| I have been wanting to try something that will go fast yet still crawl well. After seeing the 2010 Dorkstar. I knew what I had to build. Independent Front Suspension with a locked rear axle. So I started to search my second favorite web site Pirate 4x4. I found to of the coolest looking rig's #5 Shannon Campbell and #4454 Dove Cole's Driven by Nazir Adam. Both trucks have the same look. So this will let me try to build something that does not need to be a true scale of one. Just super fun to drive. Spec: Chassis: Built By R2J (Those Colorado boy's are wicked) Front Axle: Traxxas Slash 4x4 Rear Axle: RC4WD Hardcore Axle (Katan) Transmission: Traxxas Summit 2 speed (Hitec 225 servo) Shocks: Traxxas Big Bores Wheels: ??????????? Tires: ?????????????? Steering: Hitec 7955mg ESC/Motor: Tekin RS 21.5 Brushless combo (may go faster will see) Winch: 3 Racing TX / Rx: Futaba 4PK Last edited by sally1800; 08-05-2010 at 11:12 AM. |

| Yes it went together very well. That hood does look cool. It comes with no stickers. I have never bought a body that does not have stickers. Also the lights look like they will fit perfict. I should be able to ship it out to the Rocky's soon. |

The first rule about project mayhem is, you do not ask questions. Should be awesome. Last edited by hitman46mod; 04-13-2010 at 06:50 AM. |

Yes the first rule of Fight Club is don't talk about Fight Club. If you saw that movie you know how well that went. Last edited by sally1800; 04-23-2010 at 02:29 PM. | |

| Thanks man. I like that I can run wide and narrow it up with arms in front and offset in the rear.
