I like your caster/camber link setup! Looks nice and beefy!

ugliest car every fo sho. I'm willing to help you out though. Place it in a well padded box and ship it to me ASAP. You can thank me later when you realize all the happiness and dough I would've saved you. But you need to hurry, before wife changes her mind and allows you to keep it.

@Steve, thanks.
@Joel, when my wife saw me last night doing some stuff with it she immediately gave me the treatment, which i have to stop immediately.

Had some time to install the electronics and will post some pics later.getting her prep up for tomorrow with some guys at the tracks.
Mine will be the oldest as im going head to head with the modern B4 and dex 210, just hope i could finish with out having to break anything...hahhahha


Cheers!,,

Looks good! I've never seen truck shocks and towers on one of the buggies before. What are the advantages to using the truck parts?

with the rear tower you can 'slam' your body down alot lower than a standard buggy rear tower. But it also stands your shocks straight up and down making it a little unforgiving so its a push/pull type thing. Some guys like it and some don't. Personally, I like it for oval but was hard for me to get a handle on the offroad...unless its just my driving ability

Thanks for the quick answer!

so i had time .. again and was able to put all the Electronics. getting ready for our get together tomorrow at a local (Free Track) with friends.

so here she is with all Electronics installed.















So i found the slipper and when i tried to put in the gear cover, the holes i made did not line up with the screw, so i changed the motor plate and here she is.

Will be using my beat up body for the mean time, dunno what to buy for my runner... any ideas guys?

thanks.

The good thing about Klein arms is they are rigid and you can drill holes inbetween the standard ones. I still have a hole that can move and adjust my shocks.its limited but it can be adjusted. Will post tomorrow after i run it....

Nice car - did you bend the nose tubes yourself and drill holes in the chassis for them?
