It's great for scale wheeling around.

Noted on the R2. Probably should have picked up the two speed R2 for it but this one is working out great.

Messing around with the iPhone and 6x6 this evening in the sippy hole.

1080p it

[Hammer!]

YES! i loved the mud puddles!

[Koldham]

this will be my next truck, just wish the KC6 was not like $200 more. like that body way more and its leafspring.

[chino63]

Awesome, need one for myself.

But your sippy hole looks kinda like a poopie hole. I hope it doesn't smell.

It's a good kit for the scale detail is brings.

It is a fun truck to drive. I dont get too crazy with it. That's just pine bark chips in the hole. No doodie.

1.9 Kryptons will probably get installed soon. Same height as stock but a lil wider.

[Szczerba]

Installed. Used custom cut Crawler Innovations Dueces Wild foams that I had in stock tires. Work great.

All business.

[fr8cture]

Curious how those tires work out.

They are the super sticky compound, so they feel good. The foams I put in are a touch narrow for these tires but they are the perfect height. Having a narrower foam will let the sidewalls and edges of the tires conform a little better. I am sure they will work fine. Been raining here and more rain tomorrow. Ill be in the mud again, soon.

[chino63]

Nice, they look better mounted than they do on the web site. Keep us posted.

They are working good so far. See video below, as I tried to get some close ups of the tires working.

Got bored and made an iPhone 6 Plus holder for the 4pks to get low videoing whilst driving. Some steel, MIG welder and a Ram Mount from my work truck.

720 or 1080p it.

[trialsallday]

Love this truck man!!
(No pun intended)
Considering one myself
Everything holding up alright still ?

[Szczerba]

Yep, holding up good with light wheeling. Except the stock trans. See pics back in thread. Have taken it on a long trail run yet. Hoffy on shapeways has made up a full set of replacement axle housings that add a bearing to fix stock housings. They are $200 for the set but would be worth it to keep the stock axle looks/setup. If I come across $200 Ill pick some up. What's another $200 on a $800 + truck. Haha

You are correct! you need my paypal address

[trialsallday]

Little OT but Gotta say I'm also really diggin the capo 8x8 tatra
I can justify the price I think , it's big , it's all metal etc etc.
I just don't know if I would actually spend the $.
I think it's worth it I guess but I just can't see myself dropping all that $ on 1 rc
Your thoughts ? What do u think of that model ?

All good points.

It depends but at my current salary to debt ratio, no. Not worth it. If I did have that money to spend on an R/C I probably wouldn't spend it on an R/C.

Say it out loud and see if it still makes sense. "I want to spend several thousand dollars on an R/C truck. "

[trialsallday]

Hahah well in all fairness ...
Isn't "only" about $2500 ??

I am not sure on their full price, I thought they were in the $3-4k range.

If I had the funds, it would be A toss up between that rig or a sweet custom construction R/C.

[Cortina79]

If had the money I would buy the cappo truck for sure.
