p.s. likin those arms dyed black. Might try a set of mine in a color to see how they do

Build them, they aren't worth anything now that the 12mm's are released! Mmmmmmm

the v2's i got will work just fine for someone that doesn't care all that much about racing off-road.

I *suspect* that the v2 would work for pretty much anyone that is racing. the 12mm's are 'nice to haves' otherwise, big bore would have been 'all the rage' 15-20 yrs ago.

I suspect someone made that statement about 2.2 tires and wheels around 1988 too

ehh....I dunno. I think tire construction more than the actual bead diameter is what is really effective. could get the same effect in 2.0" with barcodes, soft compounds, foam liners etc.

ANYWAY, sorry for the thread derailment. We'll be able to reflect back on these comments in the distant future when we get more build updates

lookin' good Scr8p!

NEAR future.

ok, i whipped up some temporary tie rods. now i can measure them to get lunsfords. also got the shocks built. eventually, i'll pickup a b4 topshaft and related slipper items so i can button up the trans.

Looks AWESOME!!!!

Mmmmmmm

I'll take your V2 hand me downs

Slow down, man! You've made waaaay too much progress on this build.

Looks great, though!

have no fear, progress should halt for awhile now.

Wow you have been making progress. I just started a 1.5 style build after finding a chassis in great shape. I am going to try the T nose with some alternate arms. I went a little too old school on the rear tower (widened and lenthened stocker) so I may steal er I mean borrow your rear tower pic and change it up just a tad.

i don't think there's anything really wrong with that tower, other than maybe the round holes. they don't fit with the triangles in the bulkhead. that's why i liked my original design (worlds style) but i couldn't incorporate the rear body mount the way i wanted.

Nice progress!

Hey,guys those towers look great! where's a good place to get the stock for that and what do you use to cut them so nice? they came out really good
