Thanks for digging this thread back up (bad pun I know)! This truck continues to be one of my favorites. I have a few small updates to it I need to post sometime.

Do you have any pics of the green ghost body? it would look awesome on ur truck

I have some pics of just the body somewhere, I'll see if I can find them and post up a few. I made the wrap for that body using a laser printer and some very expensive self-adhesive printable vinyl.

It runs in the bottom of the cradle on a plate I made. Tucks in there nice and neat and is hidden really well behind the sponsor plates. Unless you are looking for it you don't really notice it. There is even a little room down there still for the scale Optima batteries I am working on cause that is where the are on the 1:1 truck.

Been meaning to get a few new pics up for a bit now. Awhile back I stumbled across that Mo might be willing to let go of his super one off full paint body he had done for his Digger years back..... Well Needless to say I thought "self, you definitely need that body to add to the stable". Long story short a deal was hatched and the body is now my go to show n' shine body for when this truck is just sitting around looking purty.......







And I figured since I had the truck and the camera out I would take a couple of pics of the full Digger stable. Thanks as always for stopping in and checking out the updates!

That body looks amazing. Isn't that from Mo's WK tuber??

Are the bodies in this truck the 1/10 or 1/8?

 

[KingClod27]

1/10...the 1/8 are too big

I never saw an update on the shock setup. Any news on how they perform with mods?

I am actually really pleased with how they do. This truck gets aired out pretty good from time to time and this shock setup seems to handle it well. Tuning them is a little harder due to it all has to be done with internal springs. I have gathered up quite a collection of springs in various lengths and stiffness. Right now it is setup with a fairly stiff spring in one of the shock on each corner and then a fairly light shock oil in the other with no spring that just serves as a dampner. sTruck hooks up really well on most surfaces likes this and has handled the biggest jumps that I am realistically willing to throw at it!

 

[Manfjourde]

Thank you, if you can you should post a vid! I'm hoping to get some of these shocks so I may ask more about your setup for some tips.
