Well I got my cage painted up. Finally got my parts in and put on. Looking at some battery and motor choices now. When I get my motor I can mount the cage back up.

I'm thinking of a 55t but may get a 45T at the same time. What's the normal final gear ratio on 2.2's? My final drive is 73.3:1 now. Would 55T be too slow with that gearing (not enough wheel speed when needed)? I'm open for suggestions. Thanks ahead of time.

That looks good

I would think 45 instead of 55 just my 2 cents

Got to workin on my electrics this weekend. I was suppose to get new batteries over x-mas but money got funny and had to make me a poor man's pack. I got a bunch of old 3000nimh cells together together and made me a 10 cell brick and then I was stuck with the dilemma, "Where do I put this thing?

"

This is one heavy pack and I can't wait to get my lipos but gonna run this for now.

Talk about high CG

Well I got her semi done for now and a lot to catch up on and a lot of pics. I've had her out to run and got pics and vids. Also busted a CV. I was wanting it to be scratch free and completely done with the interior but got impatient and eager to run it.

On to the posers...

Luv those axles. nice build

liveforocks · 01-13-2008, 05:52 PM

how much does that thin weigh?

Thundermaxx · 01-13-2008, 06:03 PM

Thnx. I'm gonna say about 10-13 lbs. Not sure. Really need lipos.

Had a little carnage on the second outing. I got my Axiom 55T in it and I think I torque the CV pretty hard with the wheels turned and locked on a rock. Purty pics though.

Weighting on short vid to load up and I'll post it.

My nephew couldn't figure out the art of point and click videoing so I only got a minute out of 10 that was worth anything. What seems like a special effect at the beginning is his hand shaking violently for some ungodly reason

about 10sec worth. My bad for the rant. Here's the VID

elbo · 01-13-2008, 06:56 PM

nice. axles definitely complete the truck.

railey72 · 01-14-2008, 11:30 AM

Great conversion. You should mod up a trekker cab to fit under that exo.

Thundermaxx · 01-14-2008, 12:54 PM

I have the Bruiser interior. Just want to wait and get the windshield first before I put it in.

Thundermaxx · 01-17-2008, 12:04 PM

Well I've got a lot of running in and got backed up on pics so there's alot.

Got me some rock running in at a spot I spotted on the side of the road. Darn daylight savings is killing me. I can only get there after work and get like 10mins of sun light.

Got some snow pics to upload and I'll post those. We don't get snow that much round here in the south.

Nice truck and ncie axles, but no offense i think that the blue exo doesnt mix well with the truck, may be black will look better, and also the chassis on black ... but thats me

keep it comin
