|  My Bouncing Baby Wreckluse (NEW VIDEO Click Link)
Been working on this since Christmas 2009. I've been playing with different shocks but still not happy yet. Ive set the spark shocks with light oil and soft springs for a little bounce. I added details like a tamiya wild willy pilot, lights with strobing lights on the bumper, fire extinguisher, balsa fire wall/battery holder, dashboard instruments, and hinges for hood. I installed the winch control wires for a bulldog winch but have yet to mount the winch on the wreckluse. I'm waiting for some LOSI and JUNFAC G-Transitions shocks to arrive so the current setup will change soon. RCP Wreckluse Chassis MIP CVD Drive Shafts Axial Axles with the Heavy Duty lockers Axial linkages Upper rears 70mm Lower rears 74.5mm Upper fronts 60mm Lower fronts 70mm Axial rear steer kit Hitec Servos Tamiya Wild Willy Novak Goat brushless motor/speed controller RC4WD Rok Lox 1.9 tires RC4WD OEM Steel 1.9 wheels 120mm Sparks Shocks      Up in Hancock NY   My wife did the camera work. She did pretty good for her first time and was really thrilled to see the Wreckluse bouncing around. I attached the head with a screw and put a pen spring to allow for some head movement. It was really cool to see the pilot's head bobbing around while the wreckluse was hitting the rocks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sde6vZRwGUA Last edited by Lobonyc; 12-15-2010 at 07:51 PM.

I tried to make it realistic and simple. The screw-spring combination in the head nailed it. | ||

I like it better with the smaller wheel/tire combo.

 I do as well. They achieved the scale look i was going after without sacrificing too much height and performance. On the other hand the 2.2 hammers are awesome in the performance department but they just kill the look. | |

The way I see it the yotas, clods, f-350 pretty much trucks and those 4 door jeeps look good with 1.9, but the way things are now with rockracing, and the rockcrawlers I've been seeing in my 4x4 mags. they have big tires and look good. The timberwolf and wrekluse look better with 2.2's...  | |

I have to show that commercial to the wife. She thinks i'm nuts...every time she passes by my work area and catches me in a quiet gaze, looking from different angles at my trucks. Thanks for the compliment... | |

Hey i finally edited some footage from two outings. This is my wreckluse with 1.9 and 2.2 wheel and tires. The footage from the water was great fun till i lost the setscrew to my rear C-drive. That ended my run for the day. My apologies for resolution but everytime i upload to youtube they compress video and it always turns out looking like this. enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sde6vZRwGUA |
