Default Back yard basher

Well here is how the f-150 started its life, 4x4, cll, neon lights & a off road upgrade (all bought brand new) almost two years ago.







Then got a small body lift.


Then got some dually wheels & tires.


Then got some iroks and a 6 cell.




Them it got a wide axel upgrade and some ashomia super swampers.








As of today it has tsl boggers with custom rims & no longer has a 6 cell, has full bearings, stage one motor with neo mags. I am waiting for a set of 2s2p liths too show up & I plan on putting a set of losi crawler (1/24) wheels & tires, since they are softer & better than these. All orange parts on chassis are painted satin black.

As you can see the body has taken a beating.













More updates too come as the liths arrive & I start fixing the body.

Also I just ordered a set of aluminum nylon locking nuts, losi 1/24 crawler rims & tires & four gen. 1 bearings for the rims.

Thanks


Here is a vid of the tires in action.

Here is a little vid I made, sorry its so crappy didn't have a camera guy. lol

But it does go faster than in the vid but since the motor gets hot the pinion starts to slip so I lose speed.



EDIT: At 1:34 I am riding on three wheels. lol

Thanks, didn't know fast tim had a brother. lol

Update on this truck, my gpm motor pinion showed up so now more slipping of the motor, but after dropping ina 37t pn racing armature it screams now, much faster & has more torque. Unfortuanitly I burned one of my brush's out so I need to order a new set since these are worn out.

Well its been awhile & I had the day off today so I made a video of some wheelies in my living room. The motor is completely redone, new 104 motor caps, lubed bearing in motor can, polished the armature, brand new carbon brush's and a special resitor that I found on a custom motor I picked up in a parts lot, seems to have help make the motor run better. Cleaned & lubed all of the bearings & gears.

It was pulling wheelies for most of it, but the tires were starting to get some dust on them so they weren't hooking up well. Will try to get some outside runs later.
