I will take it out wheeling tomorow and get some action pics.Specs Quark pro car 33 esc park 400 brushless motor. 645 mg servo Locked tlt axles with pede shafts and metal ends. Locked pede tranny. revo and stock tlt links. stock tlo1 shocks stock tlt sideplates hacked up for servo mount and upper link mount. hpi wheels with G hawg tires IB 1400 7 cell pack syco fab works hack scale chassis. |

Very nice for leftovers, looks like my way of using mags for a bench as to not dirty anything and get on the #### list with the wife. Been there, dont want to do it again.

Guys I hooked up with syco today at Green River and I have to say that is one impressive truck. My Mule had a hard time keeping up with it(ok I could not keep up with it maybe rookie driver) Great job on the truck and thanks for the help on the Mule Last edited by RC Crawler Boyz; 12-23-2006 at 06:47 PM. |

JP, if that is how you build a truck out of spare parts, I would be scared to compete against you with store bought parts. Impressive to say the least, I friggin love it! keep up the good work my fine man.

The only part that I swiped off something else were the brushless and esc off my comp tlt I actualy was cleaning out the loft in the shop and found the tlt kit new in box I had got in a trade from Heavy a couple months ago and knew that I had to build a scaler.The body has been on so many diffrent trucks is pitiful and the tires and wheels I have had for well over a year thrown up top CAUSE THEY SUCKED THEN JUST LIKE THEY DO NOW the tranny is peiced togather from 3 other trannys that I had bought when I got good deals on them just like the 645 mg its the gears from a smoked 645 then the motor and board were from one that had stripped gears and a busted case.The chassis is made from left over L channel the revo links and ends wer bought cause all i had were plastic ends and the cheapy t maxx links that I have broke a metric ton of.I still have some cleaning to do so I hope I can find that 2110 VW motor I have stashed somewhere my chop top bug needs it in a bad way.Dear mexican who learned to swim I havent siped them cause my fat arse dont want black Boogers for 2 months like the last time I did it. |

Thats what I like. Something built from what ever is laying around that ends up working better then some high dollar rigs and looks just as good.

BTW my first car was a 53 convertible with a 2110 superflo heads rollers, dual 52's geneberg 1st through 4th with a fifth gear conversion............about 5 years later it became a 1835 twin blow through F.I. drag Manx!(9.89 back in 95)i thought air-cooled was cool until i got into watercooled.......i had an 83 GTI that went 11.02 at 138 on 13" slicks back in 96, on a stock 16v block lots of boost(22 lbs.) and straight c16 fuel. needless to say the axles didn't hold up all that well, i later retro'd 510 rear axles, then the tranny blew up! but yeah it was funny when some monkey in a GSR tried to race me on the freeway and i pulled past him in fifth smoking the tires for about a hundred yards! | |
