Default Down Under Rock Force

  1. :-P Hi, This is my first post so I hope I get it right and that you like the pic's. This is my RF that I have been toying with for some time now and loving it. At the moment I am running a Mamba max esc, Integy 55t with 18p/72s and HS gear set, Hitec HS-5955TG servos, Integy shocks, HPI Rock grabbers, Spektrum radio, and the RF disconnect in 3 waymode. http:// http://

Its nice to see a new member actually do something original.

Is it me or is the WB a little stumpy?

That'd be an RC4WD Rock Rider.

I am working on an RF (MOA) setup that is going to be running with a (Derlin Mantis Chassis) when it's available . I have not had any problems with my RF setup on the tuber like so many other people have talked about. 4 link was a breeze, The 3 way rear drive disconnect works fine. And the new (MOA) setup is coming along well.

Yes the HPI Rock Grabber tires are good on most types of stone and give it good ground clearance. I also run HB and Losi tires on the tuber as well.

I run a 1500mAh 3s LiPo that sits between upper links and under the front bonnet in a pocket made up for it. (Not shown in the pics)
