Happy one month birthday mods to my AMP.

[MADitto]

So my AMP is one month today.
This is what I did today.
- Extreme racing G-10 chassis extension.
-fitted the torment front and rear bumpers, this needed some modifications.
-fitted the torment shock towers and body mounts.

The car is handling amazing, I'm able to keep the front end down and really cut into the turns.

Body:
looking at the Pro-line, Pre-cut Flo-Tek Fusion or the Desert militia. I am taking the truck in tomorrow to see how they look. I am going to tap some new hole on the original body to rep the AMP!

I just realized the only thing still stock is the chassis, and drive shafts (for now). I will keep the original chassis so I can still say it's an AMP (kind of like NASCAR) like Kevin Harvick dives a Chevy SS, lol.

Damn! LOL

Dang nice list of upgrades! Is that even considered an AMP anymore?

 

[Vivendus]

and the LEDs!

Lol, the LEDs didn't last long.

Details on the front bumper? I have the AMP DB and kinda want something a little a more substantial.

But seriously, that truck is hot!

I'm assuming that you didn't have any trouble getting the Traxxas turnbuckle rod ends clearing the transmission output shaft? When I installed RPM ball cup rod ends clearance was pretty tight.

Actually I originally had clearance issues with the first set of turnbuckles.

The first set had large pivot balls and had no clearance, so I switch them out with the flat end with low-pro pivot carriers.

I picked up the 39mm #3644 and switch the ends next to the transmission output shaft.

check out the link, scroll about half way down and you will see how to fit the bumper.
it was very easy, and well worth it.

You can see there is plenty of clearance now.
