LimpshoT resurrection build
 

Been put of the rc hobby for 30 years, got back recently with a redcat rtr gen 8 and decided to get a mud monster build going. Going with axial scx10 2 builders kit. This is inspired by Harley designs monster truck build he did a few years ago.

I'm still working on sway bars although with the shocks set up like I have theirs not much torque twist. My suspension is pretty stiff and works great for the weight of the rig.

Did you put yours on the scales? Interested to see how it weighs compare to mine when I get it together, but I have a long way to completion.

Got a few more parts for the build last couple of days. Reef triple 5, and Holmes puller pro crawler 3500kv. Lift kit install took me a bit there was one hole on each side that needed to be drilled. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...541af22628.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2d2eca629f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e953efc9cc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...02d7503d0b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a8948570c9.jpg

Body is painted, 4 cans of corsa Grey, 2 cans of black, 1 bright silver and 1 flat clear. Truck is solid, hit a few small jumps. On 3s it is plenty fast. Got a few details here and there I will add soon. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bdc99a630a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2dec8a78eb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e2775d2e7d.jpg
