Popular Post walkbythesea Posted July 4, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Just stuck on with tape for now and not trimmed to fit properly, just to gauge the look…. To flare or not to flare…? Edited July 4, 2021 by walkbythesea 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 flared i think 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Id say no flares, just lower the body some more if you can, I think the flares make the wheel holes look even bigger and those small wheels dont seem to fill them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badcrumble Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Narrow the axles 😶 Or fit the flares for a more scale look. Bigger tyres unless you need all the travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble with dropping the body is her massive overhangs vs angle of attack. 2 hours ago, Badcrumble said: Narrow the axles Absolutely not, it’s a miracle she doesn’t fall over more as it is! 😂 2 hours ago, Badcrumble said: Bigger tyres unless you need all the travel I’ve got some 2.2’s and bigger tyres I could try but she might get a bit more “monster” than I’d planned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badcrumble Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 My comment was a bit tongue in cheek! However, I believe you can get beef tubes for those axles - would that help to lower the CoG? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PraetoR Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I think it would suit her even better if/when one of the headlamps stops working! That happened on my HPI Venture Chevy C10, as well as losing a wing mirror and I really like it; goes with the "old truck" aesthetic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
