Thought i'd post up some pics of the Rubi for you all. It's a work in progress. Started as the RTR kit and we all know what they look like so, no boring stock pics...lol

First off was painting the rock sliders. I didn't want them to have a perfect paint job so i left it a bit streaky....actually, i was just too lazy to apply the second coat but i like it like it is...LOL

Then I wanted to lift it a bit so i had a buddy make these for me. BG was put it on there by him. (Buzzard & Gator Parts...LOL)

After the lift, i needed bigger tires so the Wraith donated its set of stockers to the cause...

And how it currently sits awaiting more parts...once i decide on where i'm going next with it. I will say that this thing is heavy with that hardtop on...i was very surprised at how much it added to it. Going to be a fun trail rig...

More to follow.... :D

What's angle of the axles now that you have a lift kit?
 
I had to add a spacer for the front to help with that. It's still a touch too much but not so much that it's binding. The rear looks good, it didn't change it much at all. I'll get a few pics of it later today.

Took it out yesterday to run it with Mud and the ESC started acting stupid...time for an upgrade. I just threw an old XL5 in it to get it rolling...lol
 
Added the RC4WD Mini 12 wheel wideners and an antenna to it. Wideners really make it look alot better.

I got to get out with Mud and play a bit yesterday, we had a blast. Here's a few pics of the Rubi...

Needs lights for nighttime crawling... Looks great otherwise.
 
Yea i got the lights for it...just need to get off my bum and get the other Rubicon body ready for them....can't decide on what color to go with though...lol
 
Well......it matches your personality! Haha sorry bro!
 
Flamingo pink??......hmm, flamingo, and Barbie pink camo!
 
Don't think she likes that idea! Lol she turned her nose up and also said it's more your style!! Hahahahaha
 
I think she looks good, even more so with with wheel wideners, fills it out better as a 1:1 would appear.

Oh btw, dont see amy mud present on or around the truck :)
 
You need to send him an autographed picture and a sample of the substance so he knows what to avoid when running his models outdoors....
 
I can't wait for the pink camo shell, NB.
