PICS: revised 5b..STREET VERSION!!

[itsalifeworthliving]

i hate getting it dirty, so this is my "alter-ego" street version of 5b...straight up, nitro smoking, car chaser. its a pretty simple conversion.besides stripping it down and cleaning every nut and bolt(wasn't dirty any way..o.c.d.) i dropped it down 1.25 inches, put 70wt in the rear and 55wt in the front w/ hyper adjust piston on the tightest hole and trude up 3 rears and one front. useing parma tire traction it hooks up like a train on tracks!! the only thing I'm trying to figure out is the front and rear stabilzer set up. the stock ss set up does nothing for street tuning

Cool man! How quick is the turn-in on the street with those front tires worn down?

 

[itsalifeworthliving]

front tires arent worn..i shaved and taped them so they dont balloon out wich makes it unstable(23lbs). suprisingly it turns pretty quick. like most 2 wheel drive buggys, you get alot of on power push. as long as I'm on clean pavement thats not rittled with rock salt and winter sand it hooks up impresibly well.

 

[Lessen]

Yeah, I figured with so much caster it would turn in REAL hard on pavement. Cool deal man!

Just don't run near doughnut or coffee shops and you should be okay. j/k I have some good friends that law enforcement officials and tease them about this thing. Usually as long as no one complains they won't say anything.
