Meme405's 2008 FX35 - Brianna

[meme405]

The wheels are going to look awesome man. Also in your picture of the home office/ storage shed (lol) is that a traxxas e maxx truck? Just wondering, I love RC!

Haha it's actually a Revo 3.3. I used to be really into Nitro RC, I had a few traxxas cars, and I also had an HPI savage. Since then I kinda stopped with the hobby, that Revo is actually the last Nitro truck I have.

If I were to start getting back into it I would definitely go the electric route, nitro is just too much when you are only firing the thing up a few times a year, I mean it takes way too long to get it running and tuned again, and it's a messy thing.

The only problem I have with electric, is that it takes away from the WOW factor. A lot of people used to chuckle when I talked about RC's, thinking I was a child or something. But the first time they saw the thing they realized this was a whole 'nother level. Same goes for anyone who just happened to be passing by, I used to tune my truck in a park near my place, and everytime I was out there I would get a crowd of people asking me questions, taking videos, or just watching this loud little truck rip around a grass field.

No problem.

Post Number 4 updated with pictures of the final air setup, as well as some new additions.

Car is going in later this afternoon to have the sounds system complete, and then I will need to decide on what I am going to do about a trunk display. Gonna do some mock-ups for a plexiglass in lay in the false floor that shows off the tanks, compressors and hardlines.

A lot of work left before I am ready for spring, but slowly things are happening...

Ahh a fellow (or atleast previous owner). Yeah I love the FX, especially the first gen. The design is rather timeless.



Yeah, I think I should be able to pull it together. I would prefer the faces as a gunmetal or something similar. But I don't think I am going to re-finish them before this coming spring. So I will rock them as-is this year.

The owner is a from vancouver, and a great guy. He will work with you to develop a kit if you have a car he has not already got a kit for. So contact him and he can hook it up.

great looking car...I've got a 2012 Blue Special Edition but just moved to a state that requires front and rear license plates...my front bumper is as yet unblemished and I'd like it to keep it that way .

I noticed you mentioned a company called RHO that made you a mount...have any more info about them? thanks, mark

Small update. Picked up my wheels:

Little teaser before I get tires, and finish the work next week:

[meme405]

About time you lowered it haha

In all seriousness this is awesome and looks AMAZING slammed. (always thought these would look good "stanced")

It was lowered before as well. Just not this radically...

Gonna see what I can do about getting it sitting pretty. Main thing right now is to get those fenders rolled, and get some wider wheels under it. It seriously needs some lower side skirts on the side as well. Body kit isn't going to happen for awhile though.

This is off....... the fuckn......... hook

Those GTR rims should have stuck around it would look so boss tucking those.

Thanks man.

Stupid to sell the GTR's, but the tires were too tall, and they were basically brand new (seriously they had like 5000km on them).

I'm actually going to do my best to source a square set of 9.5" GTR's to run as my winter setup next year, probably stretch a set of blizzaks on em.

Do you know what wheels you choose next?

Looking forward.

Thanks. See below.

Looks great. Glad to see a build thread after I saw photos of your FX initially. Wondering what the wheel setup is going to be myself...Vossens?

Thanks for the compliment. Sorry to say though, but unless Vossen gives me a free set of wheels, you won't be seeing their wheels on my car.

I looked at a lot of wheels; AG, Incurve, Brixton, AIM, HRE, DPE, iForged, VIP Modular, the list goes on.

I must have done a hundred rough PS's, and looked at countless wheels and pictures, and the end result was utter indecisiveness.

Nonetheless I have a set of HRE's in bound. They likely will not be in the car until end of February, but in the meantime I am going to be rolling my fenders, and hunting for a BBK. I also have a load of audio gear that will be installed.

So I still have a lot more left to do before spring.
