Here's what it looks like at the moment. Almost stock :? :
6Cell Sub-C on Front axle
1/10th ESC powering both motors in parallel (i guess)
Traxxas waterproof servo on rear axle, Some other servo on the front axle (good thing they do rotate in different directions, so no need for spacer on the rear

)

To-do list:
Need to clock the front axle real bad!!!
Extend the wheelbase and change the mounting position of the lower links on the stock chassis...
May be some day some custom chassis, who knows

Today i've painted the body, cuz i was sick of bashing this thing with a transperant body

NOTE: This is my first ever body paint + the body has 5hrs of driving and scratching the protective film ... (doh, next time i'll know not to bash until painted

)

First color - LRP "ROT" (red)

few coats of that should do it...

Second color(main) - LRP "WEISS" (white)

you can actually see here that i had to mask the outside, cuz the protective film was ruined...

Done and decaled (masking sucks btw!!)

Sitting on the CC:

I tried to do something like Bronco style with the front decals... Meh, i still like it better than the stock DTX grill thingy.

Top View of the "Japanese Empire Flag"

That's it, hope you like my first try at painting a body.
A few heads up for the other first timers in terms of masking complicated thingies:
1. TAKE YOUR TIME WHEN MASKING

2. Use a fresh masking tape (mine wasnt sticking that good so that's why i got splashes)
3. Use a sharp (as sharp as possible/new) exacto knife.
Mine weren't

4. Oh, and don't screw up the protective film on the outside of the body ;)

Look's good. What about making the sun on an yellow base? Dark yellow would be real nice i think!

Looks good, I like the way you did the turn signals and taillights too.

ccbg · 06-10-2009, 03:28 PM

Thanks, Jamus! Tried to do something original really. For the rear, i just felt like it, cuz the lower rear "bumper" might get cut one day!

Hoping this gonn be a "stick" soon!

Red_Baron, uhmmm.. dont think so

Really like the Japanese Empire flag how it is

Thanks for the comments, guys!

P.S. Loooks reaaal nice on the rocks!

Gonna upload a photo and add it here, asap.

ccbg · 06-11-2009, 01:45 PM

Yep... How you ask? SLOOOW

DAAAMN SLOW! Needs 1-2 more cells, but i dont think my ESC would like that....

I have a single 7 cell AA 1800 Nihm pack in mine with the banebots motors and it has plenty of power and decent speed. About 4mph

ccbg · 06-12-2009, 07:20 AM

The banebots are lower voltage than stock to begin with, i think. That's why it's faster... Well... it's fast enough for me, as i said, may be 1 or 2 more cells would be perfect.
