R.Billy Rob's first build. (Blue Toyota)
 

Hello, my name is Rob, and I'm a micro addict. It all started innocent enough, but now it just keeps getting worse, and I can't stop! :twisted:
Nor do I want to. This stuff is fun! I'm new to RC's, and got into the micro's because I really liked the whole scale aspect. I started my first build with a Trail Trekker. The body is a 1/20 Lindburg Baywatch Toyota. For power I went with a Danally 80t stroker with 58t spur gear. The chassis is a CrawlerX 5.5, and the servo is a Hitec HS-65MG. The wheels are also Danally, with Boggers, and Dirtmodeler beadlocks. And the esc is de-cased stock Losi. Anyway, here are some pics. Enjoy!

Sorry for the multiple posts, but for some reason I can only upload one picture at a time. Heres another:

I also made a truggy version so I could switch them out. Here's a pic of the suspension:

Here's an interior shot that shows the trans tunnel, and the box I made to house the esc under the dash:

I'm a sucker for a clean styrene build, though just getting into brass stuff myself. This rig has me drooling, very nice work! Now, if you'll excuse me...gotta find my drool rag.

Thanks guys for the kind words! This was my first attempt at styrene, and will probably stick to it for awhile. Although, when I have the space and money, I would love to get set up to work with brass. My first real job was working at a production jewelry company where I was the lead solderer. So brass soldering, and working in small scale, is right up my alley. But for now I'm limited to working on the kitchen table.
