Many Cheers and Im hoping to post everyday and get this BEE RiG Buzzing in the next week or 2

[Honeyman108]

Today im going to open the axles and get them greased up and mount the servos and also removed the mirrored skid and TGH T-210 EBR edition Trans and move that to my heavier caged Gspeed that I have a thread on here Honey Dipper and also set up the chassis with the monkey skid and bombproof trans and HH motor!!
Trying to get my Diorama game up and finally pulled out a couple things from the diorama bin! So its under construction and I will need some B-MOW help on this diorama experiment see last couple pics and I unfortunately have bunch of degenerates slowly working on the diorama construction site so wish me luck

Very cool project!
I am curious to see what the gold and pink/gold paint combination does...
Are you planning to use the gold as a backing paint for the iridescence? Or are you going to create a gradient between the gold and pink/gold, and then adding a black backing? I think either would be pretty awesome...

Aloha ChilliBreath I was thinking of 2 ways of painting the Creep body, One was iridescent Gold/Pink on the body and back it with White. then windows Gold. Second was to paint the body in Gold and back in White and paint the windows iridescent gold /pink. Now you gave me a third idea so many options and I'll be painting the body next week.
But I also have a Tamiya Sand Scorcher Body and the GSpeed Sliders that fit the VW scorcher body that was originally going on this build in my Bee Brain so I'm also going to post that and another color combo see which one wins! Cheers

Alright B-Mow and any other Knowledgeable Crawlers I hit my first roadblock tonight while mock setting up the skid and transmission!


First of all i'm not sure what the hell i'm doing ;( So not sure I have the Monkey skid in the right place but the it looks right and the shafts are perfectly horizontal and the trans looks a little low and may need spacers?

Q & A:
-Do I need to raise the trans with some spacers 4mm like the website says?
-Using the monkey skid do I need to put extra spacers on the chassis spacers to even out the chassis or is it normal for it to curve inward as the skid is a little wider?
-I need to get on YouTube and see if there is a video on how to customize this trans as far as using the forward forward option?

I did forget to order a couple Kimbrough 56t spurs that is required for this trans so just pulled the trigger on that.

Thanks in advance for any info is very helpful always here on RC Crawler

Hey bee, lookin good buddy. I dont see any issue with the trans from the pics, unless your rodends are goina hit the bottom of the case, or the motor isnt pressed against the skid. Lower u can get the weight, the better.

The chassis will pinch a lil at the ends, all mine do n cause no issue. You can get longer spacers that are the same width as the skid, if u prefer an evenly wide chassis.

Aloha Indy its been a minute but hope you and the family are doing great?

And thanks for the Info, I'll get on the links and axles today and see what trouble I run into!

Stay in touch & Cheers

There's only one logical solution here...
You'll need some extra bodies for all your different paint schemes
