Snook Man Can you post some detailed pics of your ride and tell us about your set up. I really like the look.

Snook Man

Not too much to tell.
This truck is based on the stock 2.5 chassis. I made a custom chassis extension similar to the mono block by UE to fit the BB engine and pipe.
I used my own custom shock towers to be able to take advantage of the 1/8th scale ofna LX One shock length and designed the towers to use either the tekno or revo wing mount. the tower also has access for a roto start wand through the rear.
I also modified the shocks with the revo VD shock pistons.
The tranny is a 2.5 tranny with a revo center diff and my custom rear brake setup.
Ofna violator fuel tank, 3.3 spec axle carriers and axles. UE titanium center dog bone drive shafts and cups and EMaxx diffs.

Here's a few pics at varying stages.  I'm building 2 more based on this set up over the winter but using the UE Predator  & Thunder chassis's
I have also figured out how to use the HPI savage dog bones for the wheel axle's and plan to use them on the next builds.

Thanks for the pics, nice work. Where in Fla. do you live? I send about half of my time at the beach in Melbourne.

Naples/Fort Myers area. Been here for 12 years. Don't go to the beach too much any more but spend a lot of time in the keys fishing and diving.
I spent a lot of time in Princeton at an archery shop called Primitive Weapons way back when.
