Project "OMG"
Didn't realize there was a crawler section over here.

First and foremost I'd like to thank Andy(exesivefire) for letting me do a clone build of his "WTF" project. I originally saw his build online and was fortunate enough to see it run at the 09 Scale Nats when I attended as a high school graduation gift. Look, when a rig flat out works like his and is so different from the Hilux bodies Velcro'd on a SCX you just gotta love it.
So, my plans are to build a rig similar to exesivefires but also put my own fab/design into it. I typically build low, lots of droop, big tire rigs. I'm shooting for a Go Fast/KOH style rig A big thanks to: P-lo RCPcrawlers The guys over at Socalrcrc.org Equipment I plan to use: Drive train: Rc4wd R2 trans - Rc4wd Transfer case - Mip Drivelines Axles: Axial axles with the standard CVDS - Straight rears - RCP front clockable carriers - Axial highsteer. Electronics: Airtronics RDS8000(crawler) or the MT-4 - LRP 21.5 crawler motor - LRP crawler ESC - Reedy lipos (still debating mah) Tires/Wheels: Proline TSL swampers - Rims are undecided (will need help and ideas on those) Suspension: Proline power strokes front and rear - Rear will be setup with a cantilever style as well. |
Hopefully this will hold you over for now.

Heading over to RCX, but last night I got some work done on the dash and a little GoPro.

Earlier today I dropped off the chassis and a hand full of others at the sandblasters(no room here to buy my own blast cabinet).
Anyways, here's some more styrene work. http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/v...O/DSC_6216.jpg http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/v...O/DSC_6233.jpg http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/v...O/DSC_6222.jpg http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/v...O/DSC_6242.jpg http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/v...O/DSC_6243.jpg http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/v...O/DSC_6239.jpg |
