Jesse you been a very busy guy. Your tuber build is awesome! I did not know you where building a 2.2 tuber. You really put a lot of hours in that, great work buddy. Hopfully we will get in some crawl time to test it out.

Thanks man.
Yea, I'm waiting for my modded TQ3 I orderd on the 11th to show up so I can get the dig hooked up.

Well my radio finally showed up, it got a trip around the U.S. thanks to a shipping error with the good old U.S.P.S.
Anyway, here is a link to a vid of it in action.

Yea I get paid again on the 11th. So I will get that powder coating system, some powder, and a steering servo. Cause that S3003 just aint gonna get it. And I need to get my Ramcharger in the shop.

Because I still can't narrow down that half throttle stalling issue.

I'm wishing I had paid more attention in auto shop when they were teaching us about carbs.:?

Well my 1:1 had a streched timing chain.

Will be fixed on a not so cold day this week. My comp rig testing is complete.

Now, I just need to get it powder coated. And it will ready to go.

Well, The Hotness has color it took a while. I still need to finish the axle mounts, I'm going with a Matte Black for the axle and servo mounts. Azure Blue for the chassis and link tubes. And Luminier Silver for the body panels.

And any opinions on the rims? I was thinking, blue rings, black hubs and silver screws. Or silver rings , blue screws, and black hubs. (the last combo being the easiest.)

Even though you built it as a comp tuber, it looks like a buggy one would drive as a full size, Boggers and all.

The color looks really good.

hitman46mod · 02-17-2008, 08:41 AM

Thank you sir. I used this design with the thought that if it was good enough for real comp why not for a scale comp. The rig works well, and I cant wait to run a set of Krazy Krawler tires on it.

STJ7780 · 02-18-2008, 08:50 AM

Rig looks great. What type of batteries are those? do they work well.? Where did they come from?

balang_479 · 02-18-2008, 11:32 AM

WOW.... really impressive

I got them off Ebay. They are Avectoi Sub Cs 7.2 volt 3500 NiMH. I have had them for over a year now and they seem to be holding up real well. I do plan on going to a 3s lipo setup, but it is cost prohibitive at this point. I will have to wait for my taxes to come back. Then I guess I will help out the economy.

Wow, first time I went through this whole thread. Awesome rig man. Amazingly scale looking as well. Really turned out sharp. Can't wait to see more pics on the rocks.

2JSC · 02-22-2008, 05:41 PM

Decided to pop in and see how the build it going...

Looks amazing! I didn't catch what shocks you are using? How tall are they? Keep it up man!

I'm using these 110 mm shocks great deal. Mine came with black springs they are good and soft. http://cgi.ebay.com/Billet-shocks-11...742.m153.l1262

hitman46mod · 03-15-2008, 01:44 PM

2 of my new parts arrived

hitman46mod · 03-16-2008, 11:46 AM

Well all most done just waiting for my deans connectors to show up and solder them on the rig and batteries.. For now I will use a Tamiya pigtail for power.

Here is some pics of how I laid my electronics in. I will tidy the wires up with convoluted tubing as usual. Then just saving for the lipo setup, and install the interior.

hitman46mod · 03-16-2008, 09:55 PM

After spending the afternoon tuning my throttle curve on my Mamba Max. I got it smooth as butter.
