Hot Wheels Inspired Formula Offroad
 

Crawler King no more. I will post more pics Later. Still need a bunch off stuff done, like a tuber bolt on cage and new battery placement. Homemade Aluminium Chassis with everything reworked. All stock links. Opinions Welcome. Going to use it for some sand hillclimbs like those crazy Formula Offroaders.

"thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup" I FREAKIN LOVE IT !!!!!!!!! It's freakin sweet , so now i have something to do with my W/K axles and JRX2 trans (holy golden moldy) Yeah i gotta trde it for a W/K trans. hahahaha ... Awesome rendering of a Formula W/K !!!!!!!"thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup" Is the front suspension semi droop ? just thinkin you'd want it sprung for the terrain , but i understand ride height issues . Switch to a much smaller 3s li-po then just run touring car shocks on front with light springs .

Yeah I saw the Hotwheels in Wal-Mart the other day. It is a 2010 model. That was the inspiration to research Formula Offroad. I live near the beach so I am going to try it out when the weather breaks."thumbsup"Thanx

The front shocks Traxxas Front Rustlers that are semi droop w/ Internal springs. I am actually going to make a Split Pack and run 3 NIMH cells on each side of the chassis towards the middle. I had it like that untill I blew a cell. So now I just put a regular pack in the front. The Rear has numerous shock mounts I can play with. Right now the back is slightly higher than the front.

thats slick with the motor threw the hood like a blower.... looks awesome man.. hope your gonna post a vid of it in action

sick wheres the video:twisted:

Wow!
 

That is sweeeeeeet :shock: I love the formula offroad trucks and style of driving. I have a wanna be foff WK but nothing like this. Very nice build!!"thumbsup":mrgreen:

Cool Thanx Guys."thumbsup"Going to take the Rooster out. Too much Braking at a full speed stop, I think this might mess with the Trans too much. I am always on a Budget so I think I might try a Associated SC10 Set up. The Reedy 17 turn motor with the ESC. Here are some more Pics.

This is where I want the Batteries to go NUN-CHUCK Style. Going to Fab up some Side Skid Plates that bolt on to the chassis and the Batt's will sit in there."thumbsup"

Thanx"thumbsup":mrgreen: Yeah I have drawings. Might put the Rooster up for sale too.

ps
I would keep that battery just where it is now
And there is a solution for the gear box

[/QUOTE]

Solution?? What do you mean??

awesome truck! have you considered putting a 3on3 or 2 on 4 battery in front of the trans?

Na, The nun-Chuck style will work best as far as looks and Low COG. When done the batt's will be hidden.

Yeah I know but there is no Comps around here just what is on the beach, So I rather go with looks, We will have to see how it works. Where do you sell the gears??

Test Run 1 with a 27 turn Motor. Just runnin to see how she handles.

Looks sweet!

Now you just need to go brussless/lipo and your set!

Going to keep it brushed. Brushless/Lipo is too much money for me right now. Thanx"thumbsup"

Just got a Traxxas Stinger 20 turn. Going to try that with a 18 Tooth Pinion and see how she does this weekend. Might be able to get a 15 turn ESC combo hopefully too."thumbsup"
