I brazed them one at a time, then flooded the whole joint just to smooth it out.

Awesome work. The cage looks spot on.

Must learn how to braze soon.

So are we looking for an 8 pound baby or more. As mine weighs about 6 1/2 I guess yours will beat that. Stelerz looks to be just post conception lol.

7lbs 3oz RTR with a 2650mah 3s

May have look into A 1/8th scale power plant, we will see

[M1tch]

With that weight go for 1/8 power. My old hpi 1960kv motor and an ezrun sc8 esc go like crazy and the transmission is so much simpler. As I have found though tough center driveshafts are essential. The motor and esc don't even get warm as they are meant to drive heavier trucks like truggy's.

[Hacksaw707]

I powder coated the cage Copper sparkle with crystal clear, the pics kinda suck in the dark house, They don't do the color justice. Will get some better ones outside in the sun. Also coated the chassis rails, Bulk head skid, electronics tray and expanded aluminum semi gloss black to match the Delrin. Kept the cross bars raw, polished them up a little just for shits and giggles
Hope to get the body, blast shields and misc. finished up this weekend......will see.

Very cool
