Chris Ross Build Underway

[RPG COREY]

Dn that's insane hahah guess it's time for a beefier driveshaft like a 1480 lol

Knowing how much power the truck has and how susceptible the stock aluminum is to dents/ dings / failures we opted to custom make the shaft for this truck. It was a 1410. ( same cross height as a 1480 just a smaller pin). The joint didn't fail. The plunging section ripped apart.

The gentleman who made this for us has been making driveshafts for trophy trucks for decades. When I called him and told him that we ripped the plunging section apart, he said "in a Raptor, wow, she has gotten balls" Laugh out Loud!! .

I got the pleasure of driving Chris's truck today...
I told myself many times. "Oh man. That is a big hole" So i stuck to the golden rule.
When in doubt, throttle out.

It is truly awesome how well this truck works.

Was it one of Wade's(Drivelines Incorporated) shaft's? If so this isn't the 1st I've heard of him having this issue recently. Kinda odd if so considering who he's build parts for in the past/prestent, but knowing his customer service I doubt it will be an issue

AWESOME! I missed this.

How much air in those tires? 32lbs? I aired mine down to 25lbs and they were way smoother and gripped great.

The suspention looks pretty stiff, I would expect more sag, etc. I dont know a whole lot, but just from what I have seen in TT offroad videos for suspention

Nice truck bro!

We had the tires down to 26psi

Can't wait to see more!
