EDIT: OOO and you shave the big rock ancor(SP?) part off of the front housing (what do i win)

RANOVRU · 01-23-2006, 04:36 PM

It ain't exactly my cup of tea, but if it's functional who cares.

I am a little interested in your steering set-up. Care to explain?

gregman_1 · 01-23-2006, 04:52 PM

That "steering box" looks a whole hell of a lot like a Futaba servo. How in the hell did you manage that?

Yes please..do tell

joecrawler · 01-23-2006, 06:42 PM

you got the new invisible hub covers in super see thru paint, a tummytuck, custom skidplates, a custom steering, relocation of the shocks, a big yellow body of course.

i sense som dremel work in the blue arms and if im right "holy dremel work batman".

if im wrong i will cry myself to sleep this week.

but your all wrong with the Nissan sticker i mean come on! but yeah put some oil filled shocks on that baby.

ColquittCustom405 · 01-23-2006, 08:52 PM

I spy a flat screen monitor,cable splitter.....

Ohhhh you meant on the truck.

FrankyRizzo · 01-23-2006, 08:59 PM

Still a Nylint..........

engineerjoe · 01-24-2006, 07:28 AM

you guys got all but one.

the steering is a Giant scale ts-80 servo. basically i gutted the front axle, locked it in low, removed all the steering and shifting components and fit in this monstrous servo. but how do i get it to work with the stock electronics you might ask? i believe in one pic you can see the power wire from an aftermarket ESC!!!

so FrankyRizzo the only thing left Nylint is the 27:1 gear reduction in the axles.
the CG is still below the pivot point for the axles so its extremely stable, i get about 45 mins run time on a 6 cell 3000mah battery.
as for the "holy dremel work batman", i actually used a sawsall and tin snips for most of it (i dont own a dremel yet)
as for the nissan sticker, i chose the nissan body b/c i own a yellow frontier so watch what you say about em.

run2jeepn · 01-24-2006, 10:21 AM

Why didn't you shave the rear axle? That seems to be more important then the front.

SlammedMini469 · 01-24-2006, 11:45 AM

all the mods i spotted have already been mentioned!

are you still using the stock radio and reciever?

In case you didn't already know, they're kind of frowned on around here. Not HG, just wanna-be toys...get used to it.
