RaptorG6 Build

[Txraptor]

Quick update on my G6 build, finally parts started to arrive.

How it showed up the door step


This was my first build and i had to ask joetech
about 100 million questions on where and how things went luckily i was
at his house, Thanks joe



Before cutting the body


Painted body added the decals and all the good stuff, its was my first time paint two different paint tones one for body and one for interior
so i smudged a few edge's but its all good. I like it !!! The paint is called brunt bronze


Ordered new wheels, so i painted the walker evans the same color brunt bronze just for shits and giggles.



Nearly complete


And finally parts started to come in to finish the project, cant wait to crawl it!!! Led's, Batt, Wheels, Scale parts


Ill post update once i take it out to crawl i loved my honcho so hopefully this one performs like it or better. I had to soften the suspension a bit after testing it on some rocks to take pictures i could see it would lift the rear tires without hesitation or vice verse front tires, just for the mean time while i await new shocks.

Thanks for looking!!!

First test run!!!

Not trying to get to much flex , these shocks are crap period I'm afraid it won't hold on the trials and will end up flipping over more then trailing. I'll find out today how it performs

These is a fun rig to run and trail with also one of my favorite rigs. I'm also impressed on how well the crawl by having that low COG...
