Hey Stoney yes plz (will be a big help)

right now im sort of biasing it off of TIGS new era (tnks bud! ) and taking some inspiring looks at RICKS tt (simply amazing)
Bigmodman o ya theres going to be lots of over built parts and should all be riding on a hpi baja shocks.

you guys think a 29 cc will do good for moving this beast. if not i will just look for something more.

T I G

Heres lookin at you Speedy, any time my friend.

[X(] OOOOOOOOOH Ricks TT
Heres a few snap shots for everyone to drool over. Its got to be the best and most detailed TT ever built. Photos care of QSL.

Q.S.

Ok speedy. im still looking when i can. Hey you want a good shock do what i did and get a lift support for a hood or trunk and drill a hole in the lower chamber to release the nitrogen. then sand it and fill the hole with J B weld then Build the top & bottom spring retainer and use valve springs from a real Engine. thet dont get any bigger or stronger than that. thats the type of setup that im making for my Beretta. would work Great on a truck two I got there link on my site. www.quarterscaleberetta.com

speedygonzales

thats the one!

so i have about 4 months to get mine together for Monster Jam (if im envited) where it will see endless big jumps for the whole event.
with my current slow start (ERRR) and school starting in a qouple of weeks and my part time job the build is going to need all the time it can get.

i have some wierd ideas but should get this beast rolling.

speedygonzales

Q.S.

Q.S.

Hey tig sorry about cuttin you short on that PM I'll get back to yaa a little later on them other things i diddent reply to.

speedygonzales

wow those do look good!
going to need to see if theres anything suitable for the rear.
how is it when you push it down? maybe also need a shock with no spring just for dampening?

TIG i will draw that pic now, just rememberd

Q.S.

They push down easy after you release the nitrogen. you will defently need a spring there isint much force needed at all to compress it. im going with BB chevy valve springs for the Beretta. but there are also spring that would work at most home improvement stores like they use on spring Garage doors. and they have them in different strenghs as well. I think they would work Great on your truck exspecialy if you are going to be going off road with it. jumps and all.

Q.S.

Hey speedy if you do go with that shock setup when you go to release the nitrogen make a wood jig to put it in and screw it down through the eye holes and screw down a piece of wood on both sides a little taller than the lift support. then make a board for the top and drill a few holes down the center of it and line up one of the holes with the lower chamber on the lift support then screw that board down then use a punch to make the hole. there is alot of preasure in them things. i just sat my jig setup on the ground it wont move when you pop it. then drill the hole a little bigger so the epoxy will adhere good to it. I soaked them in hot soapy water for a few hours then comprssed up and down quite a few times then did the same in fresh hot water then let set to dry for a few days then filled the hole.

Q.S.

If you cant fig out how to make that jig let be know and I'll post a few pics of the one i made and you can go from that then.

bigmodman

oh hey stoney i will have to do that soon also.it will be for my rock crawler im making.if you dont mind could you post up some pics of the jig so i can make mine.

speedygonzales

i was just going to say if i would need one lol.
i understand what your saying, a pic wont hurt just to make sure.
you going to do any others soon? how did you get the springs in them????

the shock has more of a springy feeling right?

Q.S.

Hey speedy & bigbodman give me a minute im getting ready to upload some pics of that jig setup. speedy the springs go on the outside of the shock bud. give me a few guys and you will see.
