Project "Ridgecho"

Street sweeper brushes would work. But I dont know how to find em. Used to find em on the street gutter when I was a kid.

ok did some reshearch and i think im ganna do just some shocks so if u have a couple small ones like the ones on our drift cars than yeah i will take some if your cool with me having them??

Yeah bro totally cool ill pm u my new number..

So after i wasnt able to get the look i was going for i decieded to take the goodies off and let my kids have the ridgecrest and i did some wheeling and dealing and traded my t-maxx for a hancho that was a little beat up but after some work and some parts replaced this is what i came up with! Im loving the new scale look i have hope you guyd do also!! theres also a pic of three of the four crawlers i have the other 2 are my kids's the blue and black one is mine!

Dang those axles are wide for a 1.9

You coming out to Stringer Gap on Sunday Richard?

yes i will be out there! and slash thats a ridgecrest thats why the axlas are so wide

I knew they were ar60s just didn't think they were that wide lol

lol yeah and that body doesnt help it also! someone before me painted that body on the outside

If you sand it down a little and spray it with the spray paint bedliner it should stick

well its still silver that was sprayed from the factory under nether and i was kinda hoping to take just the black off just not sure what to use to take the spray paint off without hurting the body im pretty sure its just regular spray paint

I think there's a thread on rccrawler

k cool i will have to check it out

Oh and heres my wifes tamiya cr-01

Looks cool from the side!

Yeah i really liked the way it turned out but i had to ditch the canalever setup it was causing the body to have so much play that it would grab the tires and stop the crawler right in its tracks

I almost ended up with the ridgecho

ahh. what changed ur mind??

Head honcho never got it cause the drive lines were binding or something

yeah it was binding up because i didnt get a chance to grease the axle joints from last time i took it out so i went and put some marine grease and made the shafts do one rotation and ta-da it was working just fine! I tryed telling him thats all it needed but him being a kid he freaked out and said he wanted his old one back!
