Default My Formula Offroad Blaster

I started off with a Timberwolf bolted chassis.

I'll add more info soon.



Here is what I have so far. Not much left.



Got to work on the grill a little bit.



Yeh...its Holmes powered.

Default what tranny

Are you running a axil trans ? What gears are you using? Pinion and spur. Brushless on 2s or 3s? I love you rig and the real ones are insane. It would be awsome to water proof everything and try and run one across the water like the real ones.

Default tires

If you look at the real one they have different tires alot of the time depending on the soil and trraction conditions also set up as far as weight bias in the chassis. Kinda like a mud bogger aswell. I like it either way same of different. Want to see video hopefully soon.

I should get a free one. I think I helped creat the craze for those.

I need to change out the tranny and power plant.

Stang...how was the speed in the Stadium truck you built with the Axial tranny and TLT rear axle?
