Mods;
Tummy tuck (gives more center clearance)
Inboarded front and rear shocks
Extended front and rear (length)
Painted arms (used to be blue, now black)
Painted body and rims
Cut treads
Soon-10 cell pack (I have to make it first lol I have the batteries)
Perty fun little thing for $50. You could do all of this for the $50 for the truck and about $10 in paint and then you just need a dremel and some scrap metal.

Thats awesome! Love the enhanced articulation!
Do you have to put on shock limiters now to keep the shafts from coming out?
How hard was it to do the tummy tuck mod?
How did you extend the lenth of the chassis?

So many questions lol....
No limiters for me, I didn't cut the tabs for the blue arms off (yet). I left them on and they will be until I get my hands on some savage shocks.
It wasn't too hard to do the tummy tuck, you just have to make sure that you don't cut it too high up like I did or you have to cut out some of the interior of the body to make the battery fit. And also you have to be able to cut sheet metal....
To extend the chassis, you have to unscrew the blue arms where they attach to the pivot with 3 screws per side, and then you will notice on the arms that there is a sort of webbing thing. You have to cut that off. All you have to do is take a razor and slice it off so that the arm is flush... kinda hard to explain... But then you just take the arm, and move the axle away a bit so that only 2 of the 3 holes line up and then rescrew it...If you look at your truck I think you'll get it. Takes about 5 minutes per corner, or 20 minutes total. You gain mabye 1/2-3/4 length...

Once I removed the skid plates and cleaned the rear belt, It would climb curbs just fine. Mine is still stock.
My Crawler - Ponch - 06-30-2006
Oh yeah, that's what else I did- remove the skids.
