Twisted.. Is that your Gladiator? Who makes it and where did you get it? I'm looking to do a scaler and want somthing different and that thing is way cool! |
Ya its his, they are awesome, I have one too. It was a walmart purchase, I believe it is New Bright."thumbsup" |
both are Planet Toys.. both are from good ol wally world.. come x-mas, they come out with the big boys. the Gladiator i got for $20 on clearence and the Rescue i got for $25 at a garage sale.... garage sales rule!!!!! |
Update so after a bunch of brazing and screwin around heres what i got.. i need to make new lower links for the rear to better center the rear tires.. tomorrow is the electronics and buttonin her up and deciding which shocks/springs to use... onto the pics http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...0321081820.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...321081820a.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...0321081821.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...321081821a.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...0321081822.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...321081822a.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...0321081823.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...321081823a.jpg the winch is mounted up in the chassi with brake line feeding it down through the moch winch http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...0321081824.jpg this is how it will sit with its intended rims.. didnt have time to mount em up yet to get an actuall pic.. http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1.../blackrims.jpg More tomorrow night! L8R :twisted: |
Graet looking body! And love the rims! Wish we would get some more 1/6th scale rigs in at WalMart. Yes I work at Wallyworld but havent seen any 1/6th stuff since Christmas. I am itching to build a scaler. I'll be watching this one."thumbsup" |
I think the 2.2's look absolutely horrid, but the nylint tires and wheels looks freakin bad ass! The 2.2's remind me of a monster truck with the trailer tires on, not a good look. |
Yeah I have to agree those red rocks look like hell, way to small. Those nylint tire do the trick though, I would personally run those with the body alittle lower."thumbsup" |
so.. i took it out for a run and those redrocks suck ass! i stole the zombie maxx hybrids with black HPI 5 spoke rims off my 2.2 comp tuber that just decided to take another crap and bolted them upon this.. it looks really good! they are about 1" taller then the red rocks and just a hair saller then the nylints.. and being that they are on 2.2's i can comp with it! like it matters... the thing drives like a 300lb wieght... kinda like a nylint! i should put one against the other.. stock nylint against this beast ... i be the nylint wins... i was getting hung up on EVERYTHING.. but that was mainly due to those stupid redrocks.... ill take more pics once i get her back together... Im thinkin of stealthin her out... paint everything thats green - to black... migth look pretty good! |
a day at the track.. ive only found pics of her doing a pull of 40lbs .. she pulled 3/4's the way down till she started to pull a wheelie http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/4...108AYs3DJs5ZNN http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/4...108AYs3DJs5ZNN http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/4...108AYs3DJs5ZNN |
Nice to see you got a truck thats running for once. I dunno if I got enough winch for that beast though so you might be on your own when you get stuck:lol: |
my winch is a 1/4 scale 805BB with 65lb test... (which ive snapped twice now with no effort) so trust me.. i can get out |
Nylints all they way bro 2.2s look way to small..Or maybe try some Jordans!!.. |
Heres pics from this past weeks comp... im am STUCK on these tires! Cut and shut Zombie Maxx's Rock! nice and sticky... http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...3/100_8059.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...3/100_8060.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...3/100_8063.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...3/100_8067.jpg It wheel'd really well! and the winch cable... Snap! i need about a 200lb beaking point... i think my winch lead maybe to blame. reworking it this and next week before the comp |
Those tires may work good, but they look absolutely horrible. It looks like you've got some lawn mower tires and rims with a 8" lift. 2.2 wheels and tires just don't work on that thing. 2.2 X 6 = 13.2" rim, yeah not good. |
Hey twisted, I am going to go to Sportsmans warehouse and get more of that line I have. I will bring it to the comp and you can test it out on that PIGGY!! |
dont tempt me.. i bet i can snap it. as a back up, im going to be having my wife make me a braided winch line using the 65lb spider wire ive got layin around... How much is this stuff by the foot/yard? |
I almost forgot.. i got this in the mail last night from Australia! Dark Drifter LED set... http://i21.ebayimg.com/03/i/000/e3/b4/c852_1.JPG http://i3.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/e3/b4/c949_1.JPG she going in the body tonight... we will see how well it works! now if i can just get video from my phone to the internet.... if there was only a way..... |
