nice one - chop the body up a bit more on the sides for added clearance ;)

Thank's :smile:. I plan on cutting it more after running itto see if it rubs anywere .

You can see in the clear shot that it drops down below the skid - another option is to heat it an bend it in towards chassis

I think it would look better if i cut rather than bending it in at the bottom . My buddy jeremy suggested running it first before i cut or bend it . To see how much i would need to cut it .

Nice pic's. Got that Florida look I remember.

I stack all my rocks together in one pile. :smile:

lincpimp 05.06.2009 09:52 PM

Looks good Mike! Nice rock course, but you will want to add to it. My buddy started with about that many and in 3 months we had his fence down and put about 5 tons of rocks in his back yard.

rchippie 05.06.2009 09:57 PM

Thank's guys :smile:. I do plan on adding more stuff . But it's in the FR yard . So there may not be to much more i can add in that little area .

Hey Mike, what did you end up doing about the front wheels rubbing the knuckles? Did you get the wider Traxxas hexes after all?
