🤣 Keep in mind the caster on the front portals pushes the front wheels forward about 5mm. Also portals raise the center of gravity because the axles are 10mm higher off the ground. I'm a fan of straigt axles personally but that comes down to personal preference. Some say straight axles look more scale, but of course there are 1:1 rigs on portals.
That's a good point, I will try to remember. You can always ask me. When it comes to RC4WD bodies, 4.75" will never fit without major hacking. 4.19" will fit Mojave bodies with some rubbing, but they will require trimming with Xtrcab, 4runner, and Chevys. 3.9" tires or smaller will usually fit with no trimming.
These always look so nice, but I can never bring myself to building one because I don't like the idea of having run the small tires. The 4.75s are a huge advantage when offloading. Looks really nice tho, Great work....
Thank you very much! It's true nothing can make up for the performance of a 4.75 but it can be fun to challenge yourself with tiny tires. Be sure to check out my video on my SCX Pro Mojave 4 door, its running 4.75's
@shrinkrc I'm definitely watching that, Thank you. Do you sell the Mohave body or just the parts to make it work ? would you recommend Amain Hobbys or someone ? Again, thank you, and your builds are absolutely amazing 👏🏻 💯
@@ConditionZero76 I only sell body mounts and accessories, no bodies. Unfortunately it seems RC4WD has discontinued the 4 door mojave body which is a serious bummer. Another option is to build a truggy style Mojave 2 door. Amain Hobbies is top notch and I absolutely recommend them for anything RC.
Looks awesome man . Im currently in the process of putting a Power wagon cab on my trx4 . Im having trouble finding info on electronics placement an battery relocation. Id love to get a hardbody for it but the budget is too tight right now
Hi I have a few available! Please contact me at Jesse@shrinkrc.com for info. The reason I don't show them on the site, is I accidentally made them to fit with Vanquish aluminum shock towers only. If you have original plastic shock towers they will need to be modified narrower, to fit with this bed. If I tried to put that in the ad on the site nobody would read it hahaha.
I used mostly the stock setup where it ties into the back bumper, it was a while ago I am trying to rememenber haha. I know I replaced the body clips with screws. Then middle goes down into the shock towers, and I had to zip tie it I think.
@@shrinkrc cool thanks. I just got a phoenix kit and really liked that look. I’m gonna order your body mounts when I have the extra money to get the body
The new flatbed looks great! I'm building an Xtra Cab at the moment as well. Is there any way to mount up scale sliders with your body mounts? I like the body mounts, but I'd like to run sliders to help keep the body looking good (lots of sharp lava rock in my area).
If you are putting it on a Vanquish, you can drill a new set of holes for the stock sliders, just below the factory holes that are in the tabs. Hold up the stock sliders against the bottom of the body, and drill thru the stock sliders with a 3/32 drill bit right into the stock side plates.
@@Yamahatwig Those will be a little bit more tricky. I've seen people make metal sliders with thin tab that slides up in between the body and the moount.
