Project Zeus: Cycon's Steven Eugenio Trophy Truck Build

Well today was successful, finally sandblasted my axle :mrgreen: It was so ugly before, but hey it's old :lmao: Couldn't be happier with the results. 2 & 1/2 year old axle looking good as new!

Wow man it looks so much better! Especially without all the layers of paint huh. You gonna do some clear coats on it?

Yeah it's great. May do a clear, not sure. I'll text you the pic, you gotta fix your tapatalk app lol.
 
Yeah a clear coat would be a good idea. Otherwise I've noticed the housing gets dirty rather quickly
 
Have you seen this video? Gotta laugh, whoever shot it got me at 8:20 mark shooting Zeus, waiting for our truck to come thru. The other side of the ditch was loaded with people, eating dust! That blasted axle looks great. Clear is going to get chewed up as well, but an easy fix. Have you ever taken one of your trucks to the track? I took the buggy yesterday. It sucked! Only place I could beat the rest of track goers was thru the whoop section and sweeping turns where I could hold it pinned! After the build off contest is done I think its time to join the bandwagon and build a TT as well. Considering your kit, we'll see.

The video link didn't work, want to see it haha. Thanks though, after the clear coats it feels great. I don't think it'll get messed up, but we'll see.

Haven't taken mine to a track yet, I've been dying to. Funny story, bet they felt a little intimidated. I think mine could complete for sure, just have to lower it a bit. Can't wait to try. But man you do need to make a TT, that's where it's at "thumbsup"

Some pics, going to test her out tomorrow

Got a good update for you guys. Ended up resurrecting an old body to try out on the truck. This is the proline F150 and I have some JC manta fenders on the back. This is really the only stock body that can fit this chassis. Now that I've finally tried it with a body I need to hurry up and finish the real one!

Here are some pics, also have a couple short videos on my Instagram page @cyconxc https://instagram.com/cyconxc/

Cool stuff. You have A LOT of sway bar out back, I've never seen an inside rear wheel go up on a turn. Loving your horsepower, no wonder it eats axles. Watch a few baja vids, you'll have the track down in no time. Edit this w/e? Video skills rival the build skills! Movie Monday, remember?

Thanks. The rear sways are literally perfect. Love how it goes up on 3 if I'm too aggressive. I've seen a couple real ones do the same going into bank turns like that.

The track rebuild needs to happen before we do any videos back there, it's a little rough lol. We're planning out the layout and everything. I cannot wait. But I know I need to get a vid up, it's been a while.
