Dlux superlites 7075 centers
Rcbro large gears with pin mod and drilled out for weight
SDS small gears
Rcbro lockers
Axial Chubs
Dlux knuckles and weights
Rcbro shocks
Dlux wheels
Silver Voodoo's
CI foams
Y-Town Double Agent
Dlux ti links alum balls
alum hardware
Skins in the works

HH br minis
Castle BEC
Hitec 7950
Futaba 2106GF receiver
Futaba 4PX
Team Brood HHK-T Stubbies 35t (Soon to be Nexus HHK-T 30T)

On to some pics

First outdoor comp with the rig with the boys form WARCRC and got the win. Have to say the rig isn't far off from being dialed in!"thumbsup"
I know some guys have some pics and video of the comp. When I get my hands on it I'll add it to the thread!
Again thanks guys for having me down for this one was a beautiful day out on the rocks with a great group!"thumbsup"

About fricken time you put up a build thread :roll::roll:
Good to see the tuning we did to the truck before the comp made a difference "thumbsup"

Also glad the super worked well for you.

Better make a build thread for your super since you haven't built anything on it yet. :twisted:

Great looking truck Randy."thumbsup"

Finally a chassis change from the antiquated Chaotic stuff.

I can't wait to see some video from the comp.:twisted:

I've been chatting up the fellas here in Calgary and we are going to try to line up a weekend where we can comp with LMRCC and WARCRC.:shock:

Mmmmmm double dip comp weekend.

EDIT: I noticed that you have skins in the works. Ever thought of a slick BC Paints paint job?

As soon as I get them in and tested I'll let you know. Still running the stubbies at the moment as they are still an excellent motor!"thumbsup"

Thanks Samu! I did put a lot of thought into this rig before I pulled the trigger on these parts and I have to say they have come together very nicely!

Thanks Kev! "thumbsup" I know it was about time to move on from Chaotic even thou it served me well.

Video will be coming I'm sure as I know Chad has taken some. I'll see if he can make a video of just me for the thread.

I haven't pulled the trigger on any skins yet as you will see once the photos and video come out. I have been considering Ryan just thinking about my options at the moment!

Thanks again everyone and thanks to all the vendors that made this rig possible!!"thumbsup"

Re: Mammoth's journey to the berg
 
the chaotic crawlers chassis is extreme good,,
my first 2.2pro chassis was a switch and I am very happy with the way it smashes rocks on the course,,he he he..
and the nexus motors is the new form for stubby,,the stubby is history and the nexus has taken it`s place....

So much carbon in those first couple of pics! Crazy!

Car looks great!

Youre building a super? :shock::mrgreen:

Erik D_lux 02-24-2015 08:46 AM

Re: Mammoth's journey to the berg
 
Those knuckle weights are pretty crazy too. Good way to keep the weight where you want it but get it way out there.

Yes I know the stubbies are history. I need to get some practice time with the nexus before I take them out to a comp.

Yes the knuckle weight works great! I have removed some from the first pics and it seems to be a prefect balance! Thanks for the sweet design!"thumbsup"

We had the last indoor comp of our winter season and managed to pull of another win with the dbl agent."thumbsup" This truck just seems to do work and can't be happier heading outside in couple weeks for the start of the summer series! Going to have a back to back comp with the gents (well except Berto) from WARCRC and then our season opener! Going to be a fun weekend of crawling. Going to have to do a good check of all my rigs to make sure there good to go!

Re: Mammoth's journey to the berg

Well we had our 2nd comp of the summer series and I managed to squeak out the win after being down and out for 2 months with an illness. It was a long day for a guy with no energy but was good to get out there again with the guys on the rocks!

Once the video gets uploaded I'll post it up!

Here's some video from the comp as promised. Course 2 & 3 and the start of 4. Video man is still learning his camera so it gets a little dark at times. All in all a really day out on the rocks!"thumbsup"

So big news for me!:D Even though the Dbl Agent has served me well so far I've gotten an opportunity I just couldn't pass up! Chris from 5th Dimension has asked me to join his team and I gladly accepted."thumbsup" So with that being said I will be changing chassis' as soon as he can get one to me and I'll be starting a new thread to go along with the new chassis and team!

Thanks again Chris and I look forward to driving The Dominator and Sucker Punch chassis'!"thumbsup"
