Got the 2 lipo packs mounted in the two side 'fuel tanks'. They're wired parallel - which gave me a runtime well over an hour and a half on a 35t.

Here's another test run (still need to adjust the dig thats why you hear me constantly adjusting trim) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR2fmSb3A00

Should be powdercoated in a week or so then its time for some scale detail and body work

prifral · 08-12-2010, 07:10 PM

Blasted and ready for powder.

Powder coated - olive drab.

The tires look good on there. If you end up not liking them, sell them to me!

Did we decide on a color for the hood? This thing is looking sweet!!

Its looking GREAT,tube work is top notch,it crawls well,and looks cool doing it. AH ,and the new proline swomper tires too,they seem to be a good alround tire ,from what i've read.

Come on,finish it already.

You read my mind - they're yours!

Im thinking primer red on the hood but not sure yet. Still gotta put in light buckets and do the dash area before it gets to paint.

That color would be perfect. I'll get in touch about the tires.

Ooof color matching at night sux - color looks totally different in daylight: painted fuel tanks, wooden storage box and bed anchor points.

Powdered radio tray, floor support member and side panels.

Installed (the brown floor will be blacked out later for contrast)

Haha - just making sure you didnt forget

But it was for a good cause - one lucky son!

Yah the RF drivetrain is very power hungry - brushless is a must.
