I need a project

[kurt]

So i have this cash burning a hole in my pocket and i can't decide what i want to build. I was thinking about just buying a super from someone on here but i guess i enjoy the build part of it too much. I need some fresh ideas. I want it to be either a crawler or a fast electric basher. I recently did an AX-10 build so that is out fo the question. If i decide to build another crawler, it will be large scale running 40 series for sure. Probably a tuber but thats not set in stone. I also thought about a brushless revo or savage but i just can't decide. I should have enough in my budget for just about any build but i want some ideas from you guys. What do you think?

[Norcal crawler]

HPI Baja 5b. Thats what i would do. a lot of guys have them on here and love them i just wish i could afford one.

[kurt]

that was actually one of my first choices, was gonna get a 5b SS. i may still do it. my wife just hates the noise.

I have a big grand cherokee body that would be great for a large scale, WB is right at 16". It has a full interior.

[kurt]

i'm not too big on the scale stuff honestly. i like to admire them but thats about where it ends.

[JohnRobHolmes]

You said you wanted a project If you like the build more than the drive, then scale is certainly something you should try. They are pretty fun to drive too.

Does it have to be a RC?

Once I finish my current projects I may give a diy-segway a stab.
I wonder if one coud get a dui on one of these. It would be great for bar hopping if they are as easy to ride as they look. The dork factor probably would not land any chicks though. lol you never know though.

i have a bunch of stampede and rustler parts....

[ctrwannabe]

man i have like 12 builds i want to do but not enough parts/money lol

good point. I enjoy the build but i am somewhat low on patience. And i know as soon as i completed the build i would be disappointed that it didn't perform better. i don't think a scaler is for me. I like extreme power and seeing what the limits of my rigs are. i call it controlled abuse. here are the spider gears from my brushless firestorm.



maybe a hustler and a 5b?

yep, i want to keep it rc

[kurt]

let me throw some options out there. anything electric will be brushless/lipo

E-savage
E-revo
Baja 5B SS
large tuber build (hustler probably)
another 2.2 build

Wait for the slash to come out, and go bl and lipo

i was looking at it but was't overly impressed. the tires look really small. plus i have a brushless firestorm for my 1/10th bashing needs

[RockMonster]

I've got the parts to make a nice shelf queen super if you're interested. 2 sets of clod axles new 1 set of JPS all aluminum axles and tran cases, 2 chassis one NN chassis and another chassis thats made to look like a tuber but's not. I've been thinking about putting up for sale so if you're interested hit me up.

[kurt]

i decided against a crawler. even though they are the builds i enjoy the most, i just don't have a good place to crawl.

down to baja 5b or somethig brushless

[Rudukai13]

Build your intepratation of an "un-scale" rock racer.

[kurt]

that might be fun to build but again, once its built i have no use for it. i would just be running around the yard with it.
I am going to get a 5B SS for sure but i might build a 2.2 tuber as well with something other than WK and AX axles.

that page says 2 wheels are more than you need, then the segaway thing has 2 wheels . that dude cant' count.

where do you crawl ? you are close .
