I parted out my comp truck and started to piece the Bronco back together.
I have a brand new body that will have full fenders...flairs and all.
K2-4S chassis
Mamba Max ESC
Holmes Hobbies Scorpion Bruchless
RC4WD R2 tranny
RPP Hobbbies Beadlocks
Mud Slingers
Rs4-MT shocks with 4-links in front
Mini-T shocks with leafs in rear
Full Interior
Full bed
This is with my old cut up body as it stands now.

I was going to do coil springs up front, but took the easy way out and just 4-linked it.

It's got leafs in the rear with my own home-made shackles. Used a half-link from a bike chain.

Hard to see in the pic, but the design lets the rear droop more than a normal set up.

Mini-T shocks seem to be fine on the rear and look pretty scale. I used small springs inside the shocks and no oil. I'm probably going to do some sanding/grinding on them and the mandatory white paint.

This setup gives me a full bed area...no wanna-be 1/4" deep bed here!


Driveshaft angles seem fine. I had to tilt the trans down in the front a little to clear my links, but seems like it will be fine.
