Project 2.2: BEAST Man Kat

[dezfan]

I hate you!

LOL!

[Bulldog]

Wow...that just gave me an idea....and I don't need any more ideas in my head. Congrats...that thing is killer!

[Desert Rc]

Well do tell bulldog....

Thanks Dez, I love you too!

Well I finally broke something. The front plastic bumper got ripped off. I was ramming this huge bush over and over like a rhino!! Every time I hit it with the 15 lb rig it shook and threw debris as it shed its fall leaves. I loved it.

The bumper was understandable.

Good stuff.

Oh and one wiper is gone. Lol

I have figured I need to light this rig up for night drives. Can't wait

[Desert Rc]

Well I broke it today. First broke a drive shaft. Then tried to limp it home and I guess the extra strain of all the weight broke the axle dog bone.

No biggie ordered some xvds from rc3wd and now I should be in business. Just need to upgrade the driveshafts then I should be set.

i assume you're going with mip's right?

Nothing crazy...but I need a tow rig!

[Desert Rc]

I have to check but I would imagine that the MIPS would work fine.

Bulldog when i get done with this it should pull something!

[Desert Rc]

Well I ran this pretty good last season, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I have had her on the shelf for about 4-5 months torn down....now I'm back to working on it.


I have a Holmes 35t torque master going in for the motor. It now has the CVDS in both sides. I'm going with hitec 7950th high torque servo....ya it needs it. Metal servo horn. And I think just a Tekin fxr esc. 4pl receiver so I can do some cool stuff.

I want to have a crazy winch in there and saw some crazy stuff Heyok was working on....might have to hit him up. Good thing is almost anything can fit.

I will be making a wee bit longer and wider flat bed with poles and ropes. Big enough to carry any scaler.

I got re-hyped on this rig after seeing Noobs completed and I absolutely love the bright color. It actually grew on me. At first I was like I dunno....but now I want something similar.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to run a super pop lime green color. White top panel, and black small accents, I can wait. All new glass. Simple interior. And then off for tube work. Wish I had the time or the desire. I like doing the styrene work don't like tube work as much. I dunno why.

Not much to show but the windows are busted out...and will be replaced with clean lexan.

Also added a bottom section that will be getting more detail and more lights,
I got a light kit from Hooosier Daddy and I must say I really like the way he does business.

[doudou]

what s new on this beast .

[Desert Rc]

Here is some long awaited progress. I guess I got a little burnt out on this one but here is a new color shot. This is just the beggining. I have a lot of detail to put into the body.

Color is like a grey baby blue called peekaboo blue.

[Desert Rc]

Okay this will take a sh$t ton of detail to get this how I want but I am having fun again with this rig and that's what counts in my book.

[Desert Rc]

The top and trim is done in this stuff. I got a couple cans at this second hand like store. It's weird you can layer it up to the point it just powders up then you brush the top off till you get to the base coat. If you really rub it like you polishing it looks like tin or aluminum foil. I left it with the powder primer look. It seemed very military-ish. I'm interested in how it will hold up to abrasion.

[Desert Rc]

I also think I found the perfect lights for this pig.

[Chwhpa]

That thing is crazy big
