Well, testing out a new camera and lens (by no means am I photographer!). Trying selective focus:

Looks real good man. Those are some nice pictures"thumbsup"

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

Well, I was having problems with steering with my chassis mounted servo. I just wasn't getting equal throw because of the lack of a pan hard bar. So I went back to the trusty axle mounted servo. My hood conceals most of it, and it's a 100% better performance (gotta sacrifice). With the cvd paired with gunner pins, I can turn on a dime. Almost comp buggy style.

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

I've been going back n forth about building a rig off of the R1 chassis and this thread sold me on it "thumbsup"

Awesome job, the rig looks great. thanks for posting up how you tucked all the electronics into the the chassis and you can't deny how well the 1.9 pit bulls work, love those tires :mrgreen:

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

You realize this really isnt a gmade anymore as vehicle type is based off of axle brand right? Why would you use axial axles anyway? The gmade are so much better with the portals!

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

Really? You're ripping into me about this? Axial axles look more scale over the portals in relation to the tube chassis. Besides, the axials are way more bullet proof.

Guess, I have to move this now. I was just showing other R1 owners what can be done with a little imagination.

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

I agree with tedo...with that much power he's pushing he better be running Axial axles! R1 Portals sure look cool but I just don't trust them unless they're going on a Mog or something where it has to be portaled for scale reasons.

Great job with the build! How's that spare tire and mount? Giving you and break over issues due to the added weight?

The one I have on my 2.2 KOH is a PITA. Might just throw on a plastic 2.2 short course wheel but then it wouldn't match the rest of my rig....ahhh scale and performance is a fine line to master.

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

The spare is really a non issue. It's a flat iron mounted on a stock axial 1.9 with no foam. It's really just cosmetic and light. And like I said earlier, the pitbulls are crazy awesome.

Thanks for the compliments, I have always loved your chassis! you have been silent for a while. Can never go wrong with a WOD chassis design. I would love the opportunity to purchace if you ever decide to part it out...

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

Yep better move it... Might as well just delete it:ror: JK;-)

Axial axles are the way to go, and i dont see any reason to use another axle. This looks great man, and i am sure it performs awsome"thumbsup"

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

Up for sale. In classifieds soon.

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

It went to a wonderful home!

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

Yes it did:mrgreen:

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

I think you need to mount some .50 cals and get ready for the zombie apocalypse!!! Nice build I have one sitting in the bof waiting on me to build it....so many projects, so little time, god I love retirement!!!!!!

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

that a sick truck. keep up the good work"thumbsup"

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

I know I'm a little late to the party but this has inspired me to do the same but I'll be going a different route by starting with a Honcho. I already ordered the R1 chassis, transmission and delrin plate. Do you mind (or even remember) what lengths your upper and lower links were? Any help would be much appreciated and the truck looks amazing. Hopefully it's still out pounding rocks somewhere out there. Can't wait to get mine going.

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

Are you running your tires with or with out foams?

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

I bought this truck quite some time ago.

It is still taking a monthly beating in our ultra4 races. :mrgreen:


His tires did have foams in them.

I can get you link lengths if you want them, however I extended the wheelbase a little bit when I put new links on it.

I have a build thread in this section if you wanted to see its current state.

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

Really cool ideas with how you hid stuff. Dont sweat the tires dude. They're close to perfect. I made a similar rig out of a venom creeper a few years back. Miss that rig.

Re: Tedo's KOH build
 

okay im liking the idea of the figer in the cab but I see you had to swap to the r2 transmission was that just a bolt on or need to be modified to fit and is that a custom plate on top of the servo for the winch

Re: Tedo's 1.9 KOH build
 

Wow this rig is really cool, I like the lines on the chassie it reminds me of a single seater buggy
