chassis. Ill be ordering electronics for Cloverfield this week so it should be a runner soon...

Good enough. I figured I'd ask.

Great lookin' truck, though!

 

[big bronco]

gotta get it running! hopefully we can meet up some time this summer

 

[eddievedder]

It has been a while since I updated this one. But thanks to 1BJB, it is a runner. Mike hooked up the electronics for me and I hooked him up with some 4 link mounts for T Rex axles.

3 speeds. 2wd/4wd. He set it up pretty cool too so it is always in 2wd but when you need to shift to 4wd you shift up into 4wd which makes for fun wheeling.

super low is super low!! Then medium, and then fast which is pretty quick.


Here are two vidoes of it crawling up onto the tow rig! Click the image for vid!



Pics!
