Chaotic Ultra4 gmade hybrid
 

I found this rig in the for sale section and knew that I had to have it.

This is basically a continuation of tedo's previous build

Found here... http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/g-mad...koh-build.html

With some modifications of my own to make her fit into our ultra4 rules and also to prepare her for the beating it will receive. :mrgreen:

Here is what I started with...

First thing I did was rebuild the spare tire carrier to strengthen and keep it straight when abused by other rigs.

I then started building a new nose for it.

The reason for these mods Is to lengthen the overall chassis length to allow for a longer wheelbase.


All done and painted

Re: Chaotic Ultra4 gmade hybrid
 

Thanks man.
I'm really looking forward to driving this rig.
I have always really loved the look of this chassis but hated the rest of the kit.
Seeing a couple axial hybrids really made me start looking for one a few months ago.
This one was perfectly timed, because I was about to pickup a new dingo kit to play with. "thumbsup"


I'm sure I could probably do one up for you.
This next week is not a good time for me though.
Work mixed with plenty of chaotic business Has me buried for a bit.

Shoot me a pm in about a week or two and we will talk.

Re: Chaotic Ultra4 gmade hybrid
 

Hellz yeah! So glad it went to a proper home. Cannot wait to see your many updates!

Re: Chaotic Ultra4 gmade hybrid
 

I'll do my best to keep the updates coming, but for the most part the rig should be done pretty quick. :twisted:


I did have a question for you though.
Where did these side panels come from? They are bad ass!

Re: Chaotic Ultra4 gmade hybrid
 

Turning into me eh Marc? new rig every other race? lol.. I have loved the Gmade cage. Question for you... though i may know the answer..

Why not run the Portals? Strength issues? parts? I want portals! dont you?

Cant wait to drive with you again.. its been far too long! Take care and keep it up. its looking mean

Re: Chaotic Ultra4 gmade hybrid
 

I've heard the portals suck.
I doubt they could handle the abuse we throw down in ultra4.
Plus parts availability.

I want to have a rig for both classes.
This way I can run whichever one I want.
Plus I seem to always have my wraith in limbo with something being changed.
This allows me the time to finish the wraith without being rushed.

Re: Chaotic Ultra4 gmade hybrid
 

My buddy cut these panels at his work. He makes commercial stainless steel oven. Yes, they are baddass!

Re: Chaotic Ultra4 gmade hybrid
 

The portals are way too wide for a proper scale build with the gmade chassis. It kinda looks ridiculous (I've tried). Great axles for a sportsman rig, or a wider scale build. People always had issues with the half shafts breaking on them as well. I always had atleast 2 extras on me all the time... just a weak spot. I never had issues with the tiny tiny bearings in the portals, but I know they were another weak spot.

Re: Chaotic Ultra4 gmade hybrid
 

good to hear on the weak spots. I have a Wide FJ build that would be completely topped off with a portal axle. only to match the 1:1.

Thanks Tedo.

Re: Chaotic Ultra4 gmade hybrid
 

My 2 year old son has just been dying to help me work on this rig, so this weekend I took him to the hobby shop and let him pick out a paint color for the drivers helmet.(I also used this color throughout the interior in small spots)
I also let him paint just a tiny bit as well.

I tore the interior apart and gave basically everything a fresh coat of paint and some mods to get it to my liking.

I also added a new steering wheel, shifter, gauges, battery, and battery cables. :mrgreen:

Here is the interior all finished up.

I've got a few more minor details for the interior, but those will come later.


Then I started shoe horning my electronics in there and got it all word up and running.

This might be the fastest rig I own.:shock:
My wraith with the 4 pole is fast, but this thing gets down with its bad self.
It's probably way too fast, but I like my scalers to be fast. :mrgreen:

Re: Chaotic Ultra4 gmade hybrid
 

I finally had time to mount up my new vanquish OMF wheels and ballistic fab reservoir shocks. :)

I also got all my panels mounted.
All I have left is to figure out how to fit dual 1300mah 3s lipos in here. :mrgreen:

These wheels are simply one of the coolest wheels I've ever encountered.
But my god did it take some time to put all these screws in. :shock:
