| Resurecting a monster ttc
i got my hands on this rig recently and figured id do a little bit of body work, paint it and call it good. ya gotta love usps, as well as this thing was packaged it still wound up having a chunk of the ass-end break off. body-off its running a stout pede trans, maxx shafts, dual ??? oz servos, and a quark roadster esc( 2-6s capable, built in 5a bec very tunable esc) and..the little gem, not sure of the kv on this motor but its a 28mm outrunner and on a 50amp 4s lipo this thing is FAST. this is an older video from the previous ownerso with the damged body, i started doing a litle thinking and i think a full rebuild is in order i started in on the new jk body and quickly cut the hell out of it, short ;little video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbYLu...layer_embedded we all know the direction im going, brute/j8/or jt cab whatever you want to call it thats where im headed.i am a body work NEWB so if anyone has suggestions on a filler/putty that'd be great. anyway a few mockups for ya. future plans are lower body cleaning up chassis and powdercoating, and some tube work, just not sure if i want a truggy or a nice tube flatbed. give me your thoughts Last edited by boosted4lyf; 01-09-2011 at 11:50 PM. |

ya to say the least, the prev. owner warned me that it had a little punch. runs great on 2s so im sure that'll be the way i go. and hell if it doesnt work out as a ttc rig i can always get out the cardboard and breakdance with it Last edited by boosted4lyf; 01-10-2011 at 07:21 PM. | |

Oh and thanks to my bud twisted bender he is handling all the tubework. He does all the 1:1 work so why not have him do this. Thanks man. Next up cut the frame behind the cab and finish it in tubework with a bed that strays a little from the norm ya see on here
