looks good, looks real good


too much integy imo though.
integy is just..a no no


good choice on the engine and such.


i'll say it again.

it looks good!


how much have you got wrapped up in er' right now?
 
all together around $2500.00
Why is it that nobody likes Integy? I think they are the best looking out there.

that is one sweet truck man , i love your body , well the truck body i mean lol

is that an os 30 in that ?
 
did you have to mod the engine to fit it in ? like where the low speed needle linkage is, or is there one especially for the revo ?
 
Just ask Monkey Wrench about his experience with Integy, he loves their Customer (NO) Service department. It looks great, I'm assuming it is a shelf queen.

It looks like a new era big block kit. I used that to install a BB in my revo once. Now it's on the shelf... To much power for so light of a truck.

Is that an OS 30 or 21? Their heads look similar now so it's hard to tell.
 
Nice shelf queen.....now drive it!!!!


Just kidding ...looks god for what it is....;)
 
Be careful when you put the Queen back on her shelf or you will bend the Integy arms. The others weren't kidding about the strength issue. I tried using some shocks they make on my 1/18th scale truck and they got bent while running on a road course. It is sweet looking truck.
 
i'd go with the resonator pipe from traxxas, myself. the trinity runs nice, i had one, but i think the resonator would look nicer on your rig.

also... for some nice looks, you should do the single servo conversion and put the single arm from proline underneath. while you're at it, the tekno stuff for the throttle servo and RX box would add a nice touch.

other than that... just don't run it. too much aluminum, lol. i have some integy parts on my truck, but nothing that's under any true stess.

are you going to be taking it to any shows?
 
Slick lookin truck, but I do hate integy as much as most people. I used a few of their parts on my T-maxx, and they broke fairly quick. Nice lid too!
 
This looks like a neat machine, first time I see a A.Kilian body.
He is worth the buck :)

Now, you may have the the answer to a few questions I have:

1. Never found a shiny alloy box for the transmission.
2. How long did you wait for this body?
3. I can not locate a alloy/ polished (chrome) air intake piece to get rid of the cheap looking plastic.

I have not found a tranny case yet nor have I found aluminum bulkheads.
As far as the Body A K lives here local and I just call him when I need something.
I'm not sure on the intake piece but I haven't looked alot if you ever come across one please let me know
Do you like A K's work or have you ever ordered a body from before?

I unfortunately went another route after he had not responded for a while, he seems busy but if I find the time I will give him a call or drop him a email.
I dumped my initial paintwish and am now on to more "normal" things.
What I really need is a internal lighting kit, to give the interior a shine.

As far as the intake piece, I am considering having one manufactured from stainless steel, so, it's going to be expensive but hopefully well done, same goes for a exhaust pipe, then hopefully exiting the truck straight out the rear.
I am also talking to a guy that does "chroming" and sooner or later it will work the way I want it :)

I don't know if there are any old pics from my truck swimming along here, I have not taken any lately. Except for my stock engine and different rims& tires I bought everything Integy makes for this truck, much to the amusement of some here. All I have left are a complete set of arms (blue alloy) and the knowledge that I can crash & trash my basher revo any way I want, as all the stockparts are here twice :)
