| These are some older pics of inital assembly of the suspension on the truck. On high lift tires. i did a mock up using the wheels and tires from my Slash since the tires are the same dia as the XTs i was gonna run. I think it looks a lot better with the bigger tire. | |

| The plan for the electronics is this: XL-5 ESC 27T motor JR XS3 Remote with RS310 RX Eventually plan on adding Ram Headlights, As well as some lights on the bumper of some sort. Also plan on running a 3 Racing winch mounted on a plate seperate from the bumper to keep the pulling load focused on the chassis and not on the styrene bumper to keep it in good shape. Found out recently that the XS3 has a switch that may be perfect for winch use. Will know if it works when i get the truck running. I went with RC4wd steel wheels and Mud Slinger tires. I will get pics once the parts arrive. Did some more work on the suspension. Installed the spare set of Losi XXX-S shocks i had kicking around which brought the truck down even lower. Also adjusted the links to get the wheels centered in the wheel wells. Heres how it sat initally when i first assembled it a few months ago. And this is how it sits now. Installed a set of cut down Losi buggy springs that were the softest rate avalable to me at the time since this pic. I also moved the lower links to the outside of the center plate of the chassis and eliminated the large cross members that were in the way of the drive shafts. Going to keep an eye on this area to see if its strong enough to run with out them since most of the stress is on the main chassis not the lower plates. | |
