sweet I like that nice metal work on the tub, from the tub lines looks like it will be a CJ if that is the case this should stand out from the crowd..

[Dakillswitch]

Cool work man ....
I'm in the process of building the interior for some time now the thing that holds me back is ...what do you do if you need to fix some problems on the wolf?
do you tear all the interior down??
i'm trying to build it in the way that i can get it out and work on the wolf when i need too.

[Racer4Life]

You sir are cool. Like the metal work. I would have sliced a vein if I did that.

[Old Sloppy]

Oh WOW, that looks good !

It really turned out good....

what size battery is that?

Harry

P.S. what is that sky-blue hot rod in the background?

[chaser]

I have noticed your shocks, you have removed the springs?
how is the handleing with this setup?
and is the weight then taken on the bottom of the shocks now? is that good for them?

info please :)

[poor247]

battery is a 3 cell 2100mah pure goodness :D and its a 26 model t :eek:

info please :)

my opinion is that scalers were meant to run droop shocks... especially top heavy piles like this :D it performs atleast 50% better in this style

[roborg5000]

:D

Agreed! On this top heavy beast , plus it sits so much nicer.

[poor247]

well, i hate to have to do this but i cant take anymore :mad:. everything about this truck is awsome, except for the axles, they seem to be garbage. during assembly i noticed cracks all over the housings, i stripped out two of the nuts for the four link mounts, and today while just driving around my yard slowly i stripped out the splines in the rear carrier... they look like the same material that the link mounts are made of, which looks more like pot metal than aluminum :(. i planned from the begining of this build to upgrade the axles to aluminum ones, but now im alittle nervous, are the housings made out of the same material? sorry for the whining :o

[roborg5000]

Did you get extra axle housings with your kit?

The upgrade housings are machined aluminum , not pot metal. ;)

[poor247]

well i got some new axles...

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/poor247/Picture127.jpg

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/poor247/Picture129.jpg

i still wanna get a set of black widow axles once the fourlink mounts are done, assuming that they get good reviews...:rolleyes:

[broke it again]

I heard those Holmes Hobbies motor are awesome. I wonder how they compare to my Goat? I wonder if the performance is twice as good.

[poor247]

i LOVE this motor :D it is allmost as fast as my slash and it still has massive torque... and is super super smooth

[poor247]

i got her torn down for a repaint/ bling factor upgrade... there are 3 other army jeeps in my local club so i had to repaint :D plus the body was getting pretty beat


figured i may as well make some fancy aluminum pieces to match the frame...

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/poor247/Picture395.jpg

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/poor247/Picture394.jpg

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/poor247/Picture396.jpg

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/poor247/Picture397.jpg

once i get done with the body work on the body ill post some pictures... anyone wanna though out some ideas for a color? i got a couple in mind but any ideas are welcome

[Dakillswitch]

How about this for a color: Red with black stripes.....

[poor247]

im feeling the red, but stripes arent my style :D i got her painted tonight, ill get it mounted tomorrow and get some pics. unless i go race my slash... :rolleyes:

[Dakillswitch]

So go with the red bud :D
by the way how good are your tires...do they do the job...

[poor247]

tires seem to work good, i cut slits half way through the foams every 1/2 inch or so to soften them up

[Dakillswitch]

Thanks bud :D i was thinking about getting them for the TW
when the ones that are on it will have to go...

http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/poor247/Picture434.jpg






























haha just kidding, made a paper template
http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/poor247/Picture435.jpg

cut it out of styrene,
http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/poor247/Picture436.jpg

got it in primer, but still gotta cut out some windows, and do some minor fitment adjustments
http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/poor247/Picture437.jpg

not to sure about the top view... the door openings arent in the same spot on each side...
http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm281/poor247/Picture438.jpg

[Racer4Life]

Good idea on the styrene. I didn't figure paper would be to good when it got wet. :D

[Dakillswitch]
