Bear's MRC GC3 72' Chevy Build

[Rare Bear]

After a long wait, lots of parts, and one patient & amazing friend, my GC3 is built, and I love it!! I have never had this much fun w/ an RC truck, and w/ this new build, it will only get much, much better!

The Mongoose system is amazing - on 2S 7.4V, it has a TON of power, and more wheel speed than I could ever imagine. I know lots of guys go 3S w/ the Mongoose, but after seeing the power & speed, I'm shocked at why it would be necessary - at least for me.

No cogging w/ the Mongoose either - I was afraid this may be an issue, but it crawls super slow w/o a single problem - one of the best upgrades I've made, hands down.

Although not comp legal (I'm not a comp guy anyhow), the 4WS simply transforms this little truck into one amazing little devil; the GC3 frame already gave me quite a bit of steering throw as it is, but w/ 4WS, I can turn on a dime and get out of the tightest sections w/o a sweat - just a cool feature, and I love the way it looks, too - thanks JDawg for the rear steering plate!!!

My sincere thanks to Frank (Psycho Savvy) for such an awesome build - w/o his help, this truck would be a box of parts at best!! I would also like to thank JDawg for the extra servo plate for my 4WS system, as he really got me out of a tight spot.

Thanks to all the guys who answered all my silly questions over the passing months!

This truck reminds me of my own!

GC3, Mongoose, 4WS, Chevy body... I've found mine to be a great performer.

What radio system are you using? I just moved up to 3PM-X and its 4ws capabilities is awesome. Definitely a fun bash/casual rig.

Thanks!, I'm using the DX3R - 3 Position Switch works great for me. It's one fun little rig, that's for sure!!

Same with me. Only difference is that i have the xcelorin system rather than the mongoose. I am also using the DX3r and it works very good. Its a great setup and it very fun to drive!

I doubt that will happen, as I am a professional couch crawler!! I don't crawl outdoors, as this is my indoor toy, but believe me, it gets put through its paces, as me & my buddy setup some pretty mean indoor courses.

Will be officially breaking it in tomorrow at me & my buddy's birthday party - he sets up a killer course in his living room, and it will be a real shootout, as he has an identical GC3, but he is a better driver than me, so I will have to make that up w/ stupidity & power via Mongoose!!

Thanks again, JDawg!! Awesome frame!!!
