It looks like a good start, but please, for your own good, ditch those upper links for some aluminum, delrin or ti. It looks like a great list of parts, its time to install em and get it running.

Like the ammo can too."thumbsup"

Yeah I was planing on getting some aluminum links that matched the orange theme"thumbsup" Hopefully I will get all the soldering done today and then it will be ready to go once I get the battery mount in. Hows the best way to mount the esc's in the chassis, back to back or one on each side of the frame?

Well, I finaly got everything soldered up and put together. The only thing I am waiting for is my Rowdy racing battery mount and some Vp gear."thumbsup" I cant wait!! I drove it around the house some and it is amazing. Sorry for the somewhat blurry pictures.

Heck Yeah Chess. Your build is looking awesome. I love love the way that Viper chassis looks. What is the C rating of the battery you are using? I need to gat a battery that weighs less and your looks about the right size. Thanks for your reply and again your build looks great. James T.

Good looking truck you got!!! I like the chassis and the way it looks as well."thumbsup"

Thanks for all the compliments. The battery is 15c and it has so far done the job."thumbsup" I really like the way the Viper came out with the carbon. Its amazing how the vinyl carbon fiber looks. Its even better then real carbon at a fraction the cost.:mrgreen:

Are you gonna cut windows?...looks like B.A. Baracus built that thing!

Haha. No I kinda like it with no windows. It makes it differant then everyone elses viper"thumbsup" Well I got a set of dhII's order with the hubs and rings. Then a trans case for the front and back. I wish I had more money to buy stuff but Im running low:shock:

But your driver won't be able to look out the side windows......??

Haha. I have never seen people care so much about windows:flipoff:, but fine I will cut windows out. I guess Im a push over. The waiting game is going to kill me:cry:.

Carbon Extreme! Actually, I'm with you...I kind of like the no windows look "thumbsup"

I need to pull the trigger on one of these 4PL's soon.

If you like it like that, leave it be, I was just cracking a joke. It kind of has that Killer Alien Drone look to it w/o any side windows. The truck looks really good.

I like the side panels, it is a different spin on things, nice work! now get it finished and some rock rash on it "thumbsup"

I just love the 4pl. I would say its the best radio on the market for the right price"thumbsup" I got one side cut out. It looks better with a window. There was just too much carbon. I will post pictures once I get the other window cut out.

My 4pl was delivered this moroning, I can't wait to get home and check it out. Loooking forward to seeing the progression of your truck, so far it looks like a nice addition to the Viper family.

Thank you. Im happy how it has turned out so far. Soon I will have pictures of it in action, just need the battery mount. Here are the pictures of the windows cut out. Im really happy I cut them out:mrgreen:

That looks badass w/ just the front window cut out like that, nice work. Now your driver doesn't have blinders on:lmao:

Should be there any day now.
That's one of the best looking Vipers I have seen. "thumbsup"

Sweet, hopefully it comes today or I might strangle the mail man. Thanks for the compliment.


:lmao:I wish that would make me a better driver.
