as you see.. it's an xmods f-150 body... its been beat up... beat up real bad...
and i added a towing hitch
some scratches
the rear "roll cage" will go there
as u see.. i had lights
aaaaaand.. now it's gone.. along with the rear mounts
this is how i had mounted the hummer(bad idea from the start.. lol)
with the mount off.. this is how it was lengthened
the wheelbase difference
and the rear tower hits the bed, but with the roll cage in place, it should protect it once i make a hole for it to go through(or maybe it might not even go through... maybe a different mounting method will be used
that's about it for now... more to come
costs so far
Micro-T RTR - $80
Bearings - $10
3 Racing alloy tranny case with bearings for the spur gear shaft $16
X-Truck Shock Set(the micro-t is using x-truck shocks) $15
F-150 body w/ body kit - $15
Tow Hitch Mod - $1 or use of spares(i used spares that were laying around)
total cost so far: $137 |

turned it back into a regular T to drive around
and the reason i say 3 weeks is cause im going to palm springs after this week.. and im staying there for a week.. cutting it 1 week short for me, but ill manage
and just for a comparison.. thats how long the body is compared to a stock t

i h8 e-clips, i do have threaded axles, but im missing a wheel nut, and the axles are too short so if i over tighten it, the wheels dont spin, if i keep it loose, the nut flies off....... yay me...
i used one of the wheel nuts i have as a slipper nut, just for the hell of it lol
Wheels - $8
1 Red Alloy Wheel Nut - $1? seeing as how a full set costs $4? i thought 1 would cost $1
total so far
$146 |

layed out on the truck wheel wells
i removed the rear bed so the rear tower does not hit it and mess up the spacing
a dremel and 10 minutes later, i had that, i forgot to take a pic before i marked it with more sharpie
i had to cut out the sides for the rear arms to go down
all cut out, ready for holes
Xmod Box - $10 (called in radio shack, gave them the xmod item number, they pulled out the SKU's and looked up, the box alone was $10)
Total so far
$156 |
