Going to trim it and cut the flanges off to give it a more official look.

I also still have to order a new rod end for the front left shock because one snapped. Im thinking that this will work- http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXMYY7&P=Z

I also am in need of ideas on how to mount 3 big 12v 3.6lb PB's.Im thinking steel 90' brakets will work great.

How did you snap a rod end??

What shape are the batteries? you could use some aluminum angle stock for support and straps to keep them from going up and out.

Snapped it on a high landing back in the summer. About a 4ft jump landing on one arm. Thats alot of stress for a 1/5.

Yeah that's one thing I have seen about 5th scales. A nice crash and you have to spend 40-200 dollars to fix it.:tongue: Even a little piece like you need costs a lot... Part cost is too much for me.

But hey, you gotta pay to play:rules:

Thats so true. Thankfully this is built very well and never had any issues with it except for that which is minor.

Metallover 12.23.2008 11:45 PM

hwo long did you drive it around as a gasser?

Takedown 12.23.2008 11:52 PM

For about 6 tanks.:lol: Got tired of the mess and it was extremely loud with the xcan pipe.

Ok guys made a dual arm overhang for the plow which will make lifting the plow easier than having it lifted from the stock bar. Im going to bench test it on a 1/18 servo just to see if its that easy to raise/lower.
