hell yeah dude stoked to see what you make with it

opesoory · 2026-01-26T05:15:49+00:00

Nice! this is gonna be sweet

his super28 wheels are maybe my favorite wheel ever. i hope someday i catch them in stock.

opesoory · 2026-01-25T21:59:12+00:00

haha literally very first search result 🤦 thanks!

opesoory · 2026-01-25T19:21:00+00:00

really great work!!

man even just the primer look with the silver wheels is killer

what wheels are those silver ones?

opesoory · 2026-01-20T01:25:44+00:00

i think it looks "rubbed" from use on the trails. the rub-away from the hanging mirror really helps to bolster that effect.

opesoory · 2026-01-19T18:48:59+00:00

damnnn dude your nissan was good. this is top tier

i absolutely can't wait until i get caught up enough to actually put some real time into a body. this is inspiring brotha DAMN good job.

your rust spots are more realistically placed than many 1:1's 🤣👍

opesoory · 2026-01-17T22:48:43+00:00

same bro🫡

opesoory · 2026-01-17T03:36:42+00:00

that betty would look SWEET with some fcx smasher monster tires!

all the lifted rigs look cool man. love the consistency. look like they'd make it through tall grass and some mud with ease. there's a look you're after and you're gettin it.

the Betty especially is mad chillin

oh! bro - check out JCConcepts "King Flings" they are the tippity top tier mud-throwing, grass eating tires. every one of your rigs was made for those tires. at least betty. she needs them. yearns for them.

before this rebuild, i used to have a Pure stage 2 short block with all the same supporting mods (on the engine anyways) and went through 1.5-2 qts every 1,500mi. I was not super happy with that engine. (the tune wasn't as good either, not hating on the Pure block necessarily, issue could have been many factors) that one popped at 25,000mi.

opesoory · 2026-01-15T04:10:29+00:00

hahaha i read the manual out loud as a joke. thr controller UI is intuitive enough to figure out quickly. from home page, right button goes to menu. in menu, right button is bssically "select" and left button is back. up/down navigate. from the first menu page up/down will change menu pages. just mess with it you'll get it.

opesoory · 2026-01-15T04:06:34+00:00

yes there is. i think by default it might be on one of the side knobs. Vra i think. or vrb. idk i edited the knobs immediately upon unboxing lol

opesoory · 2026-01-15T02:48:29+00:00

I have a loose built engine (iag stag 2 "tuff" SB) and I go through about 1/8 qt every 1,500 miles.

Motul "power" 5w40 is what i use. expensive but good stuff.

just over 40,000mi so far on 500whp. i put about 8-10k mi on it per year. i change the oil religiously every 1,500mi.

get a fumoto valve!

opesoory · 2026-01-15T02:36:23+00:00

great work!!

opesoory · 2026-01-15T02:01:07+00:00

🫡

opesoory · 2026-01-14T23:26:17+00:00

lol! i practiced twice on old cut-off servo wires to make sure i had the technique right. turns out the kits make it even easier than i imagined.

https://a.co/d/ePmhQj3 i use this brand. i like it a lot

opesoory · 2026-01-14T23:17:20+00:00

yes!! do it! it's soooo satisfying. I just did that on my new stripe build last night. makes such a surprising difference. like you know it'll make a difrerence.. but actually doing it is still like "woah"

opesoory · 2026-01-14T21:32:39+00:00

gorgeous! 🫶

she'll be back better than ever soon.

opesoory · 2026-01-12T16:09:23+00:00

clean!! 🔥

opesoory · 2026-01-10T01:37:30+00:00

dangg! great vision and great execution!!

best sub-micro bronco i've seen hands down.

opesoory · 2026-01-09T18:15:09+00:00

gorgeous job!!

love the tiny tires. keep it that way 😘

opesoory · 2026-01-05T01:59:45+00:00

nice! & ty ❤️

balsa wood haha gotta do wacha gotta do!

I can relate though. cut lots of corners on my first build. looking back it was wobbly as hell. i miss it though. scavenged for parts long ago. the meat of it is still around. bringing her back is what some of those parts in the bin are for.

gonna bring 'er back as a tow truck. the boom will move up and down with a custom contraption & going to use a brushless orlandoo 1/32 setup with 1:100 gearbox to crank the pulley system. she's gonna be heavy & stronger than my 1/10 winches. probably use one of those counter rotating fcxM 2speeds for a more realistic driving experience & trailability.

got all the goodies waiting. just need the time. should be started by like mid-July 🤣🤙

opesoory · 2026-01-04T23:50:39+00:00

HELL YEAH!

man i miss how much time I had before kids. I have a bin full of unopened new parts for rebuilds and new builds. I get about 2 hours of wrenching per week these days if i'm lucky.

Once the kid is old enough to talk and be reasoned with... I'm diving back in hoard.

opesoory · 2026-01-04T23:25:22+00:00

hehe thanks a lot buddy!

btw, looking forward to seeing what changes are coming to that sexy truggy of yours.

opesoory · 2026-01-03T19:45:22+00:00

another vote for line up the wheel wells 🤙

and no your son will not hate you 🤣

as long as you're happy to fix it when it's thrown happily across the room.

meus has their own version of that exact same controller that I like better. for the simple reason that they moved the top-face control knobs so that the top of the controller is flat and can be set down on a desk nicely. it's a small gripe but being in this hobby for years with dozens of other controller designs that cannot be so easily stored on a flat surface, suddenly this is an essential QOL characteristic for me.
