For those on AE's forum know who I am, and have prob. seen this thread.. I am posting this hear to get others ideas and thoughts of my build:
Ok after getting my used 4.6 for a great deal, I decided to upgrade the engine to the LRP .30, so I decided to upgrade the tranny to the 8.0........
Shown in pics: New 8.0 tranny, new LRP .30, new 8.0 chassis, new body for the 4.6, paint and other misc. items........ Not shown are my new 23mm adapt. and tire setup that I will be adding to the rebuild as well......... I also plan on adding an extra fuel tank since I know the LRP engine is gonna suck up nitro quick.... Oh and I was finally able to find some Byron's 20% fuel at a hobby shop down the hill from where I live....
Got a few things done:
1. LRP .30 Engine Sealed
2. MGT 8.0 Tranny test fitting with stock 4.6 engine and then just to see how it looks with LRP engine
3. New Wheels and tires
4. Dual tanks (just test fitted tank)
Need to do:
1. Finish installing 8.0 tranny
2. Install 2nd tank, and run hosing via t fittings
3. Install LRP .30
4. Paint New Body
5. Clean entire truck before final assembly, and then put everything together and break it in......
Due to work and me having two other projects I'm working on, this one is gonna take some time, as far as the other two I'll post pics of those when I'm done ;-)
