[Desert Rc]

Well I picked up this Bute and I recieved it yesterday. I am pretty happy to take a second crack at the Mog thing.



Tamiya Mog Body
Solid rod cage and boat sides
Tube work by Falon and rear bed by buster22
Novak crawler esc
Terra motor 35t
Robinson geared up tranny
Junfac shafts
Savox 1231 with beefy axial metal arm
Bulldog winch wireless
Some cool scale items also

I will update as changes are made.

I love the Mogs!
Was that Neil's?

Mog's rule....

Looks like you have a nice one

Madmatt11 was the individual I bought it from. I don't know all the history, but as notes in the thread those are the individuals that Matt said had the hand in the building aspect. Wanted to def give credit. Seems stout as can be.

Okay well I tested the rig out in the living room....HARDCORE! But I will say this is one very very smooth rig. It really glides along and is very quite. I love the savox servo, quite smooth and strong. Sometimes I hate listening to high power 7995tg hitecs just beeping away at you.

This was the first experience with the Terra 1.9. Man they are nice and the foams that everyone complain about aren't that soft to me. Granted I haven't been in the rocks yet to experience sidehill or sidewall rollover but they seem like sweet tires. Climbs the baby slide like no other. My scout struggles on that slick slide maybe just new and sticky we will see.

Also it felt like a pretty heavy little mog so I threw up on the wife's food scale....oh if she only knew.



Here is a shot of the scale goods out back. I love love love the beefcake propane tank. Good stuff.

Cool looking rig but I'm sure with the work you do it's going to turn out amazing!

Man I'm tempted but I also love a good beater look runner like my Scout. Love that rig. I have almost pulled the trigger on a new body bc this one is far from perfect...but when I start with a new body....well then I start a rig that is always another work in progress. I need to practice driving more! My passion is hanging out at home with my little fam and building though.

Hey bro I really appreciate. It's funny, every single night you work on a rig you learn something new. Like tonight I learned that if leave Goop on a clear windshield that's $25 to dry so you can just peel it off...it leaves a nice hazed etched in cloudy spot. Yup never going to do that again. Going to just cut my own this next time...lol.

Not this build my clod. I was pissed....but you know what they say... Better to be pissed off then pissed on.

I built that bed mounted propane tank for buster22 for it when he had it
