I've been lurking around here for a while and decided I wanted to share my newest build or should I say rebuild. First off I replaced the stock chassis with a JunFac chassis, then I added alloy cross members, then I added spools, heavy duty axles and axle houses from rc4wd. I also installed softer springs and made custom links for steering. This is were I was going to leave it, but then I saw JunFac release a 4-link set up that didn't require me to hack up my chassis. So the first pictures are from July when I built the truck. I will get some of my new build up as it progresses along

Thanks for the kind words, now I'll show you some of the work I have done. If I had my camera I'd show the finished truck , but my wife took it to Lousianna. First I'll show my truck with the 1.9 Rock Stompers I won this past Chirstmas. So enjoy

Here are some more pics. I did have one problem and that was that the steering servo was to high, first it hit the frame rail and second it put to much of an angle on the steering link. So I added some custom spacers to lower and angle the servo forward in hopes that it would help with any bump steer. I will find out as soon as I get out for a test run. So enjoy and thanks for you great comments.

Thanks for all the nice comments. I however can not take credit for the paint job. I found the truck on ebay several years ago and have been tinkering with it ever since. As for the times all I can say is Sempi Fi to all those that have or are serving this great nation.

We tried to video of my truck in action, but my wife somehow paused the camera instead of letting it record. I then lost my rear driveshaft, no thread lock DUH!!, so we couldn't try again. We will be back up there in July so I will definetly try and get a video.
