Pics of my latest project w/Chronic lcg tvps
I finally took the time to finish my latest build, started with an ss 4.6, the truck includes:
1) as the title says, Chronic's LCG TVPs (thanx again dude, these are awesome and what a deal)
2) Innovative-rc 5mm v5 LST shock mounting kit
3) LST aftershock shocks
4) Novarossi T528 XSP
5) MIP cvds all around
6) JR XS3 w/hitec 5945 mg for steering and JR racing 590m for brake/throttle
7) Nova diff cups
8) Nova clutch shoes
9) 3 speed tranny
10) Failsafe n hump pack
11) Wide offset (not sure of brand, got them used on thebay) w/proline mashers
I took it out for a spin yesterday and all i can say is WOW, the engine isnt even tuned yet and its faaaaast, the shocks make a huge difference and with the offsets it handles like a dream. Even with the LCGs, 18/47 gearing and an engine thats still running on the rich side it was wanting to wheelie, since i dont have a roll bar yet i had to take it easy. I can easily say its the best setup i've had so far and i've tried a few. The next step will be a rollcage made of 5/8 delrin rods twisted toys style and a center skidplate, just waiting for Chronic to design and test a center skid and i'll be one of the first customers [sm=wink_smile.gif]. Last pic is of my work space.

Anyways, Rock on dude!

Nice truck! I like that setup alot. I know you built it to be a basher, but is there any chance you might try some racing now? Looks like all it would take is a shock adjustment and some race tires...
As for the wife throwing out the toys... she knows I would just go buy more, so she resists the temptation.

Use Scotchbrite to polish the plates. Those were done with WD-40 soaked tan(coarse) Scotchbrite. If a finer finish is desired, you can then LIGHTLY hit them with some finer(red or even green) Scotchbrite, without the WD-40. I haven't mirror polished a set yet, but I did do some with a 3M finishing a deburring wheel and those looked awesome.

Now I feel kinda dumb...LOL.
I'm not worried with how they look, they'll just look like butt the next time the truck gets run anyway

I think you guys are probably the only ones who wil be posting pics right now. I think I have sold 8 sets to RCU members and three of them just ordered. Two others don't post, they just lurk. I could post some pics of mine tonight, but it's only half of a Savage right now.
