    Official R/C thread

    Well like the title says, everything RC. Radio controlled, not rough country I know there’s a few in here that have them. I’m a sucker for an rc car. I got into it around 9-10 years and didn’t touch one until my first boy was born. He wanted one around 3 years old that would last longer and...

    Cab mount chop tip

    Just a tip for anyone who plans on doing a cmc on their own or having a shop do it. When doing the cab mount chop, clearance of the body mount to install larger tires, you do not need to cut (notch) the pinchweld and bend it inside- towards frame. Simply bend the pinchweld towards the fender...

    Hide your spare chain!

    Super easy. Get a small carabiner, hook in middle of chain where lowest point, twist until slack is gone, hook to wheel hole where stud goes. Fits perfect, keeps chain out of sight.
