Feeling Blue Too!!
I really like Ricks blue build, and had my blue (leftovers build) truck staring at me:
Yanked off the wheels, grabbed my set of Jeepz arms and started building (or rebuilding)

Re: Feeling Blue Too!!
Tecnacraft turnbuckes, jeepz arms, custom JK hacked front tower. I just grabbed the closest shock springs I could find and put them on there. The rear turnbuckles are a touch too long, cant get the right camber adjustment (that will be fixed). Didnt really put time into refilling the shock correctly, so when I am swapping springs (guidance here is appreciated) I will tend to the shocks to make them race ready.
I do plan on running this one, probably put a chassis sheet on it, aiming for 27T/17.5, havent decided true old school or not. I have the white servo mounts I plan on using, just didnt install them.

Re: Feeling Blue Too!!
finally got out to the track, with proper springs too
Here is a shot of it with some fresh paint, still wet from the brush...I will get an "as run" photo in the morning, with the new clear wing mounted up:

Re: Feeling Blue Too!!
I ran the car for the first time a few days back. I have the wrong piston/oil combo, car was really bouncy. Handled pretty good for no tuning at all

Re: Feeling Blue Too!!
I havent been that happy with the way the car handles, just couldnt get good front bite
So I was looking over the difference in the front suspension geometry between the stock CE and this one. The angle of the front shocks is way layed in VS the CE, so I deducted this could be my main issue. After contacting RC Carbon Works, I have their Hybrid tower for the RPM style OIN front ends. Worked a charm (on my front yard test area), I am planning on testing at the track tomorrow for a full rundown.
