F150 Build

[NickRummy]

I'm taking off to take my girlfriends dad to my works shop to look at some machines. I'll check out your build today though!

I went to college for 2 years for CAD technology. They taught us basic 3D. I just love modeling 3d stuff. I started when I was about 20-21 actually modeling RC parts and things like that. So I guess I've been doing 3D work for about 3-4 years.

Well last night and today I finished up the basic body painting and decals, sleeved the links, added a bluebird 630mg servo and swapped the rear springs over to 2.0 rate losi springs. I'm still planning on cutting the bumpers and making my own, making a roof rack, rear bumper, hitch and some other things.

It ran good. I want to lower the stance a bit. It's a little high for my liking. Might run 1.8 losi springs in the rear and 2.0 in the front with spacers if needed.

Here it is

that thing looked good out there i love the tucked wheels next time you come over bring some more nitro with strawberry milk shake scent i got that all over my shoes lol thanks for posting the pics to by the way

[NickRummy]

I'll have another nitro running in a bit. Bought another set of axial 2.2 beadlocks for my Nitro MT

[sloppy]

you guys keep bringing nitro around me and i will have to get another one i really dont want to but peer pressuer can be to much sometimes

[NickRummy]

haha, I just swapped the wheels on the rc18t so its ready for offroad. Taking out that 3S lipo and putting in the 2S lipo so I can actually drive it. Getting ready to take it out now!

man i need to get a smmt done so i can play at work i dont think i could hide much more then that in a lunch box i did fly the heli here a few times though i got all kinds of crawl spaces and tunnels to play in no one would ever know lol you have two of the 3s packs?

[NickRummy]

nah, just one 2S pack and one 3S pack. thinking about picking up a few more from tower though.

The run time on this F150 is CRAZY. I drove it for a good 30 minutes and it dropped the 3S from 12.6 to 11.9v.

[sloppy]

how much are they i might get one two 2s i dont need 3s not a speed junky like you nitro guys lol
i would put one in the blackfoot but i think i need the weight up front on the truck
