Aftershock - Let the Adventure Begin!

[Racer 1966]

Well anyone who's been here a while probably knows I'm a Savage guy. But I bought an Aftershock roller so I can fix it up(which I like as much as bashing).
Looks like I'm going to be starting with an STS .28 engine. Anyone want to tell me where the weak points are on these trucks? :thumbup:

Wheels. Stock are crap.

 

[Racer 1966]

Wow! Just wheels is all I have to worry about??? This may be a keeper truck!

I got a bad azz Mach 26 motor for you Racer, it has some aftermarket tweaks for plenty of 'breathing' and easier after-run maintenance. You really can't go wrong with this motor.









Of course, you can't really go with it either.

Good luck on the build and be sure to keep us updated with pics.

The wheels are the only things that i had problems with. In the 5 gallons of 30% nitrotane, all i have broken was one front upper control arm. (double backflip gone wrong)

the stock motor brace that goes from the upper chassis to the center skid is a HUNK OF CRAP. Buy the dynaMite brace and you're set there. When I started bashing hard ((way over the top stuff) I started busting fuel tanks so I got some alloy fuel tank mounts and put an o ring on the posts to add a little flex. That should fix most of the problems you will have.

What do you mean by way over the top stuff?

Coach likes to climb trees with his Aftershock and go for swims in the creek too.

 

[Racer 1966]

I jumped a storage shed with my Savage,errrrrr... attempted too!

MrClean, you talking about the one with extra ventilation in the crankcase? :whhooo:

Thanks for the tips Coach and Alpine!

Does he try to jump into the creek from the trees?...LOL

Yeah....... couldn't help myself....LOL

I thought you did a pretty good job at jumping the shed!

So far I've broken the stock motor brace, one shock shaft, and a couple of a-arms. I think I might have gotten a weak shock shaft to begin with, since it broke just driving around. Everything else broke when I drove into the wall.

There's just something about those immovable objects............
