Looks great nice job

Pdog7 · 12-12-2008, 12:57 PM

I'm late to the party...but I love your rig anyway

JasonInAugusta · 04-14-2009, 12:54 AM

Man...

After having this piece of RCC history sitting on the shelf I finally got a set of TXT axles for it.

Spent some time scrubbing the tires with Simple Green. Those IMEX tires love to turn gray over time. :neutral:

Will probably go over the tires a few more times to clean/soften them.

Was going to put CVDs in the axles but the inner shafts I have are the older shafts with hexes built in.

Will have it running by this weekend.

Jason thats awesome I love this buggy its a real piece of RCC history

JasonInAugusta · 04-15-2009, 12:24 AM

It's a roller. Still a few tweaks to make and things to fix. Used stock WK shocks on the rear, need to make lower mounts for the front.

Next to my 2.2 Campbell buggy...Big'n dwarfs the 2.2.

It was built before you joined the forums, it's the OG Campbell buggy.

First one anyone had built in RC.

run2jeepn · 04-15-2009, 12:55 AM

he built it just a few months before I joined. I remember very well.

JasonInAugusta · 04-15-2009, 01:39 AM

I thought when you said you missed it, you meant you missed this thread.

run2jeepn · 04-15-2009, 01:40 AM

LOL...I missed seeing the Rig.. It's nice your building it back up.

JasonInAugusta · 04-15-2009, 01:52 AM

Gotcha.

Makes sense now.

JasonInAugusta · 04-15-2009, 11:32 PM

OK, what should I use to power this thing.

I plan on running only one motor.

I have an E-flite Power 10 outrunner that's 1100kV and a Holmes Cobalt 7T.

I have a 4800mAh pack that I can use. Kind of have to use something that's the size of a stick pack since the cradle is already built into the frame.

Tires are soaking in WD-40 overnight.

jason · 04-15-2009, 11:33 PM

Monster maxx.

JasonInAugusta · 04-15-2009, 11:37 PM

I have a Mamba Monster I could use but if I'm going to be running a 7 turn Cobalt on 2S all I need is a Mamba Max.

The Power 10 is rated for 2-3S Li-Po but shouldn't be too bad on a 4S.

Still doesn't change the fact that I need to fit the battery in a standard stick pack location.

Then there's the whole issue of getting the TXT axles to survive a 4S thrashing.

(even a 3S thrashing)

Right now the lipos I have are all 2S 4800-8000mAh.

jason · 04-16-2009, 01:00 AM

Monster maxx 2200kv combo, 4S lipo.

You know if Shannon was into RC that is what he would run.

JasonInAugusta · 04-16-2009, 02:16 AM

Axles wouldn't survive.

Would sure be fun, though!

rocpede · 04-16-2009, 07:35 AM

i'm glad to see this is still alive

cruiserkb · 04-16-2009, 10:33 AM

It's good to see that it will be up and running. I have seen it sitting on the shelf in the background of some of your pic's and was wondering if it would come out of retirement. Hope to see some video soon and keep the pic's coming.

gyrene · 04-16-2009, 12:24 PM

I just read through the build on this. Freakin' awesome! I'm glad it was bought by someone here. How about a video on this JIA
