I've always like the look of the bom. So when one came up for sale on the forums here I grabbed it. It came as a pretty stock roller, so I threw in a Amazon servo, hw 1080, and a crawlmaster 540 (forgot the turn count, and the motor sleeves gone). Also added the scx10ii style aluminum front shock mounts and servo mount, metal servo horn, and some brass knuckles with the add on weights.

Looking at the truck I felt like it needed some prerunner influences (not just some white fenders) and after trying both the rear suspension setups and not being very happy with either (cantilever was so sloppy it never even made it off the workbench before I removed it)

So I made some trailing arms out of 20ga steel and square stock. Used the rear 10ii shock hoops pushed up towards the cab wall and some really long, and really crappy shocks. It flexed better, but was a bit sloppy.






I added a simple front skid plate and ran it for about a year (rear shocks got swapped to some different crappy shocks, and added a piano wire sway bar out back at some point).



Added some leds and a generic injora interior tub along the way.

Really like the way this chassis performs. A few pics from one of my favorite crawl spots.
