Nice chassis... I do have to say I miss the sexy bends the V3 had on it...

looks sick Art but you still gotta learn how to drive

I assembled my front axle today and was really suprised at how smooth it went together. Yep I cut 1 mm off the screws just to make sure they didn't run thru bearing case

JeremyH · 10-17-2010, 01:42 PM

Looking good Art! Those lamb print sheets on your bed are cute!

Looks good Art! Do you have a beefier servo horn coming? I know I would destroy that one in about 2 minutes

kasper · 10-19-2010, 05:07 PM

Looking forward to seeing this perform this week at i hobby take it easy on the rest of us though

Jeepkid · 10-19-2010, 06:16 PM

That look awsome. There is something about that chassis that just makes me want one. And I'm a guy that likes bodied rigs.

Yeah, I have a Robitronic en-route, along with a matched pair of JRH Hand wound 45's, the aluminum upgrades ala VP, ceramic bearings and some Ti links...eventually I'll go with the upgraded cases for 10mm bearings....when they are available. **hint hint** Tom

haha, no not up side down, but since I modified them, they don't stay put anymore, so a dab of super glue later and now the plastic stays down. Besides, it's only a temporary setup until I get the Ti links, but I need it driveable for this week.
