Supershafty BYB's - Setups and Show-Offs

[mjderstine]

Hey guys,

I had a thought a little while ago that since at least 5 of us have these that we should give out setups. Lets start with a nice simple format so we can easily compare.

(((just copy and paste this)))

Chassis WB size: 12.5" or 14.5"
Wheelbase:
Wheels/Tires:
Axle Width:
Motor/Esc:
Tranny:
Gears (Pinion/Spur):
Batteries:
Servo:
Shocks (oil/springs/pistons):

PICS AND VIDS SHOULD BE UPDATED AS YOU UPDATE YOUR BYB

that should be about it for setups.

also show us pics if you can of what your BYB looks like. I will start it off

Chassis WB size: 12.5" or 14.5"
Wheelbase: 17"
Wheels/Tires: white HPI Blast narrowed to 1.25" and 40 Trenchers narrowed to 2.5"

[Bart bender]

I agree, that W/T combo looks nice

[mjderstine]

I was hoping to get mine at least as a roller before posting. I'm working on it...

[mjderstine]

no worries there man. so are there only two runners out there now? Ricks and mine?

[Mazlem]

Buggy had that aluminum-framed one going but last I read he needed a new motor for it, which was about a month ago.

Mine's still a ways off. I'm about ready to buy a brushless setup but there's still a few other things to do like figure out how to mount a 4S battery (maybe I should have gone with dual 2S' on the sides like a stock TwinForce!)

[Cordwood]

I got side tracked with a couple other projects. I have everything I need, though. Should have a runner shortly.
