kmnss · 09-02-2010, 08:59 AM

Lookin' good. Keep it up, I wanna see that chassis painted.

vipxj · 09-02-2010, 12:33 PM

Thanks,still got braze on some mounting tabs for panels yet,then i can paint it. But i like the look of it.

vipxj · 09-06-2010, 02:10 PM

Hey,
I finished most of the tube work,and have cleaned up the brazing,looks allright .

I've put it together,guna throw some electrics in it and try it out before i go any further. I got a day off work,so going to try it out on my backward course.And its raining ,so it'll be nice and slipery,

.
Ill try and take some pics,but its pretty dark and gloomy.

Till next time.

Rckcrwlr · 09-18-2010, 06:37 AM

Nice...

Looking forward to seeing this thing run.

vipxj · 09-18-2010, 01:41 PM

Thanks Rckcrwlr,i just got to recide what electrics to run in it now.
It gets very expensive,getting hi end motors and ESCs in New zealand with the exchange rate and all,you may as well double the 'US' price.

But thanks again.

vipxj · 11-26-2010, 04:37 PM

Ive got a bit more done;
Its a jeep now;

Tire tuck?

Still got to finish bodywork and paint tubework,but getting there.

prifral · 11-26-2010, 08:42 PM

Thanks mate,yeah its coming together nicely,got to tidy the wiring,do something bodywise on the rear,trim a bit where the tires catch on the sides of the bonnet,and paint tubework.

Ive tested it alot,crawls very well,quite stable,and can climb well. 100% better than standard. Real happy with it,

Running a Tekin FXR,CC BEC,and a 45t motor on 3s,goes well,not real fast,but fast enough for me,and plenty of torque . Dont think ill bother with blushless for now,goes well as it is.

Mite get a hand wound motor for it,and some proline 2.2 TSLs when my work picks up.

Over all,i love it .

vipxj · 01-01-2011, 11:53 AM

Happy newyear everybody.

Anyway ,havnt done alot to it lately,just driving her,and painted the tubework grey.

But im after a suggestion for new tires?
Got Losi Claws on her at the moment,and they work ok,but are worn,and a couple have tears in the sidewalls,so are due for replacement.

Im thinking either;
Losi comp claws(as the claws work)
Proline 2.2 TSLs,
Proline Chiesels,2.2, or;
Pit Bull Rock beasts;
Not fussed ,either comp or scale tire,but one that works,and a bit taller than the claws.

Any other suggestions?,or choices from the above?

Proline 2.2 TSLs. It will give you the scale JEEP crawler look and they have worked out very well with my scx10 comanche.

prifral · 01-01-2011, 10:23 PM

PL TSL's without a doubt. One of, if not the best, performing scale tire out there.

vipxj · 01-02-2011, 10:21 AM

Thanks guys, i was more than likely going to go with the TSLs anyway,just wanting other peoples pinions.

Sweet,ill get them ordered today.

vipxj · 01-10-2011, 04:57 PM

Thanks guys for the rite susgestion Prifral & johnnie walker. Definitely the rite choise in tire,

lowslowTJ · 03-18-2011, 11:51 AM

Cool build. You will like the TSLs. I have always wanted a Rock Force.... tempting.

vipxj · 03-20-2011, 11:17 AM

Thanks man,im liking the TSLs,plenty of grip.
Must update this thread,got to pull it down,cause last time i drove it,i bent the tube going accros the back of the roof,i think i need a brace.

If you're going to get one,read the threads first,wormdrive is a whole new ballgame,you need plenty of power.
