Default Harley's LS Hero Rock Bouncer

Like many others, I get sucked in watching these big piles of tube try and climb a hill with the finesse of a sledgehammer. Seems like something right up my alley. After hours of watching these videos I found a rig that I felt I wanted to loosely model my project after. Trenton Park's LS Hero.

So now my next project begins, or I guess it technically began several months ago when I traded a bunch of berg comp rig parts to my buddy Colby for him to finish up a building a chassis for me. The chassis is scheduled to arrive in just minutes and I'm looking forward to start mocking things up.

When you wear out that crawlmaster, a big block outrunner would look pretty good in it

I wanted to go brushed for simplicity and ESC packaging. Unless you know of a new little brushless ESC I could run...

The stock tires are stiff but I still liked them. The R35 versions are very nice though. Having a hard time not running swampers but I really like these BFG'S.

The R35's are awesome, one of my favorite scale 2.2 tires. For RTR tires the S40 standard compound is pretty dang impressive, I think you found a perfect home for them.

Yup, exactly the same way I felt. I was impressed with them even in the harder compound on the PSC Wraith. I think the lack of traction over the R35 versions will work well in this rig for pictures and video.

I didn't think that was really any smaller. The Tekin RSpro is an option but I would really love to have this truck be simple with going back to some brushed power.

Worked on it all night. Shot some video and just came upstairs. Going to edit some of it together and get it posted up tonight.

Working on mock up and such tonight, I threw it on top of the PSC Wraith. I'll be sticking with this same wheelbase I suppose.

Nice to see you turning to the dark side Josh.

KOH, SRRS, Redneck offroad...it's all good. It's hard not to appreciate a southern buggy. Nice work guys. Can't wait to see it pulled together.
