    I hardly ever get the time to take pics, and when i do, as you will see i take the opportunity to do so...
    I took alot considering i havnt taken ANY with the BL or anything else, so beware, LOTS of pics in your future.

    King of the rock!


    Rock crawlin' anyone???


    Enough nature, eh? Now we shall move to the pool table, lets get naked...

    Note the Hacker B50 with a "Hackered" heat sink... Also note that its not purple, they come as purple, but i stripped it for the raw look... Anyone know of any good polish to make it really shine>?
    Also the cooling fan here is just taped on, just got finished making an alum mounting plate for the fan, just havnt installed it yet...


    nother...


    Pride and joy of the truck, Hacker B50 with a custom "Hackered" heatsink(see below)...
    Please excuse the blurryness, but i started to rush a bit for the last pics and wasnt holding the cam as still as needed...





    next post...(hope i dont get surcharged for posting too many pics...

    Hackered heatsink, you can obviosly tell what i did to it, how it was, it wouldnt fit in the tranny housing...


    Creek shot i forgot in the first post...


    Sporting a Nikko body, just for giggles...


    Well, the stock body sux, not to mention, i have another F-150 body that i am going to paint later tonight, so i got creative with the dremel and some shoe goo on the stock body, this is what happend...pics say a thousand words...



    Hacker B50 PATH O' DESTRUCTION...

    Remember that stock body?
    Yeah, like that lasted long


    Custom 1/8th inch lexan rear skid, doubled as a wheelie bar... yeah, right...

    Woulda' lasted longer, but i only had it held with two screws, torqed it, cracked it, bye bye...

    Three Diff gears, 1 plastic idler(i didnt have any spare alums, so i threw it in, i knew it wouldnt last) One MIP CVD STEEL drive cup, yeah, lotsa torque... twisted the stub axle right out of the drive shaft, and that was my CVD backup when that drivecup cracked... hmmmph!
    Also add to the list, stuff it destroyed that i threw away...
    2 more main diff gears!(for a total of 5 within a month if you cant add)
    1 set of differential internal gears
    2 more plastic universals
    3 castor blocks
    1 set of body posts(did wheelie at half throttle(bout 30) flipped over, no body, skidded bout 35 feet, you think there was anything left of the body posts? nuh uh...
    1 full tranny casing, did wheelies with no protection, grinded the housing down, wore a hole right through it

    I think thats about it, thats in about 1-1 1/2 months, lol... fun


    tried to make a very temporary skid plate,


    Pic says it all, those are indeed light switch covers, they held up to the wheelies, but as soon as a took it off a jump, SHATTER... o well, i got another custom lexan one on now, with 4 screws holding it... as soon as this one goes then ill need a swamibar, but i thought i might as well use the lexan ive got first...

    Finally, setup

    New F-150 body was here when i got home from vacation, gunna paint it, black, blue metal flake, and white, simple "10 minute" tape, cut, n' spray job...(in pics, old F-150 body, actually no longer belongs to me, but to my friend with a pede)

    RPM carriers with Bocca 5x11 bearings

    RPM bumper

    RPM Black Gear Cover, not pictured in any pics

    Hitec 945 Steering servo

    Masher 2ks

    CVDs

    Alum idler

    Alum Rear Shocks, Alum shock caps up front

    Kontronik Controller

    Hacker B50 motor usually geared 15/87, but i move it up for higher cell counts

    Other small insignificant misc. stuff...
    (could have forgot things, im very tired)

    Comming soon:

    Wide Pede

    When the Mashers wear out, IMEX pullers

    GPM Alum Castor blocks(when the plastics break again)



    I actaully do have more pics, but i dont think its worth it to post them, i have WAY MORE than enough...
    Questions or comments? fire away

    Peace,
    Jordan

    Buy an rpm front t-maxx skidplate and bolt it to the rear of yer pede using the two rear 4mm screws (drill the holes all the way through the trans case and use 3/4" long 8-32 screws), two rear 3mm screws (get longer ones), and then drill and countersink two holes at very rear corners (under the motor) and attach with two short 4-40 screws and steel (non-locking for motor clearance) nuts with lock-tight...yer done excellent very durable rear skid!

    Thanks guys...

    Yes, its the F-150

    Confirmed 12 cells 15/87 gearing 57mph, garmin GPS reading...
    Easily room to gear up

    Unconfirmed, 12 cells, 20/87 gearing, using the 100 ft test
    65mph but there is alot of room for error with that test, specially when your going that fast.

    Lets just say it has more than enough power.

    Peace,

    I got a tip for ya to keep those wheelie bars on. I had screws straight into the plastic but they rip out eventually. Just bolt it down. Sounds simple (cuz it is) and it wont come out easily. Nice truck..
