Yes, driving one-handed remote, steering with chin, filming, difficult and time consuming. Maybe next year thanks. Quote:

Well we had to ask, we'll put you down for next year. I just read the description on the RPM A arms and they've got a nice little tag line in there playing off of Traxxas, "the toughest name in R/C – RPM!" lol Watch out for that lawsuit RPM! |

Damn, Codyboy... that thing looks ready for just about anything - body has a sorta NHRA funnycar vibe, I like it! Beautiful woodwork, as well. You, Sir, are a renaissance man - multi-talented indeed! |

I probably spend 5-6 hours a day in my shop, one of the perks of being 70 and retired. The woodburning is therapy for me, when I was going through radiation and hormone therapy for my cancer it help make my life tolerable Thanks Paul, still waiting for parts before it goes back together. Just a little update on the Noble, it is a very nice radio, that fits my small hands so nice. Easy to set up and program!! Love the battery setup, but do still need to test the range before I put it in this truck! Hope you get a chance to see it at PLBTF, you and your XMAXX are coming? Right??? Ernie | |

| Re: Codyboy's Unlimited Desert Racer
I dedicated most of my time this month getting ready for the summer art shows which starts in a couple weeks so haven't spent much time on the UDR. Having said that, I hate setting up electronics and as usual I had a few challenges. Here is everything on the work bench trouble shooting. By the way with Thomas' at Castles help we got everything working on 6s. Been spending a little time here and there putting upgrades on the truck. Today it was RPM upper and lower a arms. Here you go Chris! RPM front skid and bumper. HR knuckles, Hex and Rotor. Alum rear housing. Upgraded to a Holmes servo and HR arm. All for now, thanks for looking! Ernie PS: Casey, are you going to have your new UDR at Proline? Last edited by CODYBOY; 04-26-2019 at 08:45 PM. |

If I didnt already have a crazy basher I likely would but I am bringing 6S power just not a UDR, its an Arrma Senton 6S I'll be bringing its new punchy Holmes Hobbies motor and monster X setup but I'm already thinking about how much punch control I'm going to need to add LOL Last edited by HumboldtEF; 04-26-2019 at 09:41 PM. |

Actually it was really fun but the "other" hours of fun came in when I had to tear the whole tuck down to get all of the fine sand out. I've stuck to dirt, gravel and pavement since. It developed some wonderful grindy sounds towards the end of that run. But I'd be happy to show you Clam Beach! | |

Holy blow the doors down! That thing has power. I imagine the big challenge becomes keeping it within sight I like your art work as well, it looks like wood burning? Coincidentally a number of years ago my girlfriend and I were in Portland and I bought a small wood burnt piece from a guy at that huge Sunday market down in the city. I remember watching him work, the process looked enjoyable. |

Hey alexone85, if you go back and look at post #17 you can see that you will have to cut the wheel wells for sure. I also changed the gearing to allow for the taller tires. Ernie | |

Thank you young man, and the woodburning is my stress release. And it doesn't hurt that I made $600 plus at a art show this last weekend. Ernie Last edited by CODYBOY; 05-14-2019 at 10:06 AM. | ||

| Re: Codyboy's Unlimited Desert Racer thanks, have I seen you, but do the wheels fit right away or do I have to adapt some parts or buy more than just the tires? Thanks

I bought the tires already mounted on the proline wheels. They are for a larger axle truck but the hex is the same size so I just had to ad washers to the wheels with a OD smaller than my lug nuts. Quote:
