What a cool concept. Tubework looks great. I'm curious what the weight bias is like, pretty rear heavy?

Most weight is actually toward the front since both axles are pushed back and the bumper and stinger are solid rod up front - all the structure in the rear are tubes.

Still waiting for powder so I slapped it together to do a bit of tuning/testing.

Hmmm - after slow rolling for 2 hours one of the front shaft pins already mangled!


Ordered "HD" shaft set and did a temporary fix with some drill rod but man super disappointed in these T-Rex's. As you can see from my video I drive SLOW..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pDgOs5L1X4

*staring at spare Losi axles* ....

Looks like you're not done brazing since you have to make spring perches for the captured springs you're going to install....... ;) Cage looks fantastic! Where's the portals?

Haha. I knew someone would mention captured springs. I initially considered them but chickened out and took a more familiar route

Yeah... been watching the R1 section to see how people are getting along with those axles and part support. May be a better alternative than the Losi ones because Im trying to increase run time.

I have a set and the the problem with those is they are really long.

Not a problem. The one you build for me can be cooler than this one. ;)
