My 5b thread

[_paralyzed_]

She was named. Her name is B.O.A.T.

I added a purple billet handle to the motor, and a purple MSD plug wire w/ MSD head.

I got in my turtle racing quick change diff tranny case.

Put piggybacks on the shocks. (piggybacks, or better shocks in general are crucial for 5b's and serious bashers. With that big shock shaft there is enough area displaced inside the shock that a little bladder cap is not enough. Consequently seals blow and shocks fail. The closed cell foam in the piggyback compresses to compensate for the area displaced by the shock shaft.)

Some carbon fiber here. Some bling there. Pics to come.

Me either. This thing is easy to work on and fun to build. I'm gonna make her pretty and then beat the living snot out of her.

Want a stock 23? I binned that right off. I have another $1500 to put into it. (2x NOS, a carbon fiber body, tgn brake kit, etc., etc.)

I cannot belive that I am the first to make a comment on the "depends" you are using as a photo prop...

Besides that this thing looks great dude!!! I should have kept mine and converted, or gone big with the motor like you did... Oh well, really want a 5th scale 4x4 something, but I figure that the gun hobby will suck the small amount of cash I have for the next year or so...

No shame in my game I was just thinking, "Pimp hasn't been in my thread, we NEED some pimpery".

And Voila! There you were. They are actually underpads for "just in case". I've used them as packing to ship stuff all over the world. The people receiving them must be like "WTF!!"

I thought I had wiped my memory of that. I had to re-visit the first page to see what you were talking about. Now I feel closer to Harold in a way that I wasn't ready for. I think I will need therapy to erase it this time.

It's those pads that Harold stuffs into Hippies mouth so the neighbors don't hear him screaming and moaning.
