ahhh, stiff springs. Ok then yes inner will give leverage acting like a softer spring. You can always add swaybars if the twisting starts to bother you.

Body, if it was me a chevy :chev because they're the best :tong

i would go for a chebby but no one makes the style of truck i would like....

 

[william g]

oh see I like the 72 and the 80~s body both a lot since I once owned both styles and still think they lok good, timeless

ok update i think:

waiting on my radio system: traxxas tq2
my motor and esc: traxxas 12t titan w/ xl5 esc
but i have made an esc and radio rx mount with a small piece of aluminum and a BFH...its crude and not very square but it works and seems to be somewhat level for about 15 min worth of bashing and beating.

pics to come in 5 min once i get photos and upload them.

final update

ok well i have finished everything up:
RC4WD rear lockouts
12t titan 550
8t duratrax esc with traxxas connectors
proline 70 f100 body with parma offroad decals
2" strips of sheet steel for body mounts at this time
CPE tnt motorsports flag to hang off the rear

body doesnt look pretty but fits everything nice. so far with a 3000mah batt. it isnt too fast. im going to try a new 5000mah maxamps battery and see what she will do on 7 cells.

here are the pics, let me know what you all think. remember this is my race wheely king-the one to take on those race clods!!!!!
all info is greatly appreciated!!!!

drop your body 1/2''
get some swaybars at least in the rear, even some piano wire hand bent then zip tied to the lower links will work.

i wanna drop the body but i really dont have any body mounts....i used 1" strips of steel attached to the shock bolts to hold them up with servo tape to hold the body. i dont know what else to do since there really is no other place to put body posts? any suggestions?

def going to get some piano wire and make some small sways. its not too bad, i just propped it up for the time being to make it look better

the truck is very very very stiff and handles great.
