Any updates Gaz? 

 

Erm. Yeah a few little bits, I’ll get some pics taken and posted up tomorrow.

 

still want/need some more bits like the new ssd front bumper with winch mount, pit bull rock beast xl’s, portal weights, maybe a few alloy upgrades......

 

god its happening all over again   

[trxrincon]

Sounds cool, it gets rather expensive doesn't it! I've got brass portal,covers to go on mine along with alu rear bumper and mud flaps oh and door handles.

Tis true - perhaps dealership-sold, <5-year-old ones ...

 

Al.

Looks top notch mate  would be my dream RC with this wheels http://store.rc4wd.com/Spectre-19-Beadlock-Wheels_p_5029.html.

Gaz,

That looks great well done mate, can I ask which light bar you went for? Once I've worked out my lighting I want a light bar to match.

It’s the Rc4wd one mate, if you look closely, one off the bolt heads have sheared off, retail was £55.99, I got it with the broken bolt for £20.

can live with that. It’s the 6” one mate.

Too right.

 

was in Martin’s (Rc-bitz) box of scale bargains at the last nationals.

you can get cheap enough strip lights off eBay and just fashion some kind of mounting bracket 

[Gavster29]

I'm not in a rush to be fair, I have been trying to write some code for my light setup which will take a while plus a winch to fit

Bit more of a update, 

 

decided, from the off, it needed a new front bumper and by gosh, found one.

 

made by grc (I have one of the on/off switch mods from them too)

 

really nicely finished and well made,

 

 

Also would have been rude not to get the alloy bumper mount too,

 

 

 

All mounted up,

 

 

 

 

winch isn’t wired up yet, will be after the Christmas rush along with the next batch of hop-ups.....

Looks sooo much better with that bumper

Lol, I have a few of them, makes a nice alternative to a tax disc  

[heavyleftthumb]

looking good buddy nice to see it finally arrived lol. should take alittle bit more abuse now lol

 

[Gaz!]

Lmao yeah around the 5 week mark, shocking in my opinion. The bag did have yodel on it though so not that surprised really....

 

thats the plan, if the end caps keep getting hung up, I can take them off. Approach angle without the winch plate is excellent so once I get my hands on a set of pitbull rockbeast xl’s on there should be good.

 

my god, it’s never ending though....
