I took the previous chassis apart to install my MFU unit then got carried away and decided to slap some of my protoype parts on Junfac braces.

Hey Alex, great car, great pics, as we're used of you, or at least were used of you.

Didn't you announce getting out of the hobby a while back? I remember you saying something which sounded like: "keep an eye on e-bay as I'm unloading soon"

Anyhow, real glad to see you're back!

lol, i was wondering the same thing. nice to know youre still around dude.

i happen to be putting together my first hilift this weekend. i have had an absolute blast putting it together so-far.

your leaf spring blocks, are those able to just clamp one single leaf?

would it be at all possible to get them without the captured edges for the leafs? i can grind them down, but not near as nice. also, black anodizing would be really cool, especially for this kind of rig.

i think that front bumper is cool, but it completely wrecks and hope of a decent approach angle.

I did... and I did. All the Tamiya stuff is gone. The remaining few hundred models are supposed to be placed on Ebay sometime in September from what I've been told. This F-350 was just a project I've had laying around for a while.

I don't think so. You'd have to add a small slice of material to fill up the extra gap.

You'd have to grind them down. These are manufactured thousands at a time. I'd hate to have them change the CNC programming for a few or even one set. Sorry Hoopty.
