Thanks! It's an UMG10 interior. I had to take a hair off the width but
overall worked out good.

More done, almost complete. Made some small extensions so I could seal the
RX box and not have to open it to work on stuff.



CC Mamba X finally came. Installed it on the skid on a raised platform. Just
high enough for the link ends to clear. Wired up and buttoned up.



Picked up a KYX steel stinger and a Powerhobby winch. Made a controller from
an old servo. Waterproofed it and put it on ch3. Works great so far.



How she's sitting as of now. Starting raining, again, so I'll have to do some
testing and tuning sometime this week.

Nice progress! I like how you have the esc centered up. Rig is looking like it’s ready to eat up some rocks.

First test run. Short run, started to rain again and don't wanna get the
camera wet. Gonna have to trim off some of the front bumper and a
smidge off the front of the front fenders. Def need better tire foams. The
stock ones are way too soft. Other than some small tuning it did great.
Nice controlled start up and slow crawling speed. And nice wheel speed
to boot. Very pleased thus far

Here's my crappy vid... Robotboy's Portaled Nukiser Game Changer 4.2

[Robotboy]

I'll have to get some new pics, changed a couple things after some runs.
Added some slightly stiffer springs and I had to trim down a little of the
front fenders and bumper. Just enough to clear at full flex. I changed the
tires to PL 120mm G8 Hyrax. I've been hearing great things about them
plus I want to put the Landmines on a 1.9 Comp rig I'm building.
Anyhoo, here's the updated specs. Gonna try to get more pics and maybe
vid over the weekend.

Xtra Speed Aluminum AR44 housings, China portals, DSM bearings
and STRC shock/link mounts.

Nice one! seems to get around pretty well and you definitely didn’t have any clearance issues on that jagged rock pile. Truck is looking real good. Nice work.

Thanks man! Can't wait to get it out on some real terrain, it seems like
it'll go anywhere I want it to. It was a good choice for chassis.

From start to finish, how much do you have in this rig? Curious to see if its within my budget to be comp ready at $800.

It's got to be real close to your number. Between the chassis kit and putting
together those axles it was probably close to $500. But you could do axles a lot cheaper. I cheaped out on other things like servo, shocks, driveshafts, etc. So
at 800 I'm sure you could put together a very capable rig.
