4-link front and rear, with 3speed transmision.



More modifications are just around the corner.

Thats a lot of changes. Nice truck!

[liquorboxracing]

That is a lot of changes! I see another lift in the back ground on two of the pics! How many do you have?

[Pete359]

He only got one, the other you see in the background is he's brothers HighLift's.
The red Hilux is Thomas Rino's, and the gray F-350 on the fourth pict. is mine ;)

[Moondoggie]

Wow! That thing has evolved a lot! :D

Looks like a lot of work has gone into it!

[Dakillswitch]

Nice!
good to see more evolving HL:thumb:

[CM_113]

nice lift!

[tovleander]

Mounted a set of TwinForce dampers, but had to swap the springs to some who'a a bit softer. Got good clearing now, but need to get new links, so that i can get longer wheelbase.

Steering servo has been mounted flat between the frames, pictures are coming in the weekend. :) Gear servo will be in the rear of the 3speed.

nice rig
Evolution pics are always cool to check out ;)

[scalenut]

I'll like to know how the steering servo will work out.
has to be better then the stock location.

I bet you could make a mini fortune, making and selling that shell and rack!

I got that Shell & Rack here with me now, what do you bid? :LOL:

Some pics of the mounting of my servo:

It's just building pics, not compleetly mounted yet. Was thinking of mounting a alu plate under the servo too. But will test this after it's screwed.
It's just ordinary servo-mountings, had to cut of 0,40inch to fitt them between the frames.

We'll se how it works.

Some modifications... again

Had to swap out the previous servo mount.
Going to fit a servo mount like this in the rear too, just in case i want 4x4x4.
And it's easier to fit the rear links.

I also lowered the radioplate/bodymount about 5mm to get the body lower. Might try to lower it even more.

The 2.2tires is just for testing. Got RockCrushers from rc4wd.com on now.
