well it finally arrived!  now im just waiting on my rx, battery, and new servo for my LCC so i can take the old one out and put it in here! also going to order up a Chevy '72 c-10 body for it to match the LCC!  got the motor in and of course a poser flex shot!  started with some mods.... weighted the front wheels with some thin steel wire, that holds great under the beadlock ring.  started a super shitty paint job (stripe is crooked as hell!  ) but IMO the silver and "pumpkin" orange look pretty good! |

other than the wheel weights I plan to leave it stock for atleast a few runs to see how well it preforms, then paint the new chevy body "outlaw" black like the 2.2 big brother of this rig, then get some 1.9 rovers to match as well if i feel new tires are needed! also on the fence about a esc, B1R or sidewinder micro, maybe even a momba micro?? |

But I just happen to know the right guy!  Also plan to grab some MIP shafts for this thing when RPP gets them back in stock and the HH mini TM shreds the stock plastic! Last edited by 2500hdon37s; 06-01-2011 at 09:50 PM. | |

well didnt want to wait for a sidewinder mico so i picked up a Tekin B1R, and WOW this thing is tiny!  did a small test too, very smooth, and the HH has loads of tourqe and about perfect for wheel speed!  messily wired in and sitting on a small lexan plate for now! sits almost below the top of the chassis line, and im gotta be able to kep everything below the top of the chassis for a pretty dang low COG!

wel I got it running! radio- rc4wd xr4 esc- Tekin B1R motor- Holmes Hobbies tourqe master mini!  servo- currenty a Cirruis POS that is on its last leg and getting replaced with a Hi-tec 5645 batt.- Turnirgy 500mah 30c 2s so far im pretty impressed with this little rig that is 100% stock other than the 1oz per front tire! does need a little better overall COG and side hill, along with some traction. so I'll try to break in the rock claws to see how good they get! rx on rear upper links  batt. on the front upper links  off to crawlin!     |

What is holding the battery to the lexan plate? Also ziptieing the lexan plate to the links doesnt effect how it articulates? |

well took the junky servo apart that is on it put on a new top, old top was cracked allowing a pin to move and bind up the gears, so no need for a new servo yet. also got another pack throught it and noticed insted of a nice smooth driving style all the time the little weight of this rig really likes throttle blips to jump on ledges and has amazed me on my light-mild 2.2 comp course and even does the "tire climb" which is a quite difficult and steep climb to get on top of a 39.5" tire built into the course! more pics to come!

I trust my charger and lipo's enough ive never had a problm out of any lipo ive had other than an OLD one that was puffed and the only prob with it was it held about 25% in the bad cell so it had a short run time. | |
