It takes a futaba splined horn.

Plus they are a little quicker.

Nice looking rig

Thanks for the tip Kieren!

I will solder on a female servo plug to the ESC power leads and run the signal wire to its own plug into the receiver.

And how do you run the servo straight off the 3s? Just wire the + & - servo lead directly to the battery connector with the signal wire to the rx?

Exactly.

The upper is also custom or just a BJ one? Can't wait to see it run!

How's the hardware?

Thanks Calvin! Its a 1/16" delrin BJ cab.

Thanks Steven, they are very slick, pm coming soon.

For now yes.

4xFord · 09-27-2011, 05:51 PM

Here are some updated shots.

She is a runner now, I made it a little futher than these pics, will get more up soon.

Highlucks · 09-27-2011, 05:58 PM

Shelby that looks unreal. Can we see some pictures with wheels and tyres on.

JeremyH · 09-27-2011, 06:19 PM

Looks like I might actually have someone to compete against soon!

ROWDY RACING · 09-27-2011, 06:24 PM

I was just wondering what happened to this build the other day. It looks great and I am sure it performs well also, keep up the good work.

krawlfreak · 09-27-2011, 06:35 PM

nicely done shelby....you got me beat.....for now

Stormin2u · 09-27-2011, 06:35 PM

Thats absolutely the sickest yet, I can see why it took awhile to bring it to this level of finish. It looks like it's going to be crazy fun to drive. Nice work.

michael · 09-27-2011, 06:47 PM

Nice job Shelby,looks amazing for a shafty!

Almighty Malach · 09-27-2011, 07:04 PM

Wicked cool. Will a vanquish dig and full size servo fit in that chassis for an old school comp rig?

Hittman · 09-27-2011, 07:18 PM

That looks really sick, good job man. I am sure that if performs just crazy good. I was wondering if you could explain how you did the battery mount, with pictures would be awsome,thanks. again good job

TSK · 09-27-2011, 07:32 PM

That electronics plate is dope.

DRV KRAWLER · 09-27-2011, 07:45 PM

With a wider skid. I'm not sure if the puller will stay in here, hopefully it does. But if I go 540 I will use a wider skid.

Well the battery mount isn't in those pictures actually, but the big velcro slab is lexan secured to the trans with little servo mount pieces. I will get some better pics.

Thanks. It was really easy and cheap, just not for rigs with digs.

Duuuuuuuude · 09-27-2011, 10:46 PM

You're running the tie rod under the links? Nice.

Cool rig man, I should have popped in here earlier.

4xFord · 09-27-2011, 10:48 PM

Alright, she is completely RTR now, receiver is out in these pics though.

Better camera, better pics! An old set of skins.

Front end shot.

Motor (left) side profile.

Right side profile.

1.5" wide skid, pretty narrow for a shafty.
