Nice work, but carbon fiber goes on race cars. :-p lol Nice work man!

eddievedder 07-06-2009 08:48 PM

Looks very good! Leaf springs are going to be sick! X2 on the carbon fiber, it looks good but I think flat black would have been a great choice for the hood. I cant wait to see how you set up the leaf springs.

Creepy Inc. 07-06-2009 09:12 PM

Looken good so far man. Keep the pic's comming. "thumbsup"

rokker32 07-06-2009 09:38 PM

BTF 07-06-2009 10:04 PM

red_zook 07-07-2009 03:01 AM

chino438 07-07-2009 05:49 AM

shall have out in the dirt tomorrow!

andrwplsn 07-08-2009 08:53 AM

sweet body, i like the hood and your 1:1 is sweet too bad you got rid of it. are you going with a different chassis or staying stock??

red_zook 07-09-2009 02:26 AM

well got it out today!

the charger was a Chinese one! so different voltage! so it turned out cheaper to get a new lipo for it than a charger! so new 900mah lipo and so far all is good seem to get plenty of run time out of it!

this thing is FUN to drive! very light and power full! has no issue lifting front wheels in air etc! didn't get any pics out in the dirt but it is fun!

i have mounted the body slightly to high so i can run a semi droop set up at some stage!

anyways some new pics for you all

i have also found this, witch looks to be how i will do my chassis similar to! just have to source some leaf springs and i will make a start on it!

all for now

Nice
 
Cool Blue! Thats a nice looking crawler."thumbsup"

red_zook 07-17-2009 12:00 AM

ok well.. after me winding about the zook being to light, i had a look at it today and said F-it.. i can build a chassis... sorry keeno..

so i went down to caprial and for $6 i ended up with what i needed... (25x10mm flat 1 meter and some other assorted off cuts for the fun of it!)

not much has been done as of yet But the basic design is down (very similar to the one above)

i have also decided to add a fair wack of weight to the little thing.. as the mrc is about as light as a feather in stock form, and i want it to be more scale style...

here is a teaser pic for you all

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j1...c/SDC10160.jpg

i am thinking of trying to make the leafs from spring steel and seeing how we go from there...

stay tuned i should have a fair bit of this done buy end of weekend!

:)
