this is my re-pop lunchbox, it has been fun. i recently added the fx10 front suspension, losi shocks, braces and lights to it. i ordered those $$ aluminum body mounts to...we are having a vintage race (fun run) at my track in a few weeks and i will be ready! should be some laughs.....

looks good. The alloy body mounts hold up well, worth the price. I like the support rod on the wheelie bar, it really needs something like that. I have pushed a wheelie bar up and through the trans case from hard landings.

one more bit of bling you can add to strengthen it:

I have one mounted, but haven't really had the chance to run it yet to see how it holds up.

That is awesome how the frontend is setup. Huge improvement!!

aconsola.....my gear box was getting gauged from the wheelie bar and it was only a matter of time until it was ruined. I think i'm all blinged out on this one, thx tho i never seen that.

sonic, thx for posting the pic. when i try, they are to big to post.

the fx-10 suspension is a pain. I was patient and with the help of the internet figured out how to modify it to work. I enjoyed the challenge and digging through my "parts" to find hardware. cutting and drilling was neccessary....

I have that on my Lunchbox it works and looks great

what exactly does that part do for the truck?? is it like a swaybar or does it help geometry of rear shocks?

[aconsola]

it has multiple mounting spots for the shocks, but more importantly, it ties both sides of the plastic gearbox together with an aluminum brace.

ok thx, this area hasn't been a issue but i'll keep my eyes on it. if anything, yes...it does look good which may be enough reason.
