Joel's 4wd LT build

would you be able to run if off the same antenna?

 

i got mine from austin.

 

I want a set... Im gonna dig around on the internet and see if I can find some with just the lap part.

 

what i would do is see if you can find anyone selling there old set of harnesses. theyre only good for 2 years (for racing) so people have to get new ones somewhat often. ask yager if he has his old ones still. i remember he had beard seats and harnesses he was trying to sell me when i brought my truck up in January.

 

As of now, no. You wouldn't be able to receive/send the signal very well on the CB frequency. I went with separate radios for CB and VHF and the VHF is a dual band so two frequencies can be received at one time. At any one time, I have 3 channels coming in so it can be a bit confusing.

My setup

 

GAWD DAMN

 

is it worth having both a cb and VHF?

 

I would say yes. VHF is slowly becoming common place on trail runs but there are alot of people still running CB. On my last trail run, Cleghorn, about 4 of the trucks had VHF capabilities, 1 had a race radio, and the other 10 or so had CB's.

The guy with the race radio could only talk a specific frequencies. He could not enter in a custom frequency. So there was actually 3 frequencies being used on the trail. I relayed information to the guy with the race radio and the other VHF guys could talk to each other. Then there was chatter on the CB.

At a minimum there should be a VHF in the front and rear because the range and clarity of VHF is better.

 

okay thanks for letting me know that. maybe ill just keep my cb and have both.

 

That's what I figured, race radios aren't super popular so sometimes having a race radio would get you left out of the communication loop if the 10 guys with you have CBs haha

 

thats the reason why im inbetween getting one and not... hahaha. but since you, austin, and carlos have one.........ill be the lone wolf

 

Just get yourself a HAM license (not hard to get) and you can operate on the race channels and other VHF frequencies.

 

not a bad idea. never realized it was only 35 questions

 

yep, unfortunately you're going to need a race radio!

 

or save that for some 3.0s

 

Sub'd for that dirt design kit!!!

 

3.0s eh? I was thinking the same thing, 5 tubes yay! yayeeee!

 

pointless with a leaf truck. just sayin. thats one reason why i dont want them haha.


edit: but if you go to links... then were gonna fight.

 

No links for a while annnnd 3.0s ain't cheap hahah 2.5 3 tube bypasses

 

there we go


if you go new, get the race series.
