ANY input, idea or anything is welcome!


Iam from venezuela so i dont speak english very well so be nice :)


thanks for watching

thanks men

those are not tech deck... they are from some toy bikes not skates"thumbsup"

btw i never had a tech deck my toy skates were always unknow brands;-)


thanks for watching

I NEED HELP i want a faster motor than the integy 45t ...??

i want a titan 21t but it is 14.4v and m esc no handle more than 9.6v


what do you recomended me????.. i will make a trail rig so it will be in mud, water and of course rocks and hills


brushless is not an option

the only one ive tried is the integy 35t with stock tlt tranny with 12/83 gearing and most of my driving is in mud and it works awesome!!

one thing to do is remove the bumpers on the axles. they hurt your approach angle when crawling

thanks

well i will order an axiom 35t an some pinions to see what i like "thumbsup"

well the bumper is going to be attached to the frame so it till look more scale

and by the way most of the street legal jeeps doesnt have 90° of approach angle and well i like to use a bumper for the winch and here in venezuela EVERYBODY HAVE TO USE A BUMPER so.... the bumper stays:lol:



thanks for watching

its not very scale to have a winch mounted on the axle...

The titans are 23 turns I think. Also 14.4 is the maxx rating they will be fine up to that point. I have that same body. I found it too little for my liking with 2.2s.

Lol he meant the bumpers on the axles lol.

ok some updates


make a winch from a traxxas 2055 servo
lock the pede tranny, cut it and sand it

make a chassis from alum and metal but its to wide so i have to mod it!

also make an order for some tlt axle spare parts, alum knuckles, decals, rims , tower pro 945, axiom 35t motor ... etc

all my rc stuff are on storage because in less than 15 days because i am moving to another country (brazil)

good to see an update. looking good might i add

Looks good so far! i would consider reinforcing the chassis a bit more. It looks like it would flex like crazy."thumbsup"

those tires are way to big.....1.9's would look hella lot better with that body"thumbsup"

other then that every thing looks good.

thanks cammok

*****************

thanks chaman maybe i will ... but let me tell you the chassis fells really strong


*************

cjkranwin i know the tires are really big but the 1.9's i have (tlt ones) doesnt perform good... and buy new tires here means more than a month and more $$$

i prefer performance tha scale look for know since i have just one rig .. so when i buy another rig (WK maybe)i covert these to a real scaler and the other to a real offroader and rockcrawler

for now it will stay with the 2.2's

selll/ trade your mashers for some 1.9's;)

either way you do it itll loog good"thumbsup"

well my tires are not to big :)

these are 53" michellins!

but with 1.9 will look better you're right ....but i will stay with 2.2 because like i said before i prefer performance than looks until i get a second rig

thanks for looking
