Now that is Beautiful! I would definaely purchase that as a product line. I love how the shocks tuck into the chassis and the shape of the body. Hows she run? Is there any things you think need changing?

Damnit, you finished before I did!

XSRCdesign · 04-05-2009, 05:35 PM

that turned out RIDICULOUS!

Awesome!

War Pig · 04-05-2009, 08:12 PM

Thanks for all the great comments guys.
I got it running at 11:45 last night, and got to run it around the yard in the dark for 10 minutes. Today at it's first scale comp I got 1st place, it performed great, and I'm very happy with it right now. Need a bigger battery, I got about 20 minutes out of the 1000mah 3 cell lipo I was running today. Need to gear it down a little more, it still has a top speed of around 10-12 mph. I also had some gear skipping in the rear axle, in fact, it was barely driveable after 2 courses. As I was carrying it back to the truck at the end of the day I looked down and noticed that yesterday when I was installing my steel lockers, I forgot to put the 4 screws in that clamp the axle housing together. The only thing holding the axle housing together were the straight axle adapters.

Note to builders: not smart to work on your truck for 8 hours the day before a comp.....

Decided to spray paint it for now. I used the stuff you get from auto parts stores. Picked up some GM metallic silver and GM metallic maroon with a jar of touch-up for both. Somewhere down the line when I know I won't need to braze anything else on, or modify link mounts, I may have it powder coated.

Thanks for the top 5

That is one sick looking rig Tim!!

You did a great job and congrats on the 1st place. Guido is now running the same tires and I love those wheels. They fit the build very nicely. Those rear shock mounts still blow me away.

With an interior this will be the 2nd coolest looking Bronco build on my list.

War Pig · 04-06-2009, 06:09 PM

Thanks Chris, Guido is my second favorite as well

Battle of the early Bronco's in Montana this year? You know you're going to find a way to go....

Since i just triple posted, I will post some pics from the comp yesterday.

War Pig · 04-06-2009, 06:10 PM

A couple more.

Thanks to Ryan Gerrish for the awesome pics.

Thanks for the link Ryan. I copied almost all those pics that you posted.

A couple more.

This one is my personal favorite. Put a driver in it and some seats, and it looks like a 1:1.

HITMAN · 04-06-2009, 08:01 PM

Love this build, makes me wanna build a big tire scaler, great pictures.

Mr. Hat · 04-06-2009, 10:20 PM

holy sh%@, that is insane!!!

arwdesigns · 04-07-2009, 12:18 PM

That is an amazing rig you got there...Congrats on the first place too!!!

Cheers

I've been testing this thing for a week now and nothing has broken. I took it down to Spring Park and ran the scale courses from the last comp we had there and came away impressed.

This is what I'm using for the receiver box and faux fuel cell. Anyone know where I can get a tiny FUEL sticker?

Got the tool box/ battery box done. All steel of course. Just need to braze on the mounting tabs tomorrow. I was going to braze the box on but decided to bolt it on so I can paint it red to match the body.

That's all for now, thanks for looking....

You can use the GAS sticker from the stock ax-10 sticker sheet. This thing is amazing!! Any pics from spring park? That place and Gabriel park are my two favorite ORCRC video spots

Tanis · 04-10-2009, 12:00 AM

Thanks for letting me fondle it at the comp a few weeks ago Tim, even better in person

How tiny is tiny?(fuel sticker)
