I Think I've seen rc models of the Goodyear blimp. . Probably would be hard to make one if you knew how they worked.

It might be cool to pick up one of those Goodyear ones and create a WWI era version... although the scale would be way off. It takes like 20 of those Goodyears to make one Zepplin. Talking 1 to 1 scale. But yeah, maybe I could rob the Goodyear version of its goods and go from there?

Sorry Nick! Back to your regularly scheduled programming...

you are now my hero i cant wait to see this done

NickRummy · 09-07-2010, 01:56 PM

Sorry guys it has been sold. With my son being almost 1 year old and my other projects going on I just don't have the time to do the custom stuff I used to. Maybe down the road I'll get back into the more in depth projects.

scorpion ax-10 · 09-07-2010, 06:58 PM

its alright man, you gotta do what you gotta do

foxposi_150 · 09-07-2010, 09:54 PM

nick did u just part it all out or what? i seen ya had the axle over in the sc forum. is the new owner gonna contiue a build thread?

NickRummy · 09-08-2010, 07:11 AM

Yeh it got parted. I don't think anyone wanted to continue the build as a prerunner. The body and chassis went to a guy in France actually. Looks like the axle is going to a guy over on the DR site. I still have all the front end components. It would have really been a headache to get working. It looked good sitting on the bench but making it perform decent is a whole other problem.

Nick,
Great lookin truck. Too bad you decided not to finish it.

Love the St. though. I bred em for years. Don't mean to go too OT but here's a pic of my Boris from his prime. He died a gray old man earlier this summer. In the photo he weighed in at 220. He was a big boy.

LOL

Sorry to dig this thread up from the grave but I've been searching and searching. Has anyone seen this rig finished? Had a lot of fun (aka lots of swearing) working on this thing....
