The tires are about 5.5" tall. They use 14mm hex and have the least offset of any wheel tire combo I had. That is when I decided this would be a road vehicle. Figure I can use P3 rockers, swaybars and some hard springs to get good consistent wheel control on pavement. I will be making a roll cage of sorts out of brake line to support the body. Make it match the roof and bed to support the body if it rolls. I will also make hidden bumpers/body mounts for the front and rear for addl support. |

You should have kept both the chassis' diff mounts, and ran two 2200 combos, each on 5 cell. That would have been crazy!

The foams are surprisingly sticky, plus I can always put some traction compound on them! The chassis will probably just get painted whatever color we are spraying the day I decide to paint it... |

This is a cool project. In board shocks with cantilever suspension, narrow chassis, hmmmm.... I see an F1 or an Indycar. I thought FTW was for Feed The World.

oh yea I have some of that tire compound.
wish you knew where you got those tires. that's heck of alot easier to mount than my FG wheels with square hub and 5/16 hole  How did you find the body ? very cool to use a truck, maybe slamm it or do like a stock race car/truck or somethin Hey Linc did I infect you with the super sizing of a emaxx/revo ? Glad to see someyone else doing it
