johnny's beer can body tmc: New Video TMC Chassis Stretched wb 4.75" (aluminum tube over threaded rod with Micro T ends) BWD Vertex with Rok Lox Get Bent's 80t motor Traxxas servo 16oz Beck's beer can for the body. I'm on my 2nd esc, I still need to shrink wrap this one. Besides the beer can body I think the only new mod here could be the Micro T ball ends. I drilled each one out so I can get the .05 hex in there. After I cut the first set of links I wanted to test them and move them around, this made that a heck of a lot easier. This thing is an unstoppable micro monster! Sorry for the bad pics. http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/a...66/photo2a.jpg http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/a...66/photo4a.jpg http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/a...66/photo3b.jpg http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/a...66/photo1a.jpg http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/a...66/photo2b.jpg |
Looking good, Nice to see some more TMC's showing up. Once you streched the W.B. they are alot more capable & fun to drive. |
My dad loves that! I have two questions for you how do you like that motor and did you just paint the servo? Thanks -orangeplug |

Getbent's 80 t is awesome! on stock nimh it is so smooth and controllable but a little slow. On 2s lipo it's perfect. Loads of usable torque and wheel speed. It feels like you're driving a tractor or bulldozer... you can feel the power! Quote:
I actually finished this a few weeks ago but it's been so much fun I haven't had time to post it up here. I think I'm going to redo the body panels. I cut these before I stretched the wb so the hood doesn't fit like it should and It's getting a little bent out of shape from 3 weeks constant use! |
that is the coolest i've seen yet"thumbsup" good job man |
:shock: Damn.. That's nuts, I just started work on an "Old Chub" body for my TMC... Thought I was gonna be unique.. :roll: Sick though! Glad to see it's not a bad idea. Great way to get graphics on small body panels "thumbsup" |
That rig looks awesome. I just bought the same one. what did you use to stretch the Driveshafts. and from center of wheel to center of wheel is what? |
Crawler looks good, I like the panels. But why use Beck's?? There are much better beer's out there. :mrgreen: |

My brother in law brought it over and I was ceaning up after he left and thought it'd make good body panels. I think I'm going to try Guinness next! I'm about to open it right now ;-) DSchulten88, I haven't heard of Old Chub but it looks good. I like Scottish Ales and the darker the better! @ped453, thanks man "thumbsup" |

I was wondering when you would post up some pics of your rig. Looks great! I like the idea of drilling out your rod ends for access and the panels look really good on there too. Glad to hear the motor is working well for you, and that you're having fun with it! |

Looking good great job!! Blade |
I dig the wing-type things on the back. Makes it look fast and capable.. |
That looks great nice work. |
you should do that with a monster energy or rockstar can |
Man, that is sweet ! I hope the beer was flowing, so you had plenty of back up materials. |
Nice work! I like that you didn't put on those cartoonish miniqlo tires on it! Um... But I drink bottled beer. lol |
ahh, my lil baby. Thanks guys, glad you like it. It's been sitting for a while now, I've thought about selling it. I'm mostly working on a SCX 10 now... I love the tinkering aspect. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial-scx-10/301931-buxom-melons-class-2-vw-beetle.html I did just buy the BWD wideners though. I also have a new micro project in the works, still gathering pieces. |
