So have you ever looked to see what spare parts you have? Last Friday I was repairing a friend's Talion and I noticed I have a ton of spare parts. I usually pick up spare parts off of fleabay when I find them cheap. I started seeing what I actually had and I noticed I was a front and rear diff short of another trunk! LOL! So I couldn't resist. I ordered a couple off diffs and put a SWB Kraton together. I really wish Arrma would make kits. It was so much fun assembling the truck from scratch.
So here is what i ended up diong. I had a set of Fast Eddy bearing and Mugen shims that were planned for another Kraton that I decided to go ahead a put in this truck. I used 50k/100k/20k for my diffs. I made a tower to Tower brace from an old Jeep soft top frame. Lol. I used a Thunder Tiger wheelie bar with a broken V1 wing mount to mount it. HA! I am currently looking for some cones to attach to the wheelie bar arms to simulate exhaust pipes. The body needed support so I stack 2 Kraton towers together to support it. This is temporary until I can figure something better out. I used some backflips for shoes. And rounded off the whole look with a Senton front bumper. I will probably look for some round off road LED lights to mount to the front bumper.
I got a chance to run it today and it worked flawlessly. I'm running it with a 12T pinion and 2 SMC 7200 90c batteries. I'm loving it!
