will i think its time for a change wth out inverting ny more dough into this little beast. i have some derlin left over from my 2.2 chasis and have decided to make a scaler using all cliff climber parts except the chasis and shox. I have had this dody from when this thing first came out in the 80's not sure exactly when. but it was my dads and was jst collecting dust. So i am giving it a new life. here are some pics of the body jst sittin on the cc for mock up.

here is wat im thinkin of for the chasis i will also go back to the stock links which are shorter. the wheel base will be 10in by 7 1/2in. the batteries will be relocated on the chasis not on the diffs.

this is the first i think i will use the rear shock mouting design but on this chasis design

gigercreeper · 11-27-2008, 02:12 PM

I recommend e-flights 3 cell 11.1 volt 2100 mah and go to common sense RC for the digital read out balancer.

You could get your Lipo there but I found it cheaper here.

Jones323 · 11-30-2008, 12:05 PM

The midnight pumkin body doesn't look close to scale on that chassis. Try to narrow the wheelbase more and get smaller better tires

gigercreeper · 11-30-2008, 11:13 PM

im gonna pic up some losi 1.9 claws next week

WVB · 12-12-2008, 10:03 AM
