Im very happy with how the truck handles and look forward to getting it to the track this summer to try some twisties. Now for the hard part the 4hr ride back home lol

[Nitrohog]

She looks and sounds awesome! I love the viper wheels and bet it handles like its on rails with the TVS. Is that a Trex 700 in the background? What do you fly?

[biggblu601]

looks bad ass...how are those rotors? im gonna be doing brakes soon and thinkin of upgrading my rotors...

That's my friend Aaron he flies a 700N, 550 (the one in the pic) and a furry 55. Im more into the airplanes and am currently flying a 35% Carden Aircraft Extra 330S. Do you fly?

Thanks for the compliments guys Im really loving the truck lol. The rotors are nice a little noisy at first but it should quiet down with use. I would deffinately recomend the pads they were a noticeable upgrade.

[Jontoad]

besides putting an SRT badge on a non SRT vehicle its pretty sweet. I'd love to have that wheel setup for mine some day.

Yeah, at least I used to. I haven't picked p a transmitter in about a year and a half but I still have my Hirobo ShuttleZ, Trex 450SE V2, and a few Eflite helis. As far as planes go I have a 1/3 scale Laser 200, P38, super sportster 60 with a 1.08, a few 3d planes etc. lol. I really want to get back into the hobby this summer if time and money cooperates. I actually like flying R/C more than full scale most of the time.

[Branx5.9]

Looks great! I'm anxious to see how a hotchkis truck handles!

[huskerrt79]

Those rims look sick!

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I know there are few that aren't fans of the SRT badge lol but it's there because it's part of the build as I'm turning it into a SRT vehicle.

Oh and the 4hr drive home sucked lol I already have a sore back and the ride didn't help lol. I had a few extra parts that I brought back with me from my dads shop and had 1/2" clearance on the bump stops. NOT FUN on Michigan roads or over big bumps. Anyways the handling is great but I'm going to go ice my back before I head to bed lol

i think the SRT badge is very fitting for the build.the SRT nameplate in my opinion should of been exclusive to 2-door hotrods !

[got_torque]

It looks good, looks like the front is a little high though.

[03DakStampede]

It looks good, looks like the front is a little high though.

Yeah it does look that way but its actually level. Its a visual thing because of the tire diameter differences

[99DakotaRTCC]

Could you post a pic looking down the side of the truck from behind
Just to see how far the read wheel sticks out front the fender.
Thanks!

[03DakStampede]

Yep here's is one from behind

[99DakotaRTCC]

Ya its the same as when i had it on
I think ill have to stick to the 4-link
Truck looks good though man!

[03DakStampede]

Thanks. it's one of those things you dont notice unless you really look for it. Lol one of the advantages of having a black truck lol

[WeezyRT]

I tried to post earlier but it didnt post, I dont feel like retyping it all.. haha

Truck looks good.

Lol thanks dude

[Jontoad]

the more i look at your pics the more i don't like my R/T 20's.... lol. i love that 03 viper wheel style... i have 2 sets of the replicas for my Charger....

[03DakStampede]

Thanks! I like the replicas on the charger they look good. The only thing is on the Dakota if you dot already have it a drop is a must.

[gt77ice]

I like the look, but am curious about the amount you're rear tire is sticking out past the fender flares. What size rear tire is that? And white size spacer/adapter did you use?

[03DakStampede]

Thanks! The rear only sticks out approx a half inch or less. Ill make a measurement when I get home tonight. As for the tire size its a 345/30R19 Michellin Pilot Sport ZP.

You mean in diameter right? Lol When it's time to replace these tires next spring I may go with the next aspect ratio tire for both front and rear. It will depend on wether or not I can get the bridgestone tires cause there is NO way I'm shelling out 600 a piece for the pirelli rears lol

What are you putting on the front? I'm very curious as to how they handle and ride? Those are the tires I've been thinking of going with on the next round potenza's front and rear both the next aspect ratio.
