Battery monitor mounted under front roll bar for easy visibility from rear or top.

Cover notched out and fail safe mounted on switch.

It has a Big Daddy filter. This is just a reservoir for extended lid time.

Air filter moved forward and down. Cold air intake and no obstruction in the way of moving air to the cooling head.

Silver spray on the roll bars and front bumper. Several real aluminum add-ons on order.
I'm waiting for BOUTCH. His is absolutely beautiful.

I forgot to post the pics of the wide stance. Imex rims and tires.

god dang , thats a beast with those tires, and yeah martin'S is really nice , (bling bling ) and screams at high rpm's , i saw 'er the other day and wow, i missed the smell of nitro, i havent had my revo out in a while.
 
It's been a while for me too. I'm ready to start inhaling nitro fumes again.
The Imex deep dish rims put her stance at 18 1/2 inches wide. Monstrous.
 
It's actually just a cheap filter with a screen. It serves the same purpose as a long fuel line. Just holds extra lid time in a neat little tank. The big daddy is on top.
 
Like it for sure

DAMN STRAIGHT!!!! Nice rig Rolex, and i think I'm gonna steal the air filter idea...if u dont mind of course!!!
 
WOW!
Very nice truck Rolex!

I think I will steal your air filter idea when I get mine up and running!
I am assuming that it is just plastic pipe zipped tied inside the air filter necks?

Any ways, you have a very nice truck and I can't wait to see more of it!!
 
Great job on the build Rolex. Do you plan on running her or will it be a shelf queen sitting next to your copy of VRC?

Oh, please, please, don't make me do that! :LoL:
I had to think for a minute to remember what I used to connect the two air filter necks.
You can get a little sewing kit in any grocery store with needles, tiny scissors and several spools of different colored threads for about $2 or less. I dumped the pink thread. The little spools have a lip on each end to keep the thread on, and also serve to lock inside the silicone tubes once the twist ties are on.

LMAO. I keep the Savvy parked on top of the VRC disk to keep the dust off it.
 
Its for that when the truck finds itself up side down, it give more time before the engine shuts off...=devil

Is that a steel roll bar and is the thing in the middle of the fuel tube, what is that?

It's the black roll bar that's mounted stock, and the head guard that comes with it. Both painted silver.
Cheap0 fuel filter that holds a few more seconds of fuel, and also lets you see that there's fuel getting to the engine.
