Only thing I am lacking is a longer transmission output and swapping out one of the diffs for a locker. |
Re: Szczerba's Terra-X Build i may hve to get one of those dinky servo mounts too. ive seen them on a couple rigs. really starting to grow on me. ive been called a fabricator at work plenty of times. i always disagree. i can whip somethin up if i have to. thats about it. |

I drove this for 2 minutes in the rain right at dark. whoa :shock: handles good, tons of power and jumps flat. Might try for a short video soon just need to finish up the side panel mounts and figure out something for the rear. |
Sweet looking rig. Should be a blast to drive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks. Ran it today and pulled a 2nd place finish in the Wraith class Terra-X Added the Dinky R/C fuel cell yesterday. Won Carter Fab Wraith panel set and a Crawler Innovations Wraith Battery Tray. Thanks Clay and Eddie "thumbsup" Spun the rear locker on one side with a half a lap to go. and then busted a revo rod end jumping off the skate ramp afterwards. 4WS came in quite handy for the Terra-X race. I forgot to set my ESC to crawler mode before the race. :twisted: Probably a video coming in the near future. |

Check out my Twin Hammer's tread for that class video. |
Re: Szczerba's Terra-X Build Ahh, now I see on my pc. The video wasn't popping up on my phone. Looks like radical fun. A little more adrenaline rushing I imagine. I (or someoene) needs to set this up in my area! :) :Awsome: |
Re: Szczerba's Terra-X Build do you guys set up a transponder system to determine winner? is it won by first to cross the finish line after X number of laps, or most laps in the alotted time? |
Re: Szczerba's Terra-X Build land rush start.. 5 laps or how ever long or short you want the race.. 1st to cross finish wins.. if you roll over,you can flip yourself over,but if someone is directly behind you,you must place your rig behind them.. example...im flipped over and shane and ross are right behind me going thru a bottleneck obstacle..id have to repo behind ross. if your vehicle goes out of bounds you must re-enter where you went out. out of bounds is all 4 wheels. dont stand on track..if you have to cross it do so quickly And above all else Have fun! |
