I like the shock tower. Totally different and grown on me once it's on there.

That's looking great. So no shims were needed for that rear tower?

I hadn't really noticed before, but I really like the chassis color.

Really digging that grey!

it should have one. i need to measure it up to see what thickness it'll have to be. just eyeballing it, might be around .015.

just so everyone knows what we're talking about.....

the rear tower on a t2 is 1/8" thick. it gets sandwiched between the bulkhead and the trans case at the bottom. the cf is slightly thinner than the fiberglass tower, so a shim is needed to take up the space.

little update......

i just scored a full set of ft b44 v2 shocks for the runner. super happy with the price.

one reason i wanted the rear tower to accept 1.18's.

sneek peek of what will be the new, wider front arms.

Not digging the purple holes

a little bit.

i'll discuss them more later, once i know that they're gonna do what i want them to do.

Any updates to this project?

nah, not really. i haven't had much quality r/c time lately. but, the new front arms are cut and that step was holding it up a bit.

how come ive never seen this thready...i thought i was the only one that thought this would make a great buggy...man that b1.5 is one bad mofo

What steering setup on you using on this? Is it the T2 setup?
