Default Creative Ways the Pede Projects

As with many of my fellow Pede enthusiasts I enjoy any nice day when the sun is shining and the skies are clear for some good times bashing and trying to put the Pede through anything and everything i can find that i shouldnt normally do. LOL But even on those rainy days when i dont run the Pede I still cant put it away and I have to find time to just do something. Now ive seen some really cool ideas out there for those pedes such as the many different ways to modify them from wide Pedes to 4x4 Pedes and even the most respected Highbred Pede's such as Sleepy's Pede.
So if any of you have any new or even crazy ideas that just might work lets getem posted and see if we can help one another out here. If you dont have the tools or means to do it maybe someone can try it out that has the means to do it, just a drawing or picture can create so many posibilities. Currently i am working on a new design for a wheelie bar that ive never seen on anything out there so far. Ive done the most common mods such as Wide conversion, carriers and bearings, aluminum idler, brushless motor esc combo, aluminum parts, lowered body, lowering the center of gravity. ect.
So lets see what you all have done either by description or pics.

Also i am on the quest of searching for any and all shocks that will work on the Pede front and rear. And preferably aluminum body shocks with or without piggyback systems any ideas?
Heres a few pics of my pede so far

the wheelie bar is nice but how close is it to the motor wires. it almost looks like its right on top of it , one bad landing and your going to fry everything. mine is a small bar that goes under the chassie and bends up

it actually sits about 3/8 of an inch away in hieght from the contacts and about 3/16 of an inch from the side spacing as well i have also added a protective rubber pad to the arm of the wheelie bar since I took those pics right now I am still working on the design of the wheelie bar to make improvements to the prototype. Also right now this wheelie bar is adjustable in the hieght but most of all i was trying to get away from the design that is currently available for the Pedes i wanted to go with something that reasembled a actual wheelie bar look and design. Thank you for your input and compliment on the wheelie bar. Also any ideas anyone may have please feel free to add input.

I use the Traxxas big bore shocks on my race pede. They fit perfectly, and are aluminum.

do you know if the big bore traxxas aluminum shocks and also the duratrax shocks are the only one that have been found to work on the pedes?

Also does anyone know where i could find some aluminum rims for the pedes? possibly even aluminum rims with beadlocks?
Thank you all in advance for your info and help.

CT4Life thank you very much for the links on those wheels I think im going to have to order me a set soon and i think the bead locks are the way to go plus they will really look sweet on a Pede. LOL i guess im just a sucker for aluminum.
