Hulksta Riddler with a dash of Dlux

[filotr14lsdude]

Hey guys.
I figured I should post up this thread. like many I was to busy building this rig before the Canz championship. I took heaps of pictures, just didn't have the time to start a build thread.

spec
Hulksta Riddler chassis
Dlux super lights
custom made 4mm Ti links
Gold voodoo with 6.0 CI foams
HE ??? wheels
RCbro shocks, body is 5mm shorter
brood vapours(came from my last rig)
Micro sidewinders
hitec 7990
KK skins to suit the older HE chassis,they were cut to suit.

onto the pictures....

The above pictures have the chaotic switch links, they set the chassis to a 50/50 position.
this chassis is meant to be 60/40 so I had to make links to suit.

this wasn't to bad a job, my first tikme making my own links. Im fairly happy with how theyturned out.

the links with the green RPM rodends are the ones I made.

Onto the axles, I picked them up from here. there were brand new unused. came as a complete crawler. the chassis has gone to a different project.

[filotr14lsdude]

On to electrics...

Fairly common practice here, nothing ground breaking. however it just works.

Sadly I had a sidewinder fail. it had 1 pack through it. I had to dig out my old smash. while I was at it, I made a spare one for the nationals. I figure some one may have needed it at the comp.

The rig as a roller.

Car looks great! I wish you were local, I would really be interested in watching that car run in person. Its a lot to wrap your head around.

this chassis is pure porn..
and the axels is pure porn also..
and offcourse the electronics must be porn then aswell..(servo and motors)
great rig..
Porn wagon??

[FLOKI-81]

[Beerman Crawler]

At first watching it is a little strange. it just looks wrong.
I found just drive it like a normal rig and it drives fine, you just need to use more proportional to keep it sucked down.

there's a video of both hulkstas and mine

I had a quite day at work so I made a delrin weight hanger. and some delrin rear weight hangers.
I liked the fact with the tungsten slugs I could have that much weigh below the axle line. I also like that with the brass and tungsten I could have a lot of knuckle weight.

I put the derlin hanger with 5 tungsten weights and I couldn't be more happy. RTR weight is 1700gr with 150gr of knuckle weight.

we have lift off...

this is it RTR with some custom wheels made buy Hulksta.
Ione of my crawling buddies kept ripping his tyres off using the dlux style wheel, because I was getting ready for the nationals I didn't really want anything like this happen. I spoke with Hulksta about making some in bead lock and he worked his magic.

Being a Week out from the nationals I figured I needed to get some drive time. I headed up to the location for some play time. A huge thanks to team mate Luxenberg for getting in a few days early and helping shake down this rig.

[filotr14lsdude]

The location for nationals was amazing.

[filotr14lsdude]

After all was said and done I ended up in the top 5 on day one. both for Pro and Sportsman.

I wasn't expecting that.

We had the shoot out on the sunday and I also done very well from that. I was shocked when I heard my placing's

I will post up a build thread for my sporty soon

[stankulas]

Awesome build and great colors!
The video really showed the performance of the extra shock
However I was disturbed by the shoe in the video

[filotr14lsdude]

A few weeks ago I changed to the 3D printed centres and newer motor plates that now are on offer by Dlux.

I like the little alloy bearing pocket. it makes working on these axles much better. I liked the little dlux logo on the centres so I couldn't refuse. the material feels very nice on the rocks as well.

Dan at Hulksta Engineering recently got himself a 3d printer. He was playing around and printed a few parts for me to test out for him.

So far there holding up excellent. I like how much better the roof profile is now. It will be interesting to see the long term durability.

[Postclanker]

I liked the flat hood better
Great to see it in action.....thanks for that

[filotr14lsdude]

Dan was just playing around with his printer, he always likes to make things different.

You will love driving this when you get yours built.
