Well, its coming along nicely, so I figured I'd post some pics.

frame is built from 2" aluminium channel

I went with a novak xrs ESC, and an airtronics radio and servo

lookin good cant wait to see it finished!

Del Monte · 01-16-2006, 03:14 PM

here's a few shots with the new body from yesterdays socal nylint get together.

SlammedMini469 · 01-16-2006, 03:24 PM

holy crap, is that as steep as it looks?

Del Monte · 01-16-2006, 03:29 PM

yep, but I got denied there when my bealock/washer slipped a bit.

I made this one though

Del Monte · 01-16-2006, 03:34 PM

its amazing how much proportional electronics and a decent 4 link setup helps these things. I think once its dialed in, it will be capable of running with much more expensive rigs.

SlammedMini469 · 01-16-2006, 03:39 PM

holy crap.....my 1:6 wont even make it up stuff that steep.....

bennett-racing · 01-16-2006, 10:16 PM

ok dude thats realy prety cool pics props 2 ya

but i also think these little boogers are going to soon become a hot little item especialy 4 the mony great 4 starters not as pricey as clods and some others
i think once these things are seen at gtg s and comps the will be a big hit
and again props to ya man nice job .......

Del Monte · 01-16-2006, 10:39 PM

thanks

and yeah, I definatley think these little things are going to get more popular for comp type wheeling. Especially when there is more aftermarket stuff to make it easier to build them.

JJ · 01-17-2006, 06:55 AM

More detailed pics of how that went together please? Very cool from what I can see. BTW, where was this "So-Cal Nylint get together"?
Thanks

Then Please hurry up and finish so you can share your secret. Looking for more ideas before I start hacking mine up.

Nice Rig Del Monte
Very capable crawler from what I seen at the socal nylint get together.
Hope I get a chance to compete with you next time.

haha, thanks!

right now I'm working on a better steering setup and ironing out a few of the suspension problems. I'll get some better pics and a video or two when I get a chance.
