Default Mile High CG

Rideing high because the CG is a mile high
Started a scale crawler this week to bring to a gtg. The people that aren't going to it want a pic of the truck.
Here it is "Mile High".
Tlt axles
Pede tranny locked
55 turn
Simple build nothing fancy.

Looks cool! You going to waterproof it?

Bring it to the comp and we'll do a scale class. I've got a steel chassis, hard bodied scaler going together right now on the bench(not the Willy's). It's going to be a brick!

Thanks guys
Yep 2 days might be a record for me. Considering it was all after work.
Get it right I'm a hick not a red neck.

Sunday is crawl day.

It will be waterproof. That's why the motor is so high so I can swim it to the other side of the lake. Steel chassis are cool.

I like it, I was going to go with the same design if I was going for a scale / capable build up. Who knows I might still.

You going to run that LRP? I got one a week ago and it works great. I have it set up reversed so the delay is in forward. For $40 it's a great deal.

I think this is my coolest truck yet. It just won't crawl very well.

The lrp is great, I've been using one in my clod. I like that esc better than my super rooster

Wow, I can't believe you haven't killed it running dual motors! Well with that said I think it's safe to order a couple for the crawlers I am building for the kids.

Two motor, two servo's all under water with no problems. I'm not talking about a splash of water all the way under several times. It handles everything so far.

I'm looking into getting one myself. Dual 55 turn motors would be the same as running one 27 turn. The low BEC output has got me wondering though.

Buy two then. They are really small and cheap.

BMSMA has it for painting right now. It's a huge body covers almost all the tread on the tires.

Test drove it today!
It rolls over and plays dead a lot.
It worked good though. Nothing even broke. I still need to lock the front diff and glue the tires.
A couple quick pics while driveing it.
