dunno why but seeing things driving about and doing stuff is always better then watching things sitting still...

Ebailey: Thanks! I'm not sure..yet.. I don't really want to say until I get it up for sale...which most likely will be a couple months if Rcdriver wants to do an article on it. I'll post in my build threads the information when I sell it before I put it up in the for sale thread though.

Tizao: The big dirt pit is a huge bmx track..at the same park is a r/c track , a skate park and some big bmx street jumps...its pretty much a bashers dream..and its only 15 minutes from my house haha. I wish I could sell it for only $100 unfortunately I have another project which is demanding money.

Firefrenzy: Yeaaa I agree videos to seem to always be better than pictures...

d3: Thanks!


When I was taking some shoots for the video I stopped by the LHS and they has a 2wd stampede and a e-revo on display so I decided to take some comparison pictures for you guys to show you the actual size of this thing since some people are confused.. its just a tad bigger than the Stampede 2wd/4x4 but quiet bit smaller than the Revo. As you can see the Zero is BEEF compared to the stampede.

Send it to RC Car action, I'm sure they would do an article about it, especially considering it's a mix of revo and savage. Then ask if they can put it up for auction on their site, I'm sure it will get a lot of bids from magazine readers.

Solid: I actually feel like this truck is the perfect size

Muggy: I have been doing a coupld articles and there for Rcdriver so I chose to give them dibs on a article on it if they want. If they aren't interested I would send pictures to RCCA but the only thing is last time I sent them pictures of one of my projects it took them 6 months to reply haha

Rcmoster: TC6 big change in the type of project haha...monster truck to touring car

Looked at the vid again. seriously dude, you NEED to contact traxxas. That thing is sick, seems super tough, standing backflips, still 1/10, what more could you want?

It With the TVPs traxxas could actually make a truck that's chassis won't snap! Plus their revo suspension is pretty solid!

Heck maybe even say I'll sign over the rights too to them (traxxas) in return for a discount on the products or a few loaded models when the production versions come out. Just an idea!


I have pretty much forsaken bashing for racing, but it might be fun for the winter to get a waterproof version out in the snow!

I'm going to send traxxas an email with some pictures and a video and such. The hard part is that they don't give out any contact info for the marketing team or the development team.. so I just have to send the email to customer service and hope that they send it on.

I honestly think this is what they should have made instead of the stampede 4x4. The stampede isn't durable enough for me...and the revo and savage flux are too big.. so I built this.

The problem with the TVP chassis is that Hpi would throw a fit if Traxxas made a truck with a TVP chassis.

That's funny because I'm giving up bashing for racing thats why I'm going to be selling this project soon.

Nice layout. You going to put a wing on it? Might solve the nose diving issue off every little bump and hump.
