Well the @gmade.rc Sawback is taking form now. The @pitbullxrc XOR's look at home here and the body height is just about perfect. The @cnccustomwheels will do just right here. Yes I took that tire/wheel set up off another rc, but for good reason. This one will get used WAY more than the other one. Tomorrow I will start working on the rear of this build. As well as sand, fill, dry repeat the front. Haha #gmade #radiocontrolledeastcoast #pitbulltires #vermontscalerc #hardcoreleafer #USCV_DE3

For #busta13 I decided to throw in a @powershift_rc_technologies servo winch. I put it right up front next to the steering servo. It's a little high, so I will lower it down to clear the hood. Went on fairly easy, and should do just the trick for yanking duties! #USCV_DE3 #shredtheledge #radiocontrolledeastcoast #vermontscalerc #ultimatescalechallenge

There, that already looks 100 times better in my eyes. Lower, straighter, and looking tougher already. I'm loving it so far. Done working on this for now, but have more to do in the coming weeks. #busta13 is on it's way to a solid Division 3 Extreme @ultimate_scale_challenge build. Up next is servo winch mount, transmission rebuild, electronics and some more scale equipment. #ultimatescalechallenge #vermontscalerc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #shredtheledge #USCV_DE3

The front of #busta13 is almost done. I need a different track bar. This one clears the servo horn but bottoms out on the top of the axle. So a second bend would help out with a little clearance. Other than that, flows well, holds the wheels straight, and it works! The XRMOD Axle looks good under there and it will be nice to have all that steering with this truck. #division3extreme #USCV_DE3 #shredtheledge #radiocontrolledeastcoast #vermontscalerc #ultimatescalechallenge

Another angle of the home made CMS and all the hack going on. The screws holding the cms bracket in are beveled and not meant for that brace. The track bar is all facked up. *sigh* I love it though! Gives me something to do and complain about! #vermontscalerc #radiocontrolledeastcoast #USCV_DE3 #division3extreme #shredtheledge

Now on to this rats nest. The home made CMS kit is pretty legit, and I dig the geometry of it all, but these links and shocks throw it all out of whack. So, I'll do my best to get the good links from my XRMOD axle going on here, make a good track bar, and see how that helps. #radiocontrolledeastcoast #vermontscalerc #division3extreme #USCV_DE3
