Alright everybody, I've been working toward this day for the last year and I'm finally at the point where I can post up and show off the build.

This BGR Customs Aluminum Cage is going to get powder coated! "thumbsup"

I started with a stock RTR RR10 Bomber I picked up at my LHS. Before I even ran it, I already had the Incision SS Links ready to install so that happened the first day.

Then I ordered some SS Trailing Links to match the Incision Links and give it some low slung weight. Since I'm surrounded by salt water, this truck is going to be as much aluminum and Stainless Steel as possible to keep the rust down.

After that i realized that this truck needs a lower gear but she humps the rock like no other truck I've ever owned.

Keep your eyes out for more updates becauise I'll be adding posts every few days. The BGR cage will be powder coated this weekend, haven't decided which color just yet, Gunmetal Gray or a Midnight Blue.
 
I started doing some test fitting of the BGR Cage to see how everything mounts up. So far everything looks perfect. The stance will be lowered a bit once I get the new shocks built and installed.

There will be many more upgrades and additions to this Bomber, 2 speed kit, Sensored Brushless System, Proline Shocks, Beadlock wheels and Pitbull Tires.

The build is not done yet, the spare tire will be on there once it's done. The powder coating goes on and then the aluminum body panels will get installed. Then the new shocks, axles, and many other parts.
 
im pretty sure my wife would kill me if I put my rc car on the couch :lmao:

I dig the rig man. It looks sweet and your build plans are looking good!


Luckily I don't have a ball and chain, plus that soda was a free couch I found on craigslist for my office area.
