JoNeS'N Poison Dart Pro build I decided it was time to rebuild up the pro rig, as the hybrid rig I had before had some issues. I chose the red chassis, as IMO it is the most beautiful of the lot. I am also playing around with the Losi shocks in the rear at full length. I think these shocks work so much better when they are upright, as opposed to being upside down. Tomorrow, I need to cut down the motor plate, drill the skidplate for the transmission, and test her out.

nice nice one Casey mines blue and going to be very similar "thumbsup" |
Looks good Casey ! I am still waiting on the chassis. So, I spend my time picking all of your brains ( Highlucks, DioptricStraw too name just a few ). Trying to prepare for the arrival of my "Tuolumne County Poison Dart". I did get some parts in to assemble the rear axle. Consisting of 43/13 Heavy duty beveled gears, Beef Toobs, Gunnar axle pins, STRC rear axle lockouts and VP rear 4 link plate. I will start a build thread when the chassis arrives. |
Afro and DRV...guys I am looking forward to your build threads as well. Thanks for the nice words. Casey |
Subscribed man, can't wait to see what you build up. I am thinking of getting another chassis and building up a pro-class rig, I have all the parts (stock axles, trans, vp dig) just need to accumulate some more money in my RC allowance to make an order! |
That red chassis looks mint all mounted up. Very nice. |

Hey casey, love your chassis. I just did a sxw build and im already looking at your chassis's. I love the bodiless deal. The losi shocks your running in the rear. I got some of them in a deal. i was wondering what hardware you were useing to mount them to the chassis. The rig i got them on was pieced together with a ton of random crap hardware. the shocks seem to have alot of play side to side. Thanks, kenny |
just got mine today, that red is awsome cant wait to start putting mine together"thumbsup" |
Done! Now I just need to make side panels. Also, I am considering picking up a Tekin FXR, as the BR-XL is a little big to be sitting behind the dig servo. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/IMG_0596.jpg http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/IMG_0597.jpg http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/IMG_0600.jpg http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/IMG_0601.jpg http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/IMG_0598.jpg http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/IMG_0604.jpg And this is how they keep reproducing. http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p...s/IMG_0605.jpg Casey |

As they sit right now, here are the weights. Red with Dig: 84.25 oz = 5.26 lbs Blue Sporty: 92.5 oz = 5.78 lbs The reason the blue is so much heavier is due to those heavy Chisels and Proline dual stage foams, and also I have D_lux knuckle weights on the front. The ATI turbines are not exactly light either. The red chassis has the B.A.M. wheels with Rovers, and that combo is soooo light. Also, these weights are without batteries. Casey |
The red chassis is gorgeous Casey. A set of Paul's wheels to match would be dead sexy. |

And thanks....I hold all my inventory in my work office, and all my coworkers that saw the chassis sets agreed that the red is BY FAR the sexiest of all of them. In person, you just can not beat the way it reflects light. "thumbsup" |
Here is a few minutes of video of my first test sessions today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmeBgdm_0J4 Casey |
