My Yellow Summit

[Zepher]

I picked up this summit almost 2 weeks ago for $200. it came with the 27Mhz radio and the low gear doesn't work most of the time, other than that, it functions perfectly.
I did purchase a TQi 4 Channel radio for it, can't stand the pull out antennas of the AM radios.

I also installed the Progressive 2 Rockers, TRX Red pushrods and toelinks, Integy Springs





Oh, also installed the top lights as well,


Here are a couple of pics with the body lowered and the wheels stripped of the chrome.





I plan on possibly installing a brushless setup in the truck and will be ordering a pair of 8A batteries for her.

when you lower the body how much do you lower it?

[Zepher]

I lowered it enough so that it covers most of the battery tray doors, almost an inch I believe.
you do have to use different bumper supports to get the bumpers to line up with the lowered body.
The body posts have to be cut as well since they hit the rockers.

I'll post some pics later this afternoon showing which bumper supports I used.

[JoelRobbo]

okay thanks for that, i had guessed they are needed to be cut so they dont hit

Looks good!

Can you get the batteries out without taking the shell off?

Where did you get the black rims?

[JoelRobbo]

theyre the stock rims with the chrome stripped off, i think there would be a few threads on how to do it if your interested

How did you paint the wheels in black? what is the name of the spray?

look up... chrome has been taken off the rims.. not painted. if you google it you will find out how to do it easily

use "Easy-off oven cleaner" make sure its the yellow can (not blue) it takes way to long. just remove the beads off the rims and make sure rims are clean, spary some of that cleaner on them and what several hours. I applied some more spray every couple of hours.
here are my results.
