Wow ....did he say "long story short" before he said " I got some parts" ? Lol good luck my friend.

Re: I can't believe this is what I have to start with!!!
 

Tie rod is on the wrong side of the axle, but other than that it looks like a good start! :D

On the bright side looks like you will get to start with ALL new parts.

I donno guys, i see lots of potential there ..........

Re: I can't believe this is what I have to start with!!!
 

Well I am doing a build for a member here but he sent it to me just for parts because that is all it was worth. The genius who built it used 6 leaf springs and mounted them all solid at both ends so it had 0 suspension travel. The truck had no gear reduction other than the trans so I have no idea of what they had planed to do with it. A fast semi with no suspension.:eek::confused: The motor wires were attached to the ESC wires by twisting them together and wrapping tape around them and the receiver was mounted right next to the end of the motor so I guess they weren't worried about glitching.:eek:

The good news is it is stripped down to never be seen in person again.:D

That was Joes Prime Mover build ...Never really was a fan with that suspension setup.....Made it to a couple of shows with few runs..Added a pole trailer to it...Like it or not, those rims are hard to come by ..No longer produced by RC4WD
