My Custom Works! Pics! ALL DONE!

Post by PBR Allstar »

So this is kind of my dirt oval version of the "what's old is now a lot newer" theme. So far I have a custom slider chassis that started life as a Tim Dipenti GBX chassis that I had him leave all the rear arm mount and transmission holes out of and I milled and drilled it for Custom works direct drive mounting plates. The D/D plates are carrying a traxxas 4420 Pro Ball diff, which fits without modification, that is carrying a kimbrough 120 tooth spur. The shocks are asscociated hard anno TC3 shocks with VCS conversions. Those are mounted up to Dynotech adjustable rear arms, and standard front arms on the bottom, and a stock GBX front tower with a heavily modified GBX rear tower. The rear hub carriers are JRC with B3 CVD's spinning in Avid bearings.

To be continued....
