Only one pic Jake ?:shock: C'mon dudeeeee !!! You want us to collapse with all the buzz around that rock monster :lmao::lmao: ?
I'm happy to see that rig coming along, your ideas are always inspirational even though I perfectly know I won't be able to approach a 1/4 of them...
Looking to see how you'll tear it comping..."thumbsup"

Re: Del Monte's Secret Agent build
 

This is just some crazy sillyness. I love it!
the rig is looking great so far, im interested to see how light you can run while still seeing improvements in performance."thumbsup"

Re: Del Monte's Secret Agent build
 

Looks like aluminum links with plastic body shocks:shock:

Seems legit:mrgreen:

Re: Del Monte's Secret Agent build
 

Am I the only one who finds this funny? A shakedown run on a new truck at your state's finals...:ror:

Re: Del Monte's Secret Agent build
 

I love the concept of this sub 3lb rig. I bet it just fly threw the air.

Keep up the work you are truly blowing be away.

Re: Del Monte's Secret Agent build
 

Must be nice to be qualified for Nats 4 timers over LOL "thumbsup"

Looks good Jake!

Re: Del Monte's Secret Agent build
 

I don't think I will quite break the 3lb barrier just yet, but I think 3.5lbs with weight might just be possible.

Is a rig that light going to blow off the rocks in that high desert wind we all love? Maybe we need to set up some floating gates for you ;)

hurry up and finish it already you have about 25 hours to get it turning

Maybe with it being SO light, and with the right tire and foam set up you could just eliminate the rear motor :mrgreen: Front wheel drive only :ror:

Re: Del Monte's Secret Agent build
 

Smaller motors. Whats smaller than 540? I have no idea. 380? These brushed motors are before my time in RC.

With how light it is and how you are a finesse driver, you don't need a bunch of torque.

But I don't think that is his game plan as I saw him selling them not to long ago.

Re: Del Monte's Secret Agent build
 

I know what motors he's going to use;-)

Re: Del Monte's Secret Agent build
 

I'm not a big fan of the 454 pullers for an XR. The start-up just isn't good enough for competition use. This doesn't mean that there won't be some new, and even lighter motors in this rigs future though.



















Also... IT LIVES :twisted:

Came in at 3.5lbs with my 13t crawlmasters, no knuckle weights, and with a lot of heavy steel hardware. The front bias feels pretty good now, but we will see how it does tomorrow.

Re: Del Monte's Secret Agent build
 

Great just when I thought tomorrow was going to be another casual FUN day in the OC! Now I gotta try and keep up with this? :shock:

see you tomorrow buddy. Can't wait to fondle it. "thumbsup"

Re: Del Monte's Secret Agent build
 

Nice Let us know how it works without the knuckle weights.... Are you going to be gettin Alu hardware soon?

Re: Del Monte's Secret Agent build
 

Nice...you're only 2lbs lighter than me. Its gonna be a fun day tmrw. You with your 3.5, pounder & Brandon with his 6.5 pound rig.

See ya in a few hours.

J.D.

Short!:twisted:

Re: Del Monte's Secret Agent build
 

Well.. the truck decided it didn't want its maiden voyage to be on concreted boulders. I had some sort of batttery/esc failure about 10 seconds into the first course.
