How about some body off shots if you can? Did your mate ever post some photos of his SSS he bought? Last edited by RIG_RIDER; 10-04-2010 at 09:50 PM. |

Your rig looks great! How are you liking the new chassis? And how the SSS treating your mate? |

Thanks to all for the kind words. Rig rider: My mate is enjoying his new toy. He just needs to get his paypal sorted so that he can start buying his own shit. Like Gunnar pins for the CVD's. The difference is his bought mine is built. I like this chassis a lot.From the little drive time I have had on it, it is a lot more predictable than its older brother. Plus the tune ability of it is a nice change. When I get some time I will be rebuilding my old one to run is sportsman. BTW this body was my first crack at using liquid mask.

This is the first time I have seen the new chassis run and even in Highlucks hands, it performed very well. The rock was an open grained granite that didn't suit the boss claws so much, but the chassis went a long way to overcoming the tyres shortcomings. This was the first time this build had been run, and its in the top three pro cars from the first round. BTW, as a part time machinist, I really like your work, very clean. | |

Yo...can you get a close up of the steering? Do you actually get that much throw from the servo?

SUre thing mate, yeah she really turns that hard. Quote:
We have four kittens at the moment. I rescued them from the warehouse at work. We did that the month before last. This time we are going to shoot a heap of wild life and crawl that. Kangaroos, emu, koala and platypus make great crawler tracks if you have enough of them. Last edited by Highlucks; 10-10-2010 at 06:43 PM. | ||

Nice build and great pics. Does that motor get hot when you run in the summer? I'm thinking of getting one. Thanks.
