That looks nice. I just wish there was some sand around here. I have to drive my sandrail in the dirt and on grass.

Thanks guys, its getting there, I still gotta get the seats mounted, I just bought 2 more off ebay for the back seats. I got my Hi Lift Jack mounted ;-) (thanks Ben) on the back, I am trying to think of way to light up the lights on the roll bar with out seeing a mess of wires. There is lots more of this thing to come, Still need to decal it with all the sponsors 8) .I would have had more shots and videos but after the 3rd pack it blew the tires right off the wheels :shock: I guess shoe goo isnt going to hold these bad boys on...time for the tire ca :lol:

dude holy crap I just watched the vids you really need to get a faster motor. get the mamba its way faster:flipoff: mine does almost 50mph with only a 6 cell and 16/84 gearing my motor is only spinning at 55,440 rpms but if I bump it up to an 8 cell it will bump up to 73,920 rpms and soon I will be getting a 3 cell lipo which will bump it up to 85,470 rpms.:flipoff: this thing will be sick with a 3 cell

Mamba eh? I was thinking of eventually talking to holmeshobbies and seeing what systems he had. I know I can get faster motors for the ss5800 system, maybe ill try that...I dont have the cash right now to buy a whole new system. The Novak one wasnt cheap

Mike-
Hollow tubing was use to build this right? May be you can do what motor cycle builders do to hide wires. Drill some holes in the frame and then run them through and come out close to where the lights are. Just an idea but would look clean. By the way nice video and pics. I can't wait to get mine! HAHA!

I used to love the novaks untill I got the mamba system now I will never go back to the novaks censorless for me all the way. Im working on a duel motor 2 speed trannied electric rail in my head at the moment it will run kedo kb30-50 motors with a ntc3 2 speedor maybe ill get a 3 speed:flipoff:PS check your pms

You do realize a 2-speed is just about worthless in an electric, right? Especially if it's BL.

That rail is friggin sick. I was a little dissappointed on how not-fast it is, but it looks great and throws a good roost.
Here's my baja bug running a 10x2 on 6 cells. It flies across the sand and pulls wheel stands in the hard packed stuff:

It looks really slow huh :-( I doesnt seem that slow when your driving it...its actually kinda hard to keep control and drive it straight...

WOW camel that rc10 cranks...I think I might order those tires, The paddles I have dont seem to have enougth grip and I think they are spinning more then anything.... As far as dooing wheelies you have a MUCH shorter wheel base, Although my goal is to some how to get this thing to pull wheelies. I think im going to try changing tires and try running 7 cells...

how about an hvmaxx?. that thing almost does wheelis in my tc4 and flips everything else over

I think I might be putting the bug body and tires on my B4 because the RC10 is a little hard to control (short WB and narrow track width).
Censored brushless sucks. Besides, I think either a Mamba Max 5700 or a Feigao 8s would be more than enough power.

Well guys the Sand Rail is probably 95% complete at this point. I had my step father letter it up for me just like his design he used on the Deputy cars out here. The gold stripes are even reflective just like the real car. I got the seats installed and mounted up the steering along with stickers from a Bruiser dash. Only other thing I am doing is thinking about a light bar from the ORCRC.com site and maybe some fake Dual exhaust out the back 8)

that is too cool, the baja bug was faster but i like the way yours handled and jumped much better. doesn't look like you spend alot of time running to flip it back over. do you like the paddles better than the others that were on there? i think i am going to have to start plans for one of these, lol.

Well I would have to agree, I would like a nitro rail as well. It would have to have a flat four four stroker and a custom trans-axle made but it would be fun to build.

haha yea well they are actually velcro'd in so I can move them back a lil bit.
I used velcro because I need to be able to get the battery in and out still and this was probably the best way I could find to keep it scale yet functional

Dude i want one. Did you make that chassis? Wanna make another? I have a set of RC10GT axles sitting here. Could you make me one that would have those axles bolt right up?

I'm pretty sure he made it himself? Dunno but it would be best IMO to pm him.

ColquittCustom405 made a couple of them, just send him a PM. He does great work, very high craftsmanship.
