Default RE: Let's see your Monster Truck

I really want a set of lunsford turnbuckles, but there kinda pricey.. I've been looking more into JD Carbon for my rig. I want my truck to stay lightweight when it comes to parts. There will probably never be a "done" for me. There are so many more things I want to do with my truck to make it better and faster... Here's some old pics of my revo:

Yea but titanium is pretty heavy. Looking back at my post I look like a hypocrite since I'm running beadlocks but I plan on selling those after my finals are over.

If I do get them I will probably only get one set for my steering linkage were I need it. The rest I'll just leave the traxxas tubes on.

I got a few new goodies for my Savage to beat up...Integy rear hub carriers, GPM C-hubs and steering blocks, and Blue Groove sway bars.

I've SERIOUSLY considered these...if Tower had them in stock, I would've bought 'em.

How many degrees of toe-in do they carry?

They're zero degrees of toe...the only carriers I've seen with any toe-in are the ones that come with the HPI suspension conversion kit.

Thanks for the compliments, Mr. Terminator!

They've got no toe-in..

But the negative camber... [X(] - especially noticeable with offset wheels..

LOL^^^^^^^ Nice truck drivefast..

Nitrovenom: The JD Carbon links are great, but there is one mounting issue with them. You have to use traxxas rod ends, and those ends are a little big where they screw on. Easy to fix with fuel line though. I believe they have a lifetime warranty too, I'm running his carbon hingepins too, and carbon hingepin braces. They are SUPER light too, still holding up with some decent hits for the 1 and 1/2 gallons that they are on my truck. Tom.

Hehe, thats why I bought it. Those are pretty costly as a model, they are around 22 years old, and run for $150 NIB. I plan to make this one R/C with everything scale inside when I get $$$. Looking for a Saito or comparable 4 stroke with ALL the options inside, I'm saying water cooling hopefully a working interior, thhe works. Its not nearly assembled so thats why it looks so crummy, still need to fix a crack in the rear quarter panel, ordered parts for it and will be repainting sometime soon hopefully.[8D]
