My project is almost finished. So far I have alum. idler, wide-pede conversion (rear pede arm) w/ rpm carriers on all four, jato camber links on the rear and old school stock wheels w/ proline moabs. I still want to get four associated shocks, custom body and the mamba 5700 system. LMK what you guys think!
how are the moabs? are they more stable then masher 2ks since there thinner?

He was banned before but I think they let him back.

I don't even think a quad may geared high on 10 cells would go 45...

Awesome truck Nick. I have a question about your wide body conversion. Is this mostly for looks, handling, or both? Im sure a wider truck will roll over less frequently, but does it reduce rollovers enough to justify the upgrade for someone who just wants to improve handling?

Widening the front to make it equal the back should make it more stable and more predictable, but I'm not gonna say if its worth it. I'm really sick of going through spur gears, so if anyone knows of a cheap simple mod let me know.

The wide pede mod is definitely worth it. The truck has not rolled over since I have completed it (last sunday) and the truck actually turns now!! instead of doing a 180 spin it TURNS hahaha. The mod I completed is very durable from what I have tested so far. Some unintentional endos and cartwheels and still goin strong! I really need to get my drivers license though so I can go out and do some REAL bashing out at this dirt pit/lot by my house. Not 1 of the 4 other people in my family (all of whom can drive) will ever take me to do anything. So I can't wait for my six months of permit to be up.

Sounds like you need to do a mod to get a metal motor mount in there. I have read a couple different ones and sleepy on this forum did his own mod but it really is pretty easy to do. This would allow you to tighten everything down so it doesn't slip.

You can shorten the springs and change the position to the outermost hole in the a arms. Shortening the springs would work best though.

Not a chance. They're nothing in comparison in anything besides sand/dirt.

what are those things called at the bottom of the shocks? not the spring retainers, but the bottom of the shock shaft that goes up & down connecting to the a-arms on the pedE?

It make it hard to roll it over. I went full bore down the road and hung it right and it just spun. And ya , it looks cool too. But I did it mostly for handling.

Suprisingly, they are really stable for the size of the side wall and how soft of a compound they are. I beleive they are made for climbing. But they don't fold over like you would think. I like them alot.
