okay so the topkick idea went bye-bye , now i am going tuber and 2.2 . so i started searching for a tube chassis that caught my attention , well i found it by a local guy chassis is called the pot belly . i still need to get a few things so i can get it up to roller status and then running status . now on to the two pics i have so far

okay we now have a roller . thanks to dinky r/c for the dinky links . i ended up using an scx-10 skid/tranny mount so i could have double triangulation on my links . next project is steering servo mount , radio box mounting , and interior work . here are the roller pics .

Die-Laughing · 08-31-2011, 04:48 PM

Dayum! I like that stinger.

viper6171 · 08-31-2011, 10:11 PM

thanks , it is a little overkill

viper6171 · 09-09-2011, 12:16 AM

okay time for some updates on the project , finished the roller now to work on electronics mounting and interior . here are some pics after working on it today .

viper6171 · 10-20-2011, 10:28 PM

okay so it's been a little bit since the last update , and i haven't had time to work on it much . the more i looked at it the more i wasn't feeling the whole ford super duty body , so thanks to dinky r/c i now have some new body panels.
i now have a new dinky r/c wraith hood , and a soon to be one of roof panel . the old side panels from the ford body will be reused for now ( that may change ) . i am currently trying to decide what color(s) to paint it , thinking electric green maybe but not sure also thought about white . i made new wheel well panels for the front , as well as made a battery hatch that hinges up to access the battery pack . also i made a rear panel that will eventually house taillights , the new roof panel will house lights as well . okay well on to the pics

Lovin the "country boy customs" chassis dude! Some reason that thing really worked good. Now your takin PotBelly to a whole new level. I built that chassis from 8 at night to 6 am in the morning while BS'n with Mocrawlin. I need to come up and run with you all!

schiesz · 11-25-2011, 11:09 PM

Lookin' good viper, you have paint on those panels yet? I really need to get out with you guys soon if the weather holds out for us.

it will live again .................................................. .....................

viper6171 · 04-02-2013, 11:17 PM

okay so i finally got in the parts i wanted and now nightbreed is getting a rebuild . the tranny is now sporting all steel gears inside and a steel spur gear as well , new junfac driveshafts , and a new motor . i decided to change the looks a little bit ( i like the looks of my zombee humvee so i went with the same paint colors ) . i built new lower links out of 8-32 all-thread and steel brake line , still have to make the uppers and build the shocks .
okay so on to the pics .

Mighty1 · 04-03-2013, 10:01 PM

Wow its going to look good. That chassis just worked good....... The stinger is overkill now that Country Boy Customs(me) is not building anymore...That used to be my funny trademark,lol, kinda a inside joke that just stuck. So I put it on all of them but a few.....
Hope to see ya soon man!

viper6171 · 04-03-2013, 10:15 PM

thanks bud , the overkill stinger has saved me a couple times on drop-offs . yeah maybe seeing you twice here fairly soon

Mighty1 · 04-04-2013, 02:06 PM

Inside joke on the stinger is"At a comp one time I went to tip over and it saved me. Run2jeepin made a "not so proper comment about wood" I said ya that's why I don't roll outta bed either!!!

viper6171 · 04-04-2013, 11:40 PM

okay i got a little bit more done on it today , finally got the shocks setup and got the four-link done front and back . the new driver and co-pilot showed up to help out .

viper6171 · 04-17-2013, 12:12 AM

okay so i have everything wrapped up ( for the most part) and i still have to finish my 1.9 scaler the zombee as well .

viper6171 · 04-18-2013, 11:39 PM
