Got New Shocks and Shoes

[abadk9420]

Well I think I got mycrawler pretty much where I want it, the dig is installed and working, I got my new body on and mounted with the EEM Velcro body kit, it works awesome Joe!!!, and to complete the package I now have new tires and wheels

You got to love Pep Boys Auto, 27oz 9 3oz strips of stick on weight for free

Weighted rear wheel 4.5oz on each wheel, 8.5 on each front

My custom oversized 2 stage foam

The new shoes

The Finished Product

I also added Losi crawler shocks that I installed inverted to help keep the CG as low as posible.

Thanks I like the white too, I wanted some clean and simple looking.

Exactly what Rollin said Hb rovers with Proline 8 shooters, I am going to try making more 2 stage foams for the rear too the stock foams by them selves just seem to soft IMO....

So far so good, I was a little concerned about the ride height but with the new tires I am fine now sitting at about 2-3/4", I also inverted them, I don't know how much difference it is going to make, but the heavier part of the shock is down low...

Thanks rollin it is done for now and I think it came out pretty well too, here are a couple picks of the dig installed with the full size servo mount, the losi shocks which I was able to make the stock mounts that come with it work by drilling them out insted of using fiel tubing, and the body pretty well trimmed to to allow for the new tire clearence.

abadk, that's one nice looking crawler man. I too like the white on the body. And you gave me an idea, I'm gonna hit up the auto parts stores this week for some stick on weights.

Thanks for the props guys, now I just got to get better at driving the beast, LOL!!!

Not sure if you have Pep Boys Auto it is a parts store/repair shop, but you might have more luck at a place like that or even just a tire shop where they would have boxes of a hundred laying around. A auto parts place would probably charge for them...
