TXT-1Tyler · 05-01-2005, 07:14 PM

can u reverse mount the tires for more traction??
or is the mounting one way?

BlueMonster · 05-01-2005, 07:52 PM

I got the Swampers on, cut the trans out of the chassis, threw out the rest. I am having a tough time, but might have it figured out. In fact, I am heading out to the garage right now to see what I can fab up...

Bigbadwhitey · 05-01-2005, 07:58 PM

Post some Pics.

How well does the stock servo handle the XRM's? How hard is it to swap the VMG electronics in?

BlueMonster · 05-02-2005, 09:17 PM

I am still waiting for pics, I need to see how you managed to attach anything to the axles. I can only see limited spaces, not enough to complete the linkage.

Xtremekrawler8 · 05-02-2005, 09:40 PM

What Kinda Run Times Are You Guys Getting Off the Stock Electronics On A Streched One. In total I Streched Mine out 2in.
1in on each side,
The length From Center Of The Axle To Center Of The Other Axle Is the Same Length As The Long Side Of A CD Case. I Put The XRM Tires On And They Killed My Runtime. So I Put The Lego TiresEThat Are Just Bigger Than The Rim. That Helped Run Time But Still Kinda Low. Tomorrow Im Gonna Hack The Chassis And Make A Totaly New One.

I can't wait Tortilla!

I think I got something worked out, I'll post pics in a bit.

In reference to the runtime question, I ran mine out of the box for about 30 seconds. Then I proceeded to tear it completely apart. I still have the axles, the rest is in the trash. I only wanted the axles in the first place, anyway.

BlueMonster · 05-03-2005, 01:25 AM

Ok, here is what I have so far...

mike · 05-03-2005, 11:20 AM

Xtremekrawler8 · 05-03-2005, 01:13 PM

BlueMonster · 05-03-2005, 07:13 PM

I am using full size electronics as well. It will have an Airtronics ES-01 ESC, it has the footprint of a postage stamp. Kokam cells and mini Airtronics FM receiver as well. All the smallest parts you can get.

Stock servo aint bad, but with the added weight of stretching and adding bigger body, u might need somn lil better.

I know I meant XRM tires. I've killed two XRMs.

TXT-1Tyler · 05-04-2005, 07:33 PM

these things are pretty damn fun when the txt is hot and tired just wip out the mini truck and bam! mods so far 1.locked diff 2.took stickers and wing and brush guard off 3.cut 2 and half coils out of all the shocks helps a lot for softing things up

PoorCrawler · 05-05-2005, 07:51 PM

XxPr3miumRid3rxX · 05-07-2005, 07:45 PM

so has any one done any updates???? The guy that has the lil jeep....... were did ya get that body?

BlueMonster · 05-08-2005, 12:43 AM

That Jeep body is from a 1/25 or 1/25 Daisy Duke model kit.

I have ideas, but so far not much true advancement on the project. I think I will wait until my mill arrives, so I can do exactly what I want the right way.

If anyone is tossing thier trucks for any reason, PM me first. I'd lke another set of axles or two!

Bigbadwhitey · 05-08-2005, 10:06 AM

If your asking About My Jeep body Its a TJ not a CJ .It cam on a New Bright toy ist about 1/25th scale. I havent done any work latly I mite make some links today.
